Archie vs. Predator II #5

The wild crossover comes to its finale with a cover that stops you cold: the Predator's massive, gleaming mask dominates the entire image, its blood-red eyes reflecting the Riverdale gang — Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl Blossom visible in one lens, with a Predator looming bloodily in the other. Robert Hack's cover art wrings genuine dread out of the collision between these two worlds, making the gang's peril feel utterly real even as the premise remains delightfully strange. As issue 5 of 5, this is the conclusion readers of the series have been building toward, and that imposing mask makes clear the stakes couldn't feel higher.
