Percy, Ferreria, and Picciotto do right for the Predators in Predator Kills the Marvel Universe. The infamous alien hunters are presented as cool, violent, and competent, everything you want from a Predator story. If you want to read a good comic starring the Predators, then Predator Kills the Marvel Universe is off to a worthy start. Nonetheless, the rushed artwork and awkward characterization of several Marvel heroes hold this issue down. Percy is clearly enjoying constructing and breaking his own version of the Marvel Universe, and that joy is palpable to an extent. You may love how Percy breaks all the toys, even if it isn't the most sophisticated story on the stands. Read Full Review
Fans of the Predator vs. Marvel comics to date will find more of the same here. The action is suitably intense and gory, as befits the franchise.

If you have followed the exploits of Ben Percy's ongoing crossover saga, then you will have already read Predator Kills the Marvel Universe #1 at least three times before. Hollowed out by repetition across increasingly bland crossovers, it seems that the over reliance on shock has drained a title like this of its appeal even when divorced from the clear cut continuity of its predecessors.
