Kamen Rider-themed Spider-Man and Cyclops custom action figures



Jeff VanderMeer wrote a Predator novel called "Predator: South China Sea" and it contains a tiny glimpse of what would become "Annihilation"


(Not available at Amazon at all when I checked after seeing that tweet, and the few physical copies at ebay are prohibitively expensive.)

It's mostly a lackluster page-turner about far, far too many characters finding themselves hunted while visiting a resort island. But it was published in 2008, and features a tiny subplot that was eventually imported into "Annihilation." Spoiler if you plan on reading "Predator: South China Sea":
