Archie vs. Predator II

OK, who could resist running this cover?

The title: “Archie vs. Predator II.” Not only is Archie Andrews, whose buddy is Jughead, taking on the Predator, who battled Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, but “II” … Archie has fought the Predator before, survived and is fighting the Predator again.

Then, the art: Archie flanked by an armed Veronica and Betty while Predators loom above them.

As ridiculous as the premise sounds, “Archie vs. Predator II” is a fun read that oddly enough works, kinda.

A Predator war is being fought in the halls of Riverdale High. Betty and Jughead seek the source of the war in a different arena.

Archie Comics has released a trade paperback that collects all five issues of this miniseries.
