Ratings and reviews

If you ever seen an "Archie" comic before, you know its a little bit "white bread". Not anymore! This is an interesting twist on Archie's story. If you are sick of zombies then you need not apply. But if you like seeing Archie's friends and family turned into zombies then this is for you!

Loved every bit of this take on the classic Archie comics. All your favorites are here, and they're put in one crazy situation. Would recommend to anyone who loves horror or just wants to try something new.

As a fan of the original Archie series, I was beyond excited to see something new, but this was so much more than I expected. The story was well written and flowed perfectly, bringing the much loved characters of the series into the modern day, but with an edge. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. The perfect world of Riverdale meets the Walking Dead...brilliant and so well done!
