Afterlife with Archie, Vol. 1: Escape from Riverdale by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Francesco Francavilla, Jack Morelli
4.5

The zombie apocalypse kicks off at a high school dance after an unfortunate accident with hot-dog, and a wayward spell from Sabrina.

The artwork did a brilliant job of evoking an errie classic horror feel to the story, remincisent of an old zombie movie. It was delightfully gory and you could feel the tension in the air as the characters fight for survival and wait for the hammer that's hanging over their heads to drop.
