Fresh of its Predator plans returning to its schedule in July, Marvel Comics is also reviving its Predator versus the Marvel Universe variant cover theme that it also initially announced last year. 

The iconic sci-fi property landed at Disney and therefore its comic book license landed at Marvel along with the Aliens franchise when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox's film assets.

Marvel has revealed all 20 covers and creators and their on-sale dates:

They're not actually in the Marvel Universe ... yet, but maybe someday Predator will be counted among the best Marvel villains of all time. 

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
