Predator vs. Planet of the Apes #1 — Greg Pak orchestrates a three-way war between hunters, primates, and a stranded astronaut
When a Yautja ship wrecks on the forbidden world of the apes, the food chain shatters. Astronaut Arch survives a crash only to find humans enslaved by a brutal primate hierarchy, only to become prey alongside the apes when the hunters descend. Greg Pak and Alan Robinson kick off a desperate struggle where no one is safe. You're going to want to see how this collision unfolds.
If you ever wondered what happens when two of sci-fi's most relentless franchises decide to settle a score, this is the stack that answers the question. Greg Pak steps up to write Predator vs. The Planet of the Apes, taking the eternal hunt of the Yautja and dropping it straight into the heart of the ape world. It's the kind of crossover that feels inevitable once you read the setup, yet promises enough fresh blood to keep the genre fans guessing. Alan Robinson's pencils bring a texture that grounds the spectacle, making every threat feel visceral and immediate. This is a debut that invites you into a world where the hierarchy of survival is about to get turned upside down.
The story begins with a rescue mission that spirals into a nightmare. Astronaut Arch crash-lands and wakes up in a reality where humans are the lowest rung on the ladder, forced into servitude by a warrior ape civilization. Arch is caught in the middle of a society that views her kind as livestock, trying to navigate a landscape defined by fear and dominance. But the danger doesn't stop at the ape perimeter. The Yautja have arrived, and they see the apes not as rulers, but as the ultimate game. Suddenly, Arch isn't just fighting for her life against a brutal ape hierarchy; she's caught in a crossfire where three species are all hunting one another, and trust is a luxury no one can afford.
A quick heads-up for those who like to collect the variants: the Stonehouse cover is going to be the one everyone reaches for. It captures the essence of the three-way clash in a way that's going to look fantastic on a shelf, and given how quickly these crossover debuts tend to move, you'll want to keep an eye on the stock. If you're after the variant, you'll need to be early, but even the main cover is a beautiful piece of artwork that does justice to this wild concept.
