Archie vs. Predator

In this gleefully absurd 2015 Dark Horse miniseries, writer Alex de Campi and artists Fernando Ruiz, Art Baltazar, and Matt Kindt drop the Predator into the sunny, soda-fountain world of Riverdale. Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and the gang must survive a terrifying alien hunter, leading to a bloody, satirical clash of teen comedy and sci-fi horror. It matters as a perfectly pitched crossover that celebrates—and mercilessly skewers—both franchises.
