Archie vs. Predator #1 Review Roundup

04/15/2015 9:07am
“It'll be interesting to see just how far de Campi's script dials up the violence, how long the characters remain ignorant to the fact that the Predator is among them and how well these elements continue to be integrated in "Archie-style" by Ruiz but so far, so good.” -Adventures In Poor Taste
"So whether Archie and Jughead end up smeared in mud battling their alien assailant to the death, or with their skulls and spinal columns hanging on a trophy room wall somewhere, you can most definitely count me in for the rest of this story which is a sentence I honestly never thought Id write in a comic review.” -Big Comic Page
"Should you buy this issue and series? Absolutely. Tell your friends, buy one for a random stranger. Give a copy to your kids and prepare for the questions. This issue was everything it should have been and everything I wanted.” -Comic Bastards
"Archie Vs. Predator" #1 takes a huge risk and it pays off incredibly well, resulting in a satisfying teen comedy horror story. Fans and rubberneckers alike will find something to enjoy in these pages. Here's hoping that this only leads to more weird collaborations between these two publishers.” -Comic Book Resources
"The end result is going to be something unsettling, and unlike anything currently being published, but we only get a glimpse at what that will be here. Now that the pieces are in place, there's no reason to think that the rest of the series isn't going to be absolutely insane, and that's a good thing.” -Comicosity 
"In an ARCHIE comic, this could easily have been tacky; instead, it's pretty awesome.” -ComicWow!
" this one could be a classic.” -Den of Geek
"Kudos to Ruiz and De Campi for creating something that two wholly different fanbases can really enjoy. I cannot wait for the second issue and eventually the rest of the series as a whole.” -Entertainment Fuse
"what better way to spend the warm spring and summer days than seeing Predator decapitate the Archie gang.” -Geeks With Wives
"Archie vs. Predator #1 is a fun teenage scary movie captured in comics form. The pages conjure the feeling of being at a drive-in on an August night. With crisp and cartoony artwork and a fast-paced script that successfully merges the elements from the worlds of both Archie and Predator, this unlikely matching is worth checking out for casual fans of either franchise.” -Kabooooom
"If you are looking for another foray into horror featuring your favorite (and not so favorite) characters from Riverdale, Archie vs. Predator is a book you'll want to pick up.” -Major Spoilers
"De Campi and Ruiz have crafted a comic that balances the violence of Predator with the wholesomeness of Archie.” -Multiversity
"The script is sharp, the artwork is the genuine Archie article, and it features one of sci-fi's favorite killing machines; I am hard-pressed to find a better way to sell it. Archie vs. Predator #1 has no place on grocery store shelves, but it has certainly earned a place in your pull list.” -Newsarama
"it proves to be a weirdly entertaining crossover, that I look forward to reading more of.” -Unleash the FanboyAmerica’s favorite teen meets the galaxy’s fiercest hunter! Archie and friends hit Costa Rica for Spring Break, where party games and beach games are soon replaced by the Most Dangerous Game! What mysterious attraction does the gang hold for the trophy-collecting Predator, and will the kids even realize they’re in danger before it claims them all?
