Predator Vs Black Panther #1 is an ok start. There's potential there but overall it feels like a story that'll be far more enjoyable in one go than the individual issues. Read Full Review
This would make an AMAZING What If? episode, or even mini series. This was excellently written and drawn, and the pairing makes complete sense especially with the vibranium spear plot device. I'd love an entire season of What If? devoted to vs. Predator and/or Aliens episodes, cuz the Wolverine series was great as well.
Plot
Two tribes of Yautja led by two brothers enter into a war for years, leaving the tribe of the eldest brother as the winner, since he had a secret weapon, a spear made of a powerful metal that they brought centuries ago from planet Earth, it is vibranium.
The younger brother, humiliated, decides to look for more of this metal to make himself a complete armor and thus defeat his brother. This Predator is skilled with technology and has a metal leg as well as retractable claws on his arms. Using a magnetic wave tracker of Vibranium he reaches Wakanda.
In Wakanda, Black Panther argues with Shuri about not sharing Wakanda's technology and vibranium with the outside world, T'challa fears that this can make Wakanda more
I read the first issue of this great series, I really liked everything. The landscapes of Wakanda are beautifully drawn. For some reason, the predators needed vibranium, which Wakanda possesses :) One of them has a cyber prosthesis of his left leg.
