Coming off the heels of Archie Meets Glee, writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is ready to tackle his next big Archie project — and it’s sure to shock the life out of you! Aguirre-Sacasa’s next project with Archie Comics will be Afterlife With Archie, a zombie series revolving around the beloved characters.

The comic will blend attributes of horror comics along with the typical Archie fare, for both new and old fans to enjoy.

Announcing the new ongoing series, Rik Offenberger writes “Escape From Riverdale” — This is how the end of the world begins… Harvey Award-winning writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Carrie, Archie meets Glee) and Eisner-winning artist Francesco Francavilla (Batman, Black Beetle) take Archie and the gang where they’ve never been before — to the grave and back! A horrific accident sets off a series of grim events and Sabrina the Teenage Witch must try to repair the unspeakable evil her spell has unleashed. Gasp in horror as Riverdale faces an impending zombie Arch-pocalypse in this brand-new, spine-tingling ongoing series — but be warned, kiddies, this one’s not for the faint of heart! For TEEN+ readers.”
