PREDATOR VS. BLACK PANTHER

The hunt continues—and this time, Wakanda is the ultimate hunting ground.

From acclaimed writer Benjamin Percy and Stormbreaker artist Chris Allen, with cover art by Ken Lashley.

You saw the Marvel Universe’s most tenacious mutant go up against one of the greatest killing machines in history in PREDATOR VS. WOLVERINE…and survive. Now Earth lives on in Predator lore, a planet full of the most exhilarating prey they could imagine! A young Predator warrior with everything to prove travels to Wakanda, seeking the nation's vast stores of vibranium to forge weapons and claim glory over his brother. But when Wakanda's perimeter shield locks down, it transforms the isolated kingdom into the perfect hunting preserve, and T'Challa must defend his people against an enemy whose resources rival those of his great nation.

KING VERSUS KING IN A BATTLE FOR THE THRONE.
