The Army of Darkness Invades Riverdale in Upcoming Series

As part of a new multi-title deal for a slate of blockbuster pop culture collaborations, Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics are going straight to Hell with a cataclysmic crossover between two of their biggest franchises: Archie and the Army of Darkness!

The idyllic town of Riverdale has faced all manner of unexpected guests and multiversal threats, but never quite like this. In the forthcoming comic book series, Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the gang will battle the source of all evil as the Army of Darkness and the Necronomicon lay siege to the Town with Pep. Lucky for them, the one and only Ash Williams, equipped with his trademark wit and boomstick, is along for the ride as they beat back the monstrous hordes . . . or die trying.

“Ash Williams has seen it all: demonic forces, time travel, monstrous doppelgängers. But Ash might be in for his toughest battle yet: fighting a horde of deadites alongside a group of teenagers!” said Archie Comics Senior Director of Editorial Jamie L. Rotante. “Thankfully, Archie and his friends are no strangers to the undead. And we couldn’t be more excited for everyone to see what madness will ensue when these two horror icons collide!"

“It’s always a blast to collaborate with other titans of the industry,” said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “We’re excited to be back in business with Archie and the whole Riverdale crew, cooking up some exciting stories and more for fans. Leading off with the franchise that started it all for us at Dynamite was the perfect choice."

The first Archie/Dynamite collaboration was the tongue-in-cheek team-up of some of comicdom's most influential women in RED SONJA AND VAMPIRELLA MEET BETTY AND VERONICA. Available now in two trade paperback volumes, the story offers fans a fun link to Amy Chu's preceding Red Sonja run, gorgeous artwork by Maria Laura Sanapo, a thrilling interdimensional epic, unforgettable interactions between the mismatched icons, and memorable cover gags. The success of this historic clash of characters set the stage for the new slate, with more details to be announced.
