The LAST Batman vs Predator EVER!

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Seeing the Predator wield that antique gun at least makes me happy that Chuck Dixon is referencing one of my favorite Predator movies, "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Motherf"""ker".

You see, in this world, there's two types of Predators, my friend. Those with loaded plasma casters and those who get skinned. You get skinned

I want to see Kraven the Hunter vs Predator. Seems like a natural pairing.

[@shadowanderson2004]

I’m super excited for you Sal I’ll definitely be checking out your Terminator back ups!

[@InfernoDelta12]

Every time Sal covers a Predator book I just want to eventually have a Predator story written by him come out. It would be epic and blow the current marvel series out of the water.

Whenever Ben impersonates Predator talking through clicks, I laugh a little. If only he added a "grrrrrr" (like how Perry The Platypus would usually talk), that would be even more funnier😂😂😂😂. Keep it up, guys. Love the work.

[@tylersaez4095]

Oracle not knowing Robin's identity while weird is consistent with continuity. Dixon doesn't have Barbara and Tim meet in person until Cataclysm. Even then it's not established that she knows Tim's identity until 2001. Although it's very likely that Oracle always knew Tim's identity and was just humoring him.

Hey, Comic Pop! Not sure y'all remember me, but I did a mock interview with you the Saturday of San Diego Comic Con by DSTLRY Comics (the annoying guy with so many questions). The same guy who knew nothing about your channel (call me a heathen!). I hope you all are doing well and it was a pleasure to meet you. I'm glad I was exposed to your channel and more than look forward to your future content. Than you so much for being so cool to talk to and being willing to talk to someone that knew nothing about the channel. Anyway, thank you all for being so cool. Looking forward to your future content. That and pestering you with questions in the future (potentially). Kind regards, Jerrett, aka Jet

[@comicpop]

Great meeting you, thanks so much for chatting with us at the show and for checking us out after!

[@thomasshuck3923]

For years now, every time I hear about or talk about the predator in any capacity my mind goes back to an issue of Twisted Toyfare Theater. I don’t remember the context of the gag, or the Toyfare issue it was in. I just remember a predator being there and the onomatopoeia they used was just “predator noise predator noise predator noise”. It’s been lodged in my brain ever since.

You call it “Predators of the Caribbean”

[@thewilhelmscream7912]

Bravo good sir.🤝

[@kevinkruger1686]

I wish a Terminator vs Predator comic would have been made when Dark Horse had them.

[@creed8712]

That idea also works within Sal’s frame of what makes a good predator story that it’s another story and then the predator shows up. Imagine the terminator is doing what it does and then a predator appears and it thinks it’s Dutch and it’s like the life mate of the one he killed

[@DanV900]

AVP vs Terminator is certainly not great.

[@kevinkruger1686]

[@Stoopid_Sandwich]

Speaking as someone who works at a furrier, the cold storage area is merely to preserve the coats that have already been made in a low humidity and low temperature environment in the off season months. It preserves the skins more or less. Also it’s typical for a furrier to clean the coats and add essential oils into the skins so they don’t biodegrade. The pelts that arrive to the store are usually already opened up and treated usually by either a trapper or a tanner and then those pelts are sold at auction to the various fur houses across the globe

[@Volvagia1927]

Black Panther vs. Predator? And then, right after I typed that I looked it up to find out, yeah, they're about to release that in a couple weeks. When that gets collected, it'd be their...third...Black Panther comic.

They should have had a predator show up during knightfall. I imagine a Sal-based Predator seeing Azreal Batman and being truly depressed and annoyed st his time being wasted. Then scalping Jean Paul out of spite.

[@cola8481]

The worst part about the Batman-Predator crossovers, after the first one, to me is that they never got a chance to properly use the Batman universe. Seeing a Predator fight the rogues could be interesting! The Predator wading through a jungle-like green house that Poison Ivy made, filled with man-eating plants! The Predator having an implied previous battle with Ra's Al Ghul, or hunting Killer Croc in Gotham's sewers. If you want to be really indulgent, I wouldn't be too opposed to the Joker being hunted through an elaborate hall of mirrors by the Predator
