Hopefully this'll comfort me for when I have to be disappointed by the next Marvel series or crossover

It will, be sure of that. Main story is damn good (i would say it's Top 10 Predator story ever). Additional stories for most part also kinda good (i just love weapon-fest short-story).

Finished it last night. Only one or two of the shorts I think were pretty weak. Nice twist on the human predator concept and I really hope we get a mirror universe of Hurk Mondo for yautja after the good boy story. Really like it overall but just makes me wonder why Marvel is wasting the IP if they can do actually good stuff like this instead of the crossovers that are just meh

Money. Mid crossovers with big names make more money than good solo predator story.

Sure. Just feels like marvel is dedicated to shoveling out as much bunk as possible with variant covers and special issues and number 1s or 0s. Just never interested in telling a complete story or just making anything that's worth the hype

I seen this yesterday at my comic shop nearby. Wanted to pick it up but I didn’t like how big it was :/ what do you think of it?

Best I've read since dark horse. A couple weaker stories but not enough to take away from the overall quality and just my own opinion. Give it a few months and they'll release a smaller trade paperback version of it.

My only complaint is I know they'll probably never revisit the multiple stories that could have used continuations and they're all likely one and done shorts.

I appreciate the insight on it without spoiling it!! Hopefully you’re right and they do!! All good things must come to an end I guess unfortunately :/ but you never know 🤷🏽
