Ruiz experimented with drawing the whole series in a more realistic manner, but from the beginning, the plan was to use the traditional Archie design style for the book, which Archie veteran [[Dan DeCarlo]] popularized in the classic comics since the 1960s.<ref name="CA int"/><ref name="HCafter"/><ref name=ddc>{{cite web | url = http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=688 | title = Dan DeCarlo Dead at Age of 82: Artist Defined Archie Comics Style for Decades | publisher= [[Comic Book Resources]] | date= December 20, 2001 | access-date = March 19, 2013 | archive-date = October 10, 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121010073114/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=688 | url-status = live}}</ref> The editorial team felt this would make the story feel more "bizarre and unsettling". Although most modern comic art is created using digital tools and scans to accelerate the creation process, the art team for ''Archie vs. Predator'' chose to use traditional methods and used [[FedEx]] to get the physical copy of each page to the person who would complete the next step in the process.<ref name="HCafter"/>
Archie Comics and Dark Horse Comics jointly announced ''Archie vs. Predator'' and its creative team at the 2014 [[New York Comic Con]].<ref name="announcement"/> Soon after, many media outlets carrying the news used a headline indicating the bizarre announcement was not a joke.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.newsarama.com/22349-archie-vs-predator-no-really.html |title= Archie vs. Predator ...
