Grim Reaper Report for 05/31/2021

[Gregory Hecht]

Marvel's launch of their new Predator comic has been delayed.  There is some speculation that is because the original movie's screenwriters are trying to recapture the rights.  

Whatever the reason, apparently all of the Marvel vs. Predator variant covers have been cancelled.  At least some of these are in the database, and should be removed:

• AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 65 CORY SMITH PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210611
• IMMORTAL HULK 46 KEOWN PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210635
• STRANGE ACADEMY 10 RON LIM PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210644
• BLACK CAT 6 MAYHEW PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210619
• FANTASTIC FOUR 32 SUPERLOG PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210545
• GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 14 SPROUSE PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210627
• HEROES REBORN 2 GIST PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210513
• SPIDER-WOMAN 12 RYP PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210617
• AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 66 DELL'OTTO PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210615
• CHAMPIONS 7 RAMOS PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210646
• DAREDEVIL 30 SIENKIEWICZ PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210632
• THE MIGHTY VALKYRIES 2 JUNGGEUN YOON PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210569
• WOLVERINE 12 HOTZ PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210596
• BLACK WIDOW 7 ANDOLFO PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210630
• MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN 26 DE LULIS PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210622
• X-MEN 20 STOKOE PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) MAR210600
• IRON MAN ANNUAL 1 BENNETT PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) APR210732
• CAPTAIN AMERICA 30 COELLO PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) APR210915
• CAPTAIN MARVEL 29 NORD PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) APR210910
• THOR 15 RAHZZAH PREDATOR VARIANT (WDC) APR210933

Presumably those covers will turn up at some later point in time to coincide with the new launch date for Marvel's Predator series if and when that comes to pass.  

It might be worth considering whether or not to pull the Predator (Marvel) title at this time as well... or, at the very least, make a note to revisit that title in a few months if it isn't resolicited for October or November release.  

My understanding is that orders for Marvel's Predator Omnibus has been cancelled, presumably to be resolicited at a later time.  I'm not seeing that item in the database at this time, so there might not be anything to do for follow-up on that item at this time.
