After the successful addition of Kevin Keller in 2010, Archie Comics began looking at ways to expand their audience and perhaps modernize their image for the 21st Century.Hey, they thought, those zombie movies seem to be pretty popular nowadays...It's a dark and stormy night in Riverdale, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch is disturbed from her sleep by her friend Jughead Jones, whose beloved pet dog was struck by a car. Though her Aunts try their best, there's nothing to be done — Hot Dog is long dead. However, Sabrina is moved by Jughead's plight and they plot a way to bring him back. Naturally, the spell goes awry, and Jughead becomes the Patient Zero for a full-blown Zombie Apocalypse right in the heart of Riverdale. And that's just the beginning...Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and drawn by Francesco Francavilla, the result is a full-fledged horror series featuring the sprawling cast of the Archie series. Darker and Edgier is the flavor of the day, with bold, impressionistic coloring and a helping of Nothing Is Scarier (it is still Archie, after all; they've got to get by with the equivalent of a PG-13 rating). It's Archie Comics' first foray into the Direct Market (they typically target supermarkets and newsstands), and the initial printing of Issue #1 sold out. Twice. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: The first issue alone kills off Jughead, Archie's best friend. After becoming infected, Jughead proceeds to attack and infect his parents, Mr. Weatherbee, and Ms. Grundy. In the second issue, Jughead murders Big Ethel in front of the entire school before finally being contained. In the third issue, Midge is revealed to be infected and later infects Moose. In the fourth issue, Vegas fends off Hot Dog to protect Archie and becomes infected. In the fifth issue, Betty's parents and Coach Kleats have become zombies as well. In the seventh issue, Jason is either killed by a zombie or by his own sister. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
As expected from a Darker and Edgier Zombie Apocalypse adaptation of a series famous for being quite family friendly. Hot Dog, Jughead, Ethel, Moose, almost all the major adults, Midge, Vegas, Sugar (Cheryl's Pomeranian), and Jason are offed during the main story. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: Averted! There are discernible differences between Betty and Veronica (Betty is a bit taller, bustier, and less slender than Veronica), Cheryl Blossom (petite and curvy), Ginger and Nancy (who have two very different facial structures), and Ethel Muggs (who is no longer a total Gonk, but keeps her buck teeth). It's worth pointing out because the traditional series is notorious for this. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: After leaving the group as penance for being responsible for the whole mess in a moment of thoughtless malice, Reggie encounters the zombies and offers himself as atonement. Instead, Sabrina, now one of the Old Ones, tells him he can become a hero and have Midge alive and all to himself, for the price of killing the heart and hope of the survivors: Archie's fiancé, Betty. Despite the fact that there is no reason to believe them, Reggie quickly turns his back on repentance and accepts the offer. | |

Traditionally Betty and Archie are Childhood Friends while Veronica moved to Riverdale later (usually in high school). Here, Veronica and Betty were "friends" until Archie moved into Riverdale during middle school. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Quite a bit of it. Reggie's prankish behavior and self-centeredness are elevated into explicit sociopathy. He instigates the entire plot by swerving deliberately to hit Jughead's dog in a fit of rage over getting beaten by Moose, then agrees to kill Betty and doom the survivors for the chance to have Midge resurrected as his lover. Cheryl, sort of. She's always a spoiled rotten kid in the comics, but here, she might have murdered her own brother. This suspicion almost led to her being kicked out of the group, with Archie breaking a split decision. Alexandra Cabot. While she isn't the nicest person in the comics, this version of her runs an Orphanage of Fear that houses the Pussycats and Pepper Smith while extorting them for their singing talent. She still appears to care for them to a degree, as she cautions Pepper against a disastrous marriage. Sabrina's aunts and the people of Riverdale entered a pact whereby they sacrificed some of the children of the town to Cthulhu in order to protect the community from outside threats. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The entire series seems to have been inspired by a Gag Cover version of one of the Life With Archie covers by Francesco Francavilla. In issue six, Sabrina gives her last name as "Sawyer", her surname from the 1996 TV movie, as an alias. Cheryl changes her name to "Blaze" in issue 7. That's the name used by her counterpart in the bizarre Elseworld Archie series "Explorers of the Unknown". Jellybean Jones and Polly Cooper are subjected to Death by Adaptation, most likely taken by the Spellman sisters as part of a Human Sacrifice ritual. This is probably a reference to the fact that a lot of modern writers tend to forget these characters exist. Pepper of the Pussycats gets almost the same treatment, with some slight differences as to her actual fate. | |

Broad Strokes: While the series is very much set in an Alternate Universe, many character beats and tics are derived from the Archie-Verse proper and it can be argued that at the very least recent stories involving introductions (like the Arc introducing Kevin Keller) did happen as in normal continuity. | |

The Unreveal: Cheryl tells the other female characters (and only the female characters) the truth about her and Jason. Archie (and, by extension, the reader) doesn't know what she actually said, only that it was so bad that it came close to driving Betty over the Despair Event Horizon. Although she does mention that she doesn't think she can handle the jokes the male characters, especially Reggie, would thrown at her. | |

Spirit Advisor: In issue #8, Archie finds himself talking with an apparition of Jughead Jones, as he was before he became a zombie. Archie wonders if he's losing his mind, but we later see Jughead's ghost conversing with the spirit of Jellybean, with Archie not seeming to notice them. This suggests that the earlier conversation was Real After All. | |

| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_66dfe36a | comment |
Missing Mom: Veronica's mother Hermione died sometime before the events of the comic. It's implied to have happened recently, as Hiram Lodge has a nightmare where she shows up as a zombie and both his daughter and Betty have a sober conversation about how they both miss her. Averted with Mrs. Andrews in issue 4. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_72ce3f54 | comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the main comics, Betty and Veronica are typically best friends. This comic reverts them back to their earlier relationship where they were enemies. Veronica and Jughead bicker in the main comics, however it's mostly lighthearted. Here, Jughead hates Veronica. Traditionally Betty and Archie are Childhood Friends while Veronica moved to Riverdale later (usually in high school). Here, Veronica and Betty were "friends" until Archie moved into Riverdale during middle school. | |

Raising the Steaks: While Jughead is the first Zombie Infectee, his pet dog is the one who gave him that fateful bite. It remains to be seen if Hot Dog is the only animal to become zombified. It turns out animals can be turned, as Vegas gives his life to protect Archie from an infected Hot Dog... and then later shows up infected himself at Jughead's side during the siege of Lodge Manor. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: So, you've got infidelity played for laughs in the Archieverse? Here Betty and Veronica hate each other because of it. Everyone (except for Reggie) easily accepting Kevin's sexuality. Nancy is convinced she and Ginger wouldn't be as accepted as a well-off white boy. Sabrina ignoring her aunts' warnings and using her magic however she pleases. Normally there's no lasting consequences and she simply gets a minor punishment if any at all. Here it causes a Zombie Apocalypse and her Aunts respond by turning into horrific monsters and banish her to purgatory while taking her mouth away so she couldn't plead with them. Moreover, it's revealed that her reckless use of magic summons Cthulhu. Jughead's hatred of Veronica is normally a simple case of Snark-to-Snark Combat between the two. Here, Zombie!Jughead nearly murders her due to his lingering feelings of hatred towards her. | |

The infected seem to be a blend of Flesh-Eating Zombie and Revenant Zombie, which gives Veronica a nasty surprise when Jughead looks her in the eye just after he's eaten Big Ethel. Somehow, he remembers that he and Veronica hate each other... and then immediately lunges for her. If not for Archie's intervention, he would have likely killed her. | |

Another point for Revenant Zombie - Jughead escapes his captivity from the Riverdale High School gym and leads the zombified populace towards Lodge Manor with a Slasher Smile on his face. Interestingly, the comic also seems to show that the same person can become both a ghost and a zombie at the same time, as happens to Jughead, suggesting that a person's spirit doesn't remain in their body after they become a zombie. | |

| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: A lot of the characters are a lot more mean spirited than in the original comics: Reggie insults Kevin by calling him a 'perv' just for trying to help him Ginger seems to outright hate Chuck, which is somewhat justified considering she and Nancy are dating in secret. Veronica and Polly are much more of a jerk in their interaction with Betty. The worst of it might just be Jason Blossom, with it being heavily implied and all but outright stated that he sexually abuses his twin sister Cheryl, and murdered her pet dog just because she liked it better than him. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The witches of Greendale or Cthulhu itself, depending on your interpretation. The witches promised the town Riverdale will always be protected by "the elder gods, the lords of Carcosa" in exchange for three children from each generation of the founding family. And it was... until the fact Riverdale is the beginning of the zombie apocalypse outbreak through a spell related to awakening Cthulhu sinks in. | |

Except as the end of issue 10 reveals, when they 'miss the hunt,' they're not averse to snacking on some poor sucker as 'room service.' This crosses into Noble Demon given that they are trying to stop the man who bit Josie Henry Irving from killing more people and have helped kill Ku Klux Klan members and Axis soldiers. | |

| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Most of the characters who aren't infected: Archie goes from a clumsy goof to a capable fighter who stops Jughead from killing Veronica, saves his mother from his zombified father and comes up with the plan that gets the group out of Lodge Manor. Kevin cold-clocks Reggie after the latter throws a homophobic insult his way just for trying to help him and with Ginger's help takes out Coach Kleats. Nancy and Ginger. In addition to Ginger's team up with Kevin noted above, the two of them burn the Choclit Shoppe down to destroy the zombies inside and manage to make it to the mansion together. A dark example with Jughead's zombification. He goes from the comic relief to a horrifying, super-fast murder machine and leader of the undead hordes of Riverdale. | |

Ascended Extra: Smithers, the Lodges' butler, who gets A Day in the Limelight narrating the fifth issue and backs Archie up on escaping Lodge Manor before the zombies overrun them. Ginger, a rarely used side character, and Nancy, who has few appearances without her boyfriend Chuck, get quite a few scenes on their own before they join the main group. They're also secretly a couple. Betty's obscure sister, Polly, gets a fair amount of screen time in flashbacks. In a way, Sabrina and her family. In previous Archie titles they usually play the role of guest spot appearance and one-shot stories that doesn't have any impact due to Status Quo Is God. Here, at least three Spellmans played key roles in shaping Riverdale, for better or worse: Sabrina instigated the zombie apocalypse while two of her ancestors protect the town from falling apart during World War II by demanding a child to sacrifice from the three founding families (the Jones, the Andrews and the Coopers) for the next three generations. | |

Town with a Dark Secret | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_b02f996a | comment |
Town with a Dark Secret: Turns out bubbly, cheerful, always-sunny Riverdale had a grim secret even before the Zombie Apocalypse hit: The three original founding families, to save Riverdale from collapsing during WWII, made a deal with the witches of Greendale (who are drawn to resemble Sabrina's aunts when they were younger) to protect the town and everyone in it...in exchange for a child from each of the founding families, over the next three generations. | |

Demoted to Extra: Alexandra Cabot and Pepper Smith in the Josie and the Pussycats storylines. Notable that they both did not become immortal vampires like Josie, Valerie and Melody. | |

Came Back Wrong | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_b983a56b | comment |
Came Back Wrong: A given in Zombie Fiction, but special consideration must be given to Hot Dog. His personality completely flips from a dumb, loveable mutt to vicious Hell Hound, and his first act upon returning to life is to give Jughead a nasty bite... inadvertently turning him into Patient Zero of Riverdale's zombie outbreak. This is expanded slightly when Vegas, Archie's dog, becomes a zombie - as his thoughts previously were about saving Archie, and then become "KILL! MAIM! EAT! FOOD!" | |

Mirror Character | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Hiram Lodge and Archie Andrews. Their character arcs are paralleled as both fail to save people under their care and hit Heroic BSoD moments at nearly the same time. Much like in the traditional comics, the elder Lodge seems to dislike Archie precisely because they are so much alike. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: In the first three issues, it seemed like there were ways to kill off the zombies—Ethel was beaten until she stopped moving, and Ginger and Nancy torched the Chocolate Shop to take down Mr. Jones and Pop Tate. At the end of issue 4, though, we see that both Ethel and Pop are still very much undead, indicating that virtually none of the methods for killing zombies actually worked. It remains to be seen if Mr. Andrews is actually defeated or not. | |

Ghostly Goals | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_c5835f29 | comment |
Ghostly Goals: It turns out that the spirit of every zombie-infected victim is haunting Riverdale separate from their zombiefied bodies; Jughead has become something of a Nonhuman Sidekick this way. Where this revelation will lead is anyone's guess. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: Archie Comics was one of the key instigators of the original Comics Code, which they dropped mere months before the debut of this direct market title, which has almost everything the original Code forbade. It's not exactly subtle. Especially noted by how bloodier and gorier this series is, a first for Archie Comics. The sexual undertones adds to the proverbial middle finger to the now-defunct Comics Code Authority. | |

Power Trio | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_ca85e684 | comment |
Valerie and Melody. They're the Power Trio in the regular comics, with sassy, level-headed Valerie and ditzy sweetheart Melody providing foils to strengthen Josie's personality. In this story they get few lines and are all but interchangeable. Valerie is used more for her race to provide conflict in their backstory (and the conflict is through Josie's eyes and not hers), and is mostly a timid, meek girl who needs her white friend to protect her and give her the strength to fight back. Melody could provide an interesting character (a sweet, scatterbrained vampire?), but hardly does anything except follow Josie's lead. | |

Nightmare Face | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_cf48c17 | comment |
Nightmare Face: Jughead's blood-covered mouth and mismatched eyes are pretty gruesome, but the desiccated, ghoulish faces of Sabrina's Aunts as they banish her to Purgatory is the stuff of nightmares. | |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: "Holy spit, his costume's awesome!" Even with the abolishing of The Comics Code, they still can't curse in the Archie universe. Archie does manage a Precision ''H'' Strike, as seen below. Subsequent issues begin removing the bowldlerization. | |

Satellite Character | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_e7cb46d3 | comment |
Satellite Character: Chuck Clayton. One of Archie's best friends, athlete, artist and all-around cool guy. In this story, his entire role is that he's secretly being cuckolded by his girlfriend with another girl, and that's it. And the reader is expected to sympathize with the girls and see Chuck as insensitive over something kept secret from him. Valerie and Melody. They're the Power Trio in the regular comics, with sassy, level-headed Valerie and ditzy sweetheart Melody providing foils to strengthen Josie's personality. In this story they get few lines and are all but interchangeable. Valerie is used more for her race to provide conflict in their backstory (and the conflict is through Josie's eyes and not hers), and is mostly a timid, meek girl who needs her white friend to protect her and give her the strength to fight back.

Screw the War, We're Partying | |
| Afterlife with Archie (Comic Book) / int_e9f79e23 | comment |
Screw the War, We're Partying: Or... Screw The Zombie Apocalypse, We're Partying. Veronica's reaction to the end of the world is to throw a pool party at her house with the survivors of the school dance, though she confides in Betty that the only reason she's having the party is because she would be crying and terrified if she didn't. Things don't go well when it turns out Midge was infected and in turn infected Moose. Betty goes through a minor version of this just beforehand, wanting to hole up in the library and read through Ronnie's enormous collection. | |
