If you thought Marvel’s Alien comic was great and was looking forward to the new Predator series, you might want to sit down.<\/p>\n
For some unknown reason, Marvel has cancelled all orders for the upcoming series, all variants of the Predator appearing on covers throughout the Marvel universe, and axed the planned Omnibus. The books are being rescheduled for November. The only reason that seems to make sense for the delay is that Marvel will be leaving Diamond Comic Distributors for Penguin Random House and perhaps they want to wait until after the switch to launch the new series.<\/p>\n
*shrug*<\/p>\n
Anyway, here’s the retailer blast announcing the change:<\/p>\n
PREDATOR Series Update
\nMarvel\u2019s previously announced Predator ongoing series, Marvel vs Predator variant program, and Predator Omnibus are being rescheduled. Current orders for the Predator #1 and Marvel vs Predator variant titles will be canceled and resolicited for a November 2021 on-sale. Current orders for the Predator Omnibus will be canceled and on-sale details are to be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n
