TWO LEGENDARY SCI-FI WORLDS COLLIDE IN PREDATOR VS. THE PLANET OF THE APES!
Marvel Comics’ Predator and Planet of the Apes comic book storytelling evolves this July in PREDATOR VS. THE PLANET OF THE APES, a five-issue series by Grek Pak and Alan Robinson.
New York, NY— April 23, 2026 — Evolution created them. Now the hunt will test them.
This July, the galaxy’s greatest hunter finds new prey on a world ruled by apes in PREDATOR VS. THE PLANET OF THE APES, a five-issue Marvel Comics series written by Greg Pak (Planet Hulk) and drawn by Alan Robinson (X-Men Infinity Comic). Made in collaboration with 20th Century Studios, the series marks the first-ever crossover between the two groundbreaking sci-fi franchises and is the latest in Marvel’s line of acclaimed 20th Century Studios storytelling that includes recent hits like Planet of the Apes Vs. Fantastic Four and Predator: Bloodshed. Blending the mythology as well as the themes of both universes, the revolutionary saga pushes both Yautja and ape to their limit in a brutal battle for dominance!
Worlds collide when a deadly Yautja crash-lands on the legendary Planet of the Apes!
After a rescue mission gone wrong, astronaut Arch finds herself embedded in a hostile ape society where humans are subservient. But the hunters soon became the hunted when the apes find themselves being stalked by Predators! A three-way war is about to erupt between humans, apes and Yautja – who will reign supreme?!
On his love for both franchises, Pak shared, “I vividly remember watching the first Planet of the Apes movie on an old 13" black and white television in the early 1980s and having my mind TOTALLY BLOWN. So I was thrilled when Marvel approached me to write Planet of the Apes comics -- and then even MORE thrilled when they said it would be a Predator book as well!”
“Planet of the Apes and Predator are two of the most iconic sci-fi series of all time—I'd be thrilled to work on EITHER of them. But both of them together? Just incredible,” he continued. “Both series do so much wild worldbuilding, grapple with a deeply organic and compelling kind of sci-fi, and take on massive and eternally relevant themes of violence and war. Both also absolutely GO THERE, taking huge risks and leaps all the time. I can't wait to show what we're cooking up with Alan Robinson and the rest of the creative team. “

"When Matt Fraction first pitched this series to us way back in—heck, I guess it was 2004?—I thought it was just about the coolest thing ever and despite the passage of time and all the other comics that have come and gone since then, my opinion remains unchanged," said Eric Stephenson, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics. "Matt and the Twins knocked it out of the park with this series. If you haven’t discovered Casanova yet, I envy you—comics truly don’t get much better than this!"
Casanova Quinn gets ripped out of spacetime, betrays everyone he ever loved, and destroys whole worlds in his wake. But it's okay. Everything's going to be okay. Casanova: destroying multiverses before destroying multiverses was cool.
Casanova Compendium trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534330337, Lunar Code 0426IM0468) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, June 24 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, July 21.
IT’S LONELY AT THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH READERS WON’T BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN MEMORIES OF GISELLE GRAPHIC NOVEL
Sneak peek at early preview pages
PORTLAND, Ore. 05/07/2026 — Rising star cartoonist Katia Vecchio (Silver Vessels, Painted) will make her Image Comics debut with the forthcoming original graphic novel, Memories of Giselle hitting shelves this Summer from Image Comics. This highly anticipated, hard-hitting tale, inspired by true events, will captivate readers with its tender exploration of coming-of-age while coming-to-terms with trauma.
Perfect for readers who enjoyed Zoe Thorogood’s It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, Allie Brosh’s Solutions and Other Problems, and Kate Beaton’s Ducks, Memories of Giselle is a haunting, deeply compassionate Bildungsroman. It explores the slippery nature of memory, the psychological wounds we walk with, and the fierce, quiet bravery required to reclaim a life shaped by trauma.
As the Memories of Giselle unfolds with quiet inevitability, a brother and sister move through the fragile terrain of a childhood marked by hidden abuse, silence, and loss. Giselle is pursued by the memory of her late grandmother and by a single, recurring image—an empty boat—an emblem of the truth she has spent years repressing. As adolescence draws her into the bewildering realms of desire, vulnerability, and trust, the fractured pieces of her past begin to align, revealing a story long buried and the shadow it has cast over her and her brother’s present-day lives.
Memories of Giselle (ISBN: 9781534330757, Lunar Code: 0426IM0290) will be available in trade paperback at local comic book shops on Wednesday, June 17 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, July 14.
"For its tenderness, nuance, and complex portrait of the traumas left by childhood sexual abuse, Memories of Giselle is a standout graphic novel." —Foreword Reviews (Starred Review)
"An absorbing coming-of-age story that slowly reveals its truth and leaves a lasting emotional impact." —AIPT
