When Archie and his friends take a [[spring break]] trip to Los Perdidos Resort, an alien, trophy-hunting [[Predator (alien)|Predator]] touches down in the nearby jungle.

The creature's picture is taken by Betty. [[Kevin Keller (comics)|Kevin Keller's]] father, a US Military General, identifies it as a teenager from a race of nearly unstoppable alien hunters.

Some members of the group decide to split up in hopes the Predator will continue to pursue Veronica, allowing them to escape, while Archie, Betty, Jughead and [[Dilton Doiley|Dilton]] stay with Veronica.

When the Predator attacks, Archie is killed and Veronica and Betty are critically wounded, which causes the Predator to show regret since it was motivated by a crush on Betty.

In the hopes of reversing the massacre on their friends, Betty and Veronica take the polymorphed Predator to Memory Lane in order to alter the past, only to find it converted into a construction site. Despondent, the two girls and the Predator leave Riverdale, only to find themselves back in Riverdale in an alternate universe, where their friends are still alive and about to go to a Halloween party. Dilton, costumed as a Predator, announces that he has found a way of tapping into alternate realities; but as he activates the device in his helmet, a host of Predators intercept its signal and trace it to Earth.<ref name="Archievs.PredatorII#1">{{cite comic|title=Archie vs. Predator II|issue=1|story=Part 1|publisher=Dark Horse Comics, Archie Comics|writer=de Campi, Alex|artist=Hack, Robert|date=June 2015}}</ref>
