It was originally published as a four-issue [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] in the United States by [[Dark Horse Comics]] and [[Archie Comics]] in 2015. The single issues were released between April and July,
Following in a long tradition of all-American teenager [[Archie Andrews]] meeting unusual celebrities and pop culture icons, this comic book shows him meeting the galaxy's deadliest hunter, the [[Predator (alien)|Predator]]. The idea was first suggested in the Archie office and then proposed to Dark Horse, who holds the license to comics featuring the Predator character owned by [[20th Century Fox]]. The companies paired de Campi, a horror writer at Dark Horse, with Ruiz, a regular ''Archie'' artist. When the comic book was announced, many media outlets noted in their headlines that the new title was not a joke.
