Archie vs. Predator II #1

Revenge Comes to Riverdale" — and this 2019 opener to the five-issue series wastes no time delivering on that promise. Robert Hack's cover places Archie, Veronica, and Betty front and center, armed with a rifle and a baseball bat respectively, while a massive, snarling creature looms behind them flanked by armored Predator hunters on either side. The collision of Archie Comics' cheerful Americana with the relentless menace of the Predator universe feels every bit as wildly entertaining as it sounds, and with Alex de Campi, Hack, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Jack Morelli on board, this creative team looks well-matched to the delightful chaos ahead.
