Segment - Interview: Ben Percy - Predator vs. Wolverine #1 (out Sept 20); The Sky Vault Sept 12; Sabretooth War January

1. Not to brag, but we predicted this was coming as soon as Marvel snagged the Predator license! How long have you been actively working on this?
2. Predator, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, do you see these characters as classic monsters on some scale? The horror vibe is strong with your comics work!
3. With two of the most famous killers in media, has it been a challenge coming up with ways they take chunks out of each other?
4. You have some of the longest runs going at Marvel right now with Wolverine and X-Force, do you feel like you understand Logan better now and if so, how so?
5. Sabretooth War is co-written by Victor Lavalle. Obviously no spoilers, but what has your process been like collaborating on this future X-Men project?
6. Moving onto your new novel The Sky Vault (out Sept 12), the third book in a trilogy, how does it feel unveiling the comets origin after two books?
7. There’s a lot of realism and depth in The Sky Vault, how much research goes into your works like this one, with weather and astronomy involved?
8. You mention in the acknowledgements you use “slippery science” 
9.  Do you ever find yourself daydreaming about your novels being adapted into comics since you work in both formats?
