5. Afterlife With Archie

Jesus Christ, this comic is good. When we get it, I mean.

Afterlife with Archie is a serious, grim zombie comic about how the residents of Riverdale dealt with an unholy apocalypse right on their doorstep. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is an incredibly fun writer whose style and voice has become the spear-tip of The CW's Riverdale. He’s propelled that series into success. But if I'm picking the tone-setter for the mood of this book, it's gotta be Francesco Francavilla's haunting art, which sends a chill down your spine with every page.

Jughead's dog, Hot Dog, was struck by a car and killed. Distraught, Jughead went to Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and begged her to bring his pup back to life. She did just that, but it went horribly, HORRIBLY wrong. Eventually, we got to Jughead, King of the Zombies versus battle-ready Archie Andrews. Oh, and the Manson murderers were actually Vampires.

This book is Incredibly Good. I just wish we could get more of it.
