Marvel’s Predator vs. Wolverine series has been a bloody good time, and now, based on the cover art below, it looks like the feud between the two elite killers is about to head to Japan for its next round!

Moreover, the synopsis for Predator vs. Wolverine #3 teases how Percy is shifting the time and circumstances of the tale to showcase Wolverine at one of his most brutal points: a time when he’d gone feral while his mind was a slave to the Weapon X Program! 

Fans of the X-Men have been enjoying seeing Logan battle the Yautja (Predator species) in different periods of history – all while Percy links the various anthology stories together through a present-day encounter between Wolverine and the Predator. Issue #3 definitely has the hook of having the Berserker Rage animalistic version of Wolverine on the battlefield – the version of the killer mutant that could actually have a Predator feeling the prey, for once. That definitely seems like it’s going to be the case, as the preview also teases Wolverine wielding one of his signature swords (the honor sword of Clan Yashida, the Muramasa Swords) in the fight.

TIME TO BLEED! The most gruesome chapter yet! Years after his first encounter with the Yautja, Wolverine’s gone feral-just the way the Weapon X program likes him! If the Predator thought the mutant was hard to kill before…now he’ll meet the real beast. But the prize this time isn’t just the kill. Now Wolverine carries something precious within him, something a Predator’s never encountered. An indestructible metal that would give the hunter the edge over prey on any world…
