Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) | comment |
Archie Vs. Predator is a 2015 4-issue miniseries written by Alex de Campi and drawn by Fernando Ruiz released under the publication of Dark Horse Comics and Archie Comics. Similar to Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or Afterlife with Archie, its aim is to take the Archie cast and put them into a more mature Alternate Continuity setting, this time mixing up some sci-fi elements with the horror by pitting the iconic teen from Riverdale against 20th Century Fox's Predator. Unlike the other two series however, instead of being drawn in their more realistic style it's drawn in the usual Archie Comics style, with the story hitting more familiar Archie beats.In 2019, a sequel series, Archie vs. Predator II, was released. Again written by Alex de Campi and drawn by Robert Hack, the series picks up in the aftermath of this series' events.See also Archie Meets the Punisher for another not-fitting Archie crossover that's both more and less serious than this one. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Just one issue in and the Predator has already claimed the lives of Cheryl and Jason. Issue two steps it up by killing Sabrina, Salem, Pops, Midge, Moose, Reggie, Chuck, Kevin, and Mr. Keller. Issue three kills Jughead and Dilton. Archie is left near dead. Issue four kills Archie, Veronica almost dies but Betty saves her. | |

Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Seeing as how the Predator is killing regular members of the cast, this is all but natural. However, it should be noted that it's somewhat lighter than its horror-themed counterparts, due to lessening the seriousness and focusing a bit on the Black Comedy potential. | |

Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: While the Predators in the expanded universe are anti-heroes at best (especially in AvP related storylines), this Predator doesn't seem to follow its species code of honor and is more of a trigger-happy Stalker with a Crush who kills several civilians simply because they hold something that can be consider as a weapon like a knife. Even rogue Predators prefer to hunt a prey who can give them an enjoyable hunt. Pretty much everyone on the Archie side, too. Sabrina even becomes a voodoo Satanist with bodies buried in her backyard. Veronica and Betty are more than willing to physically fight for Archie, who himself is a complete womanizer. | |

Mythology Gag: When Betty & Veronica go to Sabrina for some info on the knife, the teenage witch pulls out the Necronomicom. She notes that it's really more for zombies than cursed items, but who ever saw a zombie in real life? In issue #3, Dilton comments that "A.V.P." is a pretty cool acronym. One of the pictures on Veronica's dresser shows her posing with The Punisher. | |

Body Horror | |
Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Aside from The Predator's increasingly creative kills, we get two big moments in Issue #4. A nearly-dead Archie is strapped to a healing station inside the Lodge's panic room, and Veronica fiddles with the knobs until it is literally set up to eleven (and completely ignoring the note beneath the console warning the user to never set it above four). We get a panel of the table injecting Archie with various chemicals and he undergoes a horrifying Akira-style transformation. Fortunately, he not only survives, but it bulks him up to Predator-Size to better fight the monster. In the end, Betty takes pity on The Predator and straps the dying beast to the healing station. However, she figured out how to set the template using Archie's DNA and forcibly transforms him into an exact copy of him... and The Predator is awake and aware as the machine rewrites his genetic code! | |

Police Are Useless: Played with; the police aren't around to help when the Predator arrives in Riverdale and starts blowing things up...but only because they've all been called to Sabrina's house after the discovery of a mass grave there. In issue three, it's shown the entire police force was turned into goats when the Spellman house vanished. That being said, it's revealed that the entire Riverdale police force can fit into just two squad cars. | |

Off With Their Heads: The Predator's favorite way to kill is to pull people's heads off with their spins still attached. This happens to Sabrina, Jughead, and Dilton. Although we only see the corpses and not the actual killings, we can assume that this was how Jason, and presumably Cheryl were killed, since we see the Predator holding their ripped-out spines and skulls. | |

Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_974b47a7 | comment |
Men Are the Expendable Gender: Played entirely straight. With the exception of the Predator himself, every main and secondary male character ends up horribly murdered, whereas not only do Betty and Veronica survive facing the Predator, but also Ginger, Nancy and Big Ethel manage to survive unscathed by deciding to skip town rather than risk facing the Predator. The only female characters who die are Cheryl, Midge and Sabrina. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Surprisingly, Veronica. As early as Issue 2 she takes the initiative to think of a plan to defeat the Predator and come Issue 4 she has no problems arming herself with an Uzi to kill him. She also mentions she always liked Maces as a weapon after she bludgeons the Predator with it. | |

Shout-Out | |
Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Lots of homages to the original movie: "You are one ugly melon farmer!" "Veronica Lodge: Ain't got time...to read." Seen when despite the instructions she turns up the healing machine past 4. An incredibly buff Archie's arrival in the 4th issue is a clear one to the infamous "You son of a bitch!" handshake. The Predator kills Sabrina with a spine rip. When the gang is in Costa Rica, one panel shows a seaside cabana called "Dutch's". Dutch Schaefer was Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the film. The bar is run by a guy who looks an awful lot like Jesse Ventura. Reggie repeats Blaine's "sexual tyrannosaurus" line from the original movie (only swapping out "goddammned" for "gosh-darned". | |

Flanderization | |
Archie vs. Predator (Comic Book) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Predators in their franchise do have a moral code allowing them to attack only humans with weapons, but the reason for this is because they are looking for preys capable of giving them a challenge. Unless specific conditions such as the need to remove witnesses, they typically attack only preys who can fight back, such as military veterans, and avoid more vulnerable targets like civilians and sick people. The Predator in this story doesn't seem to care if his victims are harmless civilians and teenagers, and is ridiculously Trigger-Happy to the point he will shoot and stab anyone holding something even remotely looking like a weapon, such as a kitchen knife. The only explanation given for its rash actions is that the predator itself is a teenager, and may be trying to show off for Betty and Veronica by showing how adept it is. It's also quite possible this particular Predator was one of the rogue "Bad Blood" Predators out there who don't follow the moral code that his people usually adhere to and can attack and kill civilians and/or the weak. Which makes it all the more unfortunate for Archie and friends because any other normal Predator out there would have left them alone. | |
