In February, Archie Comics are launching Black Hood. I am told that the title will veer into Marvel MAX and Vertigo territory, more so than Afterlife With Archie.

Our hero is a drug addict hopped on pills and someone gets  shotgun to the face in the first issue. So, no, these are not your Grandfather's Red Circle Comics.

Other titles will see The Fox go to a new dangerous mania and The Shield is expected to appeal to a Tumblr audience. The approach is to bring in writers and creators who can bring in an audience from outside comics using novelists like Duane Swierczynski, Chuck Wendig and Adam Christopher.

But it all begins with The Black Hood. Here are the covers for the first issue…
