Wow, those Predators really get around. We know from the films that they treat our world like their own personal hunting lease. We’ve seen them fight virtually everything under the sun from Batman to Aliens to Tarzan, but nothing could have prepared us for Archie Vs. Predator #1! I saw this one in the lists and just knew I had to read it. And I bet you’re curious, too!

The setting is Riverdale as our buddy Archie and his pals debate on what to do on their Spring Break. Thanks to a miraculous windfall of Jughead’s, the group gets a free trip to a beach resort. The odd ducks out here are Cheryl and Jason, who seem bent on making life difficult for the teens.

He’s met The Punisher, he’s met KISS, and soon, Archie will go up against Predator!

It was announced back in October at NYCC that Dark Horse and Archie Comics would be teaming up for the crossover event called Archie Meets Predator from writer Alex de Campi (Grindhouse, Lady Zorro, Smoke/Ashes) with art by Fernando Ruiz.

Now, the 4-issue miniseries has been renamed Archie Vs. Predator, and a few of the covers for the first issue have been released. Check out the covers – from Francesco Francavilla (Afterlife with Archie), Eric Powell (The Goon), and Fernando Ruiz (veteran Archie artist) — as well as a promo image for Archie vs. Predator #1, here below.
