Building My Own Trade #11

Archie vs Predator II #1-5 (Archie Comics)
By: Alex de Campi, Robert Hack, Kelly Fitzpatrick

I put this book on my pull list way back in September, because I wanted to know what the Predator would do in Riverdale....Again....

This is a doom and gloom Riverdale, which is what I assume the series looks like, so seeing dark Riverdale is hilariously refreshing.  But book 1 begins with our heroes fleeing a destroyed Riverdale to arrive in......Riverdale....And the Predators arrive when someone wants to turn an old e-bay based predator mask into a daft punk helmet (cool).  What ensues throughout the remaining books is a lot of blood, gore, and predators who speak in Emojis.  At some point, there is a summoning of what appears to be the devil (in 4-5).  It is great watching the citizens of Riverdale experience the multiverse, it is entertaining in watching some predator-on-predator violence, and it has intrigued me enough to explore the goings on of dark/sad Riverdale, and not cheery "Archie meets the B-52s" Riverdale.

What should you do?​ Look, if you want a campy Predator story, or some odd emoji speak, go for it!  I don't know if I'll ever pull this out of my box again to read, but it was fun to take the ride.
