Predator vs. Spider-Man #1 (2025) is a four-issue crossover miniseries from Marvel Comics, released in April 2025. It is written by Benjamin Percy and illustrated by Marcelo Ferreira, following previous crossovers like Predator vs. Wolverine and Predator vs. Black Panther. 

Plot and Setting

• Context: The story takes place during a massive heatwave in New York City that causes a citywide blackout.
• The Predator ("Skinner"): The comic introduces a unique, highly ruthless Predator named "Skinner" who operates without the honor or clan ties typical of Yautja, motivated solely by bloodthirst.
• The Hunt: Skinner lurks within the city's sewers and subway tunnels, dismembering and skinning victims for trophies.
• Spider-Man's Role: Spider-Man patrols the city during the chaos, investigating the grisly murders, eventually facing the creature in an urban survival scenario.
• Other Characters: The story heavily features Mary Jane (trapped on a subway), J. Jonah Jameson, and introduces Kraven the Hunter, who enters the city to track the Predator. 

Tone and Style

• The comic is described as a gritty, "red-band" style, ultraviolent horror story that pushes boundaries for a typical Spider-Man story.
• It is a slow-burn opening that focuses on the mystery of the killings before the direct conflict, with art by Marcelo Ferreira, according to reviews.
