For those who don't read comic books, Archie will still exist as a living teen in his ongoing comic book. And he will continue fighting zombies in AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE. But the adult versions of Archie featured in the split comic book title LIFE WITH ARCHIE will be killed off by some unknown menace.
I'm sure I will write more about this later, but I only have so much time during my lunch hour. Suffice it to say that I am deeply conflicted about this development. I absolutely love LIFE WITH ARCHIE. It is the title that got me back into reading Archie Comics comic books. But I also knew that it would be difficult to maintain this serialized comic book for too long.
Archie's death will occur in LIFE WITH ARCHIE #36 and Riverdale will react in issue #37.
