I made this cover before I found out that Disney had acquired the rights to the Alien and Predator franchises. Now it seems like this is one of those match ups that might actually happen for real. I don't know if Marvel has any interest in folding the two space monster epics into their mainstream continuity, but I wouldn't be surprised to at least see some crossover one shots or mini series featuring one or both versus heroes from the MCU.
And like getting Superman's super hearing all at once, he'll be super overwhelmed when he tries it.
ReplyDeleteAt the rate Disney is buying entertainment corporations, that may be a problem for some time to come with crossovers to be.
Daredevil: "This is gonna hurt, isn't it?"
ReplyDeletePredator: "Yautja!"
Of Marvel characters to face the Predator, the one I'd most like to see is Venom... or perhaps Carnage.
ReplyDeleteAs for Aliens, I tend to think in terms of DC and other Warner-controlled entities: Legion of Super-Heroes, Space Ghost, Herculoids, Marvin the Martian, Bugs Bunny, the Warners (Yakko, Wakko, and Dot), etc.
I wonder, too, if there's any way to have Predator vs. "Mad Eye" Moody.
I'm wondering, from that wicked looking left hand, if Preddie has assimilated (or whatever he does) Wolverine...
ReplyDelete...also wondering what's become of your STF frame, which seems to have been missing for a few covers now?
Yeah, those claws made me think of Wolverine, too.
ReplyDeleteCrocodile Dundee riff:
Wolvie sez to Predator:
"Those aren't claws."
*SNIKT!*
"THOSE are claws."
And then Wolvie, slices, dices, and juliennes the poor stupid alien.
I know that Marvel is doing a series of variant covers featuring the heroes fighting Aliens or Predators but I'm sure a Marvel Universe vs Aliens vs Predator mini would be fun to see.
ReplyDeletedeath defing devil meets peter cannon thunderbolt also peter cannon joins the thunderbolts or agents of thunder also looney tunes in marvel universe would be cool
ReplyDeleteI would have thought Kraven Vs Predator a more natutal match.
ReplyDeleteThat one is on the blog.
ReplyDeleteThen, how about Batman and Kraven the Hunter double-teaming a Predator?
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else you could entitle it..."Stalked In The Savage Land 3!"
To heck with Batman vs Predator. Daredevil vs Predator should have been done in the first place. 2 characters who are visually impaired. Would be interesting how Daredevil's radar sense helps him fight the Predator. Kraven the Hunter vs should definitely be done. Hunters being the hunted.
