Publisher's Summary[]
#1: Betty, Veronica, and Predator-Archie have been left in the wreckage of their town, all their friends dead. Normally, they'd just go down Memory Lane and get home again where everything's okay, but that's no longer an option. It isn't until they find an undamaged car and drive it down a different road where they can finally return to Riverdale — but their hometown feels different. And it's made even more bizarre when they come face-to-face with a few people they'd never expect: themselves. Only different, newer versions. Little do they know, Predators on Mars are watching them — planning their next attack.
#2: Our trios (new and old) are getting to know each other better — like Classic Betty and Veronica discovering that the newer versions of themselves actually AREN'T both trying to win over Archie's affections. There's a lot to take in in this brave, new world, but they've got a more pressing issue to deal with: Predator-Archie is quickly turning back into a Predator, and time is running out. Fortunately, the Riverdale Halloween Dance may be just the cover the gang(s) need.
#3: Riverdale High is on lockdown while a group of new Predators and Predadogs menace the halls during the Halloween Dance. They're on the search for Archie-Predator and they don't care who stands in their way. It's up to Archie and his pals (both new and old) to stand up to this terrifying threat — but do they have what it takes?
#4: Riverdale finds itself under an unexpected new leader as the New Predators wreak havoc on everything and everyone that comes across their paths.
#5: Classic Betty and Veronica have enlisted the help of an unexpected friend to combat against the Predator war raging inside the halls of Riverdale High, while new-Riverdale Betty and Jughead are traveling far, far away to fight the good fight right at its source in the conclusion to this epic crossover event!
