Our trios (new and old) are getting to know each other better—like Classic Betty and Veronica discovering that the newer versions of themselves actually AREN’T both trying to win over Archie’s affections. There’s a lot to take in in this brave, new world, but they’ve got a more pressing issue to deal with: Predator-Archie is quickly turning back into a Predator, and time is running out. Fortunately, the Riverdale Halloween Dance may be just the cover the gang(s) need.

Review: Archie vs Predator 2 #1

Archie vs. Predator 2 #1

Archie vs Predator 2 #1 feels like it picks up directly from the first miniseries which ran back in 2015. The time-lapse between the two doesn’t help. The first issue leaves you in the lurch with what happened and what the surviving characters are talking about.

Written by Alex de Campi, who wrote the original crossover, the first issue’s an interesting set up. It unfortunately relies a bit too much on the first volume. The previous volume had the Predator being changed into an Archie lookalike. Without that knowledge, the jokes are a bit over a new reader’s head and the story itself a little confusing. Then there’s discussion about it being a story and being “canceled.” It all feels meta and a bit too insider. There’s something there but it feels like a continuation of what happened previously. That’s opposed to a new volume anyone can pick up and read.

Still, de Campi leaves the issue in a particularly interesting spot in with an ending that has me intrigued as to where this volume is going. Unfortunately what’s presented will be more interesting to those who have read the previous volume.

The art by Robert Hack is a draw mixing in Archie’s classic look with death and destruction. What stands out is the Predator/Archie and the amount of “physical” humor presented. The lack of verbal communication forces Predator/Archie to rely on symbols (props to letterer Jack Morelli) and physical movement to get the point across. Kelly Fitzpatrick‘s color to mixes in the classic Archie feel with a more gritty world.

Archie vs Predator 2 #1 is an interesting continuation of the first go-around but too many references to what happened without enough explanation hamper the enjoyment for new readers. Still, the ending of the first issue indicates that may not be as much of a problem in future issues, it’s just a question if you can get through this first one.

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this Wednesday.

Archie vs. Predator 2 #1 (Archie) – A sequel to the crazy classic crossover. Archie has always been fun when they crossover with these crazy ideas.

Ascender #4 (Image Comics) – One of the most visually amazing comics on the market right now. The art is amazing and add on top a story exploring magic and technology it’s a series that’s not to be missed.

Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1 (DC Comics) – A sequel to Sean Gordon Murphy’s popular first volume that had the Joker going “legit” and a new twist on Harley Quinn. Guaranteed great visuals.

The Flash #75 (DC Comics) – It’s the finale to “Year One” and while we were skeptical at first about the storyline, it has been beyond fantastic.

Grumble #8 (Albatross Funnybooks) – Eddie has found a way to be human again but the cure is lodged inside Jimmy the Keeper. One of the most fun and entertaining comics on the market.

House of X #1 (Marvel) – We’ve been waiting to see what writer Jonathan Hickman is going to bring as he reshapes the X Universe. It all begins here in this intriguing first issue.

Marvels Epilogue #1 (Marvel) – A standalone epilogue to the Marvels graphic novel that follows up on the X-Men and interesting extra material that gives a look behind the scenes.

Valkyrie: Jane Foster #1 (Marvel) – Spinning out of War of the Realms, Jane Foster has a new role and we’re intrigued to see exactly where this all goes.

Web of Venom: Funeral Pyre #1 (Marvel) – The latest entry in the build up the Absolute Carnage which looks like it’s going to be absolutely brutal.

Wonder Woman #75 (DC Comics) – Wonder Woman returns to Themyscira and things are not the same. It’s no longer the paradise she remembers as a major figure of the mythos returns.

Betty, Veronica, and Predator-Archie have been left in the wreckage of their town, all their friends dead. Normally, they’d just go down Memory Lane and get home again where everything’s okay, but that’s no longer an option. It isn’t until they find an undamaged car and drive it down a different road where they can finally return to Riverdale—but their hometown feels different. And it’s made even more bizarre when they come face-to-face with a few people they’d never expect: themselves. Only different, newer versions. Little do they know, Predators on Mars are watching them—planning their next attack.
