(You may remember that this concept originated as a variant cover to Life With Archie issue # 23 by Francesco Francavilla). Here’s the details via Comic Book Resources:
AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE will provide readers with zombie-filled mayhem like only Archie can, taking the Riverdale gang where they’ve never been before – to the grave and back.
In addition to his Archie credits, Aguirre-Sacasa has made a name for himself in the world of television (writer/producer on GLEE), Broadway musicals (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), and movies, penning the remake of Stephen King’s Carrie, which premieres this fall.
“Roberto’s a superstar writer,” said Archie Co-CEO Jon Goldwater. “Working with him on the upcoming AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE is the next step in the ever expanding Archie universe.”
“AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE combines two of my great passions: Archie comics and horror comics,” said Aguirre-Sacasa. “This series came out of conversations with Jon [Goldwater], asking questions like, ‘what if the Archie characters found themselves in a Stephen King novel like The Stand or a Sam Raimi movie like The Evil Dead?’ Could we pull that off, tonally? We’re really going for it. The first arc is called ‘Escape from Riverdale.’ The second arc is called, brace yourself, ‘Betty RIP.’ Of course, all the horror stuff will be balanced by elements that are quintessentially Archie.”
So there you have it.
Now I am pretty much the biggest Archie dork you’re ever likely to meet and while I have zero interest in Aguirre-Sacasa’s Archie/Glee crossover, I am hugely excited about this new series for a few reasons. First and foremost, the mashing up of horror and Archie is a brilliant idea (as fans of the short-lived Chilling Adventures in Sorcery as Told by Sabrina will be quick to point out).Secondly, before he began working for Archie, Aguirre-Sacasa wrote the controversial play Archie’s Weird Fantasy, so he knows how to lovingly spoof the characters. This one came completely out of the blue, but you can bet you’ll hear much more from me about this as its release approaches.
