Bizarre Mash-Up Somehow Pays Off.
Archie Vs Predator exists somewhere between the never-changing Archie house style and the dark, EC-reminiscent horror of the Afterlife With Archie series. It's drawn in the same cheerful, simple artwork that long-time fans of Archie know and love, but it's also blood-spattered and grotesque. And, somehow, that works. A note on the character design sketches included as bonus material says that the cuter they made the Predator's design, the more horrifying it became – and that pays off big-time by the end of the book. Archie Vs Predator is funny, violent, and disturbing, and works much better than such an idea should.
