Marvel Comics recently revealed their new Predator comic series, and expectations were high after the successful debut of Alien #1. Unfortunately, a few days after the solicitations for Predator went live Marvel has cancelled those orders, and they also cancelled orders for their Marvel vs Predator variant covers, which were set to hit in May, and the Predator Omnibus, which collects Dark Horse Comics' Predator comics into one ultimate collection (via Bleeding Cool). The series and the Marvel vs Predator variant covers have been rescheduled for November of this year, but the Omnibus does not have a new date as of yet.

There's no reason as to why revealed by Marvel yet, but it will likely have an impact on Marvel's bottom line for May and June. Alien #1 ended up pulling in over 300,000 orders, so you would assume predator would pull in a similar number, and the variant cover program was set to cover 20 different books, including Wolverine, X-Men, Thor, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, Black Cat, Spider-Man, and more.

We'll keep you posted on what Marvel says about the delay, but in the meantime, you can find the official description below for Predator and the delayed variant covers.

"HUNT. KILL. REPEAT. In the near future, a young girl sees her family slaughtered by the deadliest and most feared hunter in the universe: a PREDATOR. Years later, though her ship is barely holding together and food is running short, Theta won't stop stalking the spaceways until the Yautja monster who killed her family is dead…or she is. Ed Brisson (IRON FIST, GHOST RIDER) and Kev Walker (DR. STRANGE, DOCTOR APHRA) forge a violent, heartbreaking, unforgettable new chapter in the PREDATOR saga not to be missed!"
