But for now, yes, it's true — the most-read story during[...]

Heard at the Archie Comics booth at San Diego Comic Con. At the end of Life Of Archie #36, Archie Andrews is killed, shot by a bullet from a handgun. And yet the intended victim Kevin Keller, a veteran soldier trained in dealing with combat wounds doesn't attend to them. Neither does Kevin's husband, a registered medical professional. Archie[...]

You know, I really thought Archie Comics had run out of ways to surprise me with their comics Especially after getting responses in the local press such as this. Bless them. So I'm not sure what they'd make of Sabrina The Teenage Witch in today's Afterlife With Archie, after setting off a zombie apocalypse by using the[...]

Archie Comics had told us that Archie would die in the out-of-continuity-such-as-there-is Life Of Archie comic, that looks at a number of future and what if scenarios for the familiar characters, often taking a route down more serious issues of life, death and romance.

Archie Comics have had a number of attempts to revive and republish the Red Circle line of superhero comic books with less than stellar results Beginning with the Shield created in 1939 for Pep Comics, The Black Hood and The Wizard, were relaunched in the sixties following DC Comics superhero revival, introducing The Fly and[...]

The current Afterlife With Archie comic began with Sabrina The Teenage Witch bringing Jughead's dog back from the dead with the Necronomicon and, inadvertently, unleashing the undead upon Riverdale with horrific consequences, death and destruction across the town.
