The Predator will hunt once again in a new miniseries by Ed Brisson and Francesco Manna next year.
Predator: The Last Hunt continues the story of Theta, a character Brisson co-created, as she continues on her “one-woman rampage across the spaceways to slay the deadly Yautja.” Theta appeared in the two Predator miniseries Marvel released last year under their 20th Century Studios imprint.
“I’m incredibly excited to be continuing my work on Predator,” Brisson said. “This is a book I love dearly. I’m proud of the work we’ve done in the past two volumes and think readers will be excited to see where we’re headed in this third volume. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.”
Here are the details on The Last Hunt from Marvel.com:
For years, Theta has hunted and killed Predators in her search for the one that killed her parents. Now, she’s on a mission to free the human captives from the Predators’ game preserve. But when a Super Predator is on the loose, even a seasoned hunter like Theta can become prey…
“Theta has been carrying a lot of guilt over the events of the last arc and has made it her mission to find the Predator Stasis Farms and free the hundreds (thousands?) of prisoners being held for the Predators’s hunting pleasure—at the same time, her 20 plus years of Predator hunting is all coming to a head as she suddenly finds herself in the crosshairs as it becomes clear that her mission may be a trap,” Brisson said.
Look for the first issue on Feb. 21.
