Marvel fans cheer: They’ve been waiting for this superhero crossover for a long time

While pretty much anything is possible in the world of Marvel, there are always clashes that create a lot of buzz among comic book fans. This definitely includes the newly announced crossover saga that sees Wolverine fighting the Predator.
