Get a first look at Archie in Hell #2, arriving this December from Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook

Posted on by Leave a comment

Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications, Inc.have revealed a first look inside Archie in Hell #2, the next shocking chapter of Oni Press’ monumental new line of star-studded Archie Comics series. The year’s red-hot horror hit from superstar creators Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook lands this December, just in time for the 85th anniversary of America’s favorite teen icon!

Torn from the world he once knew and thrown back to a dark reflection of the year 1690, Archie Andrews has taken cover as “Archibald” Andrews—a humble inhabitant of the bleak and zealous Puritan community called Riverdale. And he’s not the only one on edge . . . Strange and unearthly occurrences plague this small countryside hovel, and, as the search for the collaborators of the devil’s business begins, Archie won’t be able to hide for long— especially not with that flaming red hair! But when strange echoes of his best friends from the modern day—Elizabeth “Betty” Cooper, Berenice “Veronica” Lodge, and Forsythe “Jughead” Jones—begin to emerge, Archie will quickly come to fear that while he may have been the demon A’ldarax’s first sacrifice, he may not be its last . . .

No one is safe . . . and the flames only rise higher . . . as America’s most iconic teenager locks horns with evil incarnate in Archie in Hell #2 featuring covers by series artist Tyler Crook as well as Dustin Weaver, Jonathan Case, Abigail Harding,​ Dan Parent, and Patricia Martín!

Archie in Hell #1 Enters The Demonic Circle with New “Pyre Satanic” Variant – Coming November 4th!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Oni Press has revealed the “Pyre Satanic” variant cover for Archie in Hell #1 beautifully illustrated by Chloe Brailsford – a startling new addition to the launch of the infernal new ongoing series from multiple Eisner Award nominee Patrick Horvath and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook debuting in stores on November 4th! 

The special, open-order variant cover matches the two other recently revealed “Pyre Satanic” covers by Brailsford, forming an unholy trinity with Archie #1 and Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1. FOC for the “Pyre Satanic” variant cover is on Final Order Cut-Off (FOC) on September 28th with an on-sale date of November 4th, alongside with all other previously announced covers for Archie in Hell #1.

They say that every small town has a secret. Well, in the case of Riverdale, it’s one heck of a humdinger: An ancient order of cultists has infiltrated its townspeople, bent on using human sacrifice to usher a demon lord into our mortal plane. And they’ve finally identified the final target they need to bring a century’s worth of planning to fruition: hometown football champion and all-around good guy Archie Andrews. But this secret cabal never dreamed that actual witches walk Riverdale’s streets . . . and when cult and coven clash in the final stages of Archie’s secret-ritual sacrifice, the consequences will be cosmic . . . and young Archie Andrews will find himself damned to something far worse than Hell’s inner circle. 

Unstuck from time and space. Bound to a terrible curse. Late for school. Things are about to go from bad to downright diabolical as Horvath and Crook unleash the most malevolently merciless Archie Comics tale ever told . . . and, truly, you’ll never, ever expect what happens next.

Check out the new cover along with a preview of Archie in Hell #1!
