Arnold Schwarzenegger first fought the Predator. And now, of all pop-culture heroes, so does Archie Andrews.

Dark Horse Comics and Archie Comics are combining two popular franchises for Archie Meets Predator, a four-issue series coming in spring 2015 by writer Alex de Campi (Grindhouse) that puts Archie and the gang in the alien hunter's sights while they're on spring break in Costa Rica.

The beach vacation comes unexpectedly after Jughead wins a prize from a lucky bag of chips, and Betty and Veronica make the most of the sunny weather by competing in a "best-dressed" contest.

"After Betty is revealed to be borrowing Cheryl Blossom's clothes to compete, she and Veronica have a fight and she tearfully runs off into the jungle where, let's say, she isn't alone," de Campi says.

Everybody does end up back in Riverdale, she adds, "as do those big trunks of clothes that Veronica brought. Trunks so big, you could hide a Predator in them. Her Vuitton will never quite smell the same again."

Pretty cool if you ask me. Hope it lives up to the Punisher and Archie crossover.

Wasn't Archie shot and killed a while ago?
Different timelines I'd imagine?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Can someone tell me what the people over at Archie have been taking these past couple of years and where I can get some?

Yup, different timeline.

Archie Comics basically just do whatever they want now it seems

Could have sworn there was an archie where they accidentally summoned cthullu and shit.

 

[Hot Coldman]

just get Sabrina to sort it out

she can turn him into a sofa

Still better than the AvP movies.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Yup, different timeline.

And it's working out marvelously for them.

Could have sworn there was an archie where they accidentally summoned cthullu and shit.

Not quite, but close.

Spoiler

Afterlife with Archie revealed that Sabrina's ultimate fate is the bride of Cthulhu.

Also, in this week's debut issue of Sabrina (which takes place in yet another timeline)

Spoiler

Betty and Veronica are amateur witches who summon a succubus and then things go awry.

Sounds like every comic ever basically.
That's cool though. Seems weird that they have all this crazy stuff next to what seems like a run of the mill suburban town.

Unusual crossover there. The Predator drawing is hilarious though.

 

[lazygecko]

Archie meets Wolverine was hinted at in the Punisher crossover so I guess this is as close as we're going to get.

 

[Htown]

so how does the rock-paper-scissors thing work on this one?

The Punisher beats Predator who beats Archie who beats the Punisher?

 

[Rest]

The most surprising thing about this to me is that Archie has a last name. I had no idea.

 

[The Real Abed]

Wait. They killed off Archie. But now it's just another timeline? Timeline? In Archie? Predator? What?

STAY OUT OF RIVERDALE!
