I have come across some pretty interesting crossovers, but this takes the cake without a doubt. When I first read the title, I had to make sure I wasn't seeing things. After getting all the way through the book, I couldn't deny that I had indeed read the first issue of Archie vs. Predator. Yes, it's still as hard to believe as I write this review.
So how exactly does one mix a comic like Archie with something like Predator? The book starts off with the gang trying to figure out what to do for spring break, and thanks to Jughead's snacking, win a free trip to a resort. During their time there, a series of events featuring typical drama causes Betty and Veronica to get into a fight. Eventually, it is worked out, but not before a certain space hunter sets his sights on the group before they head back home.
Not having read an Archie comic in a long, long time, it was really cool to see all of the familiar characters and settings again. Even being in a newer book, the artwork has stayed true to the classic, just with a slightly sharper touch. Oh, and there's the blood and violence tossed in courtesy of Predator's brief appearance.
With this being the first Archie I've read in ages, it was a hilarious new way to hang out with Archie and friends. Whether you're a fan of Predator or Archie, or both, this is a really amusing book to pick up. I will gladly look forward to reading more and would say it's worth you're time to do the same.
