Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook Condemn Archie in Hell #1 – Coming in November! Get a First Look!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications, Inc. have revealed the first look inside the delightfully diabolical pages for Archie in Hell #1, an infernal new ongoing launching out of Oni Press’ monumental new line of star-studded Archie Comics series … just in time for the 85th anniversary of America’s teenage icon! 

This November, join multiple Eisner Award nominee Patrick Horvath and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook as they forge a brand-new legend of Archie horror, weaving a blood-stained trail from Riverdale’s dark colonial past to its all-too-sunny streets in the modern day!

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 Archie in Hell #1, the most malevolent and merciless Archie Comics tale ever told . . . and, truly, you’ll never ever expect what happens next!

Do you dare? Archie in Hell #1 will pull no punches when sends America’s number-one teenager six feet under in November with a ghoulishly gruesome line-up of covers from series co-creators Tyler Crook and Patrick Horvath, alongside Paul Azaceta, Jesse Lonergan, Kano, Dan Parent, Mirka Andolfo, and Mahmud Asrar!

SDCC 2026: The Terminator Sets Its Sights on Riverdale High!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Riverdale better watch out, because all manner of chaos is about to kick off when a teenage John Connor enrolls at the local high school, as Dynamite Entertainment, Archie Comics, and Studiocanal present Archie vs. The Terminator starting this fall as a new 5-issue comic book miniseries!

The crossover no one saw coming is here! Archie and the gang have crossed paths with so many icons over their 85 years of history, while The Terminator has set its sights on all manner of victims. This fun-filled mashup is coming in hot for fans starting this October with the historic first meeting of pop culture powerhouses. Who will survive to tell the tale?

Writer Rory McConville continues his critically acclaimed tales of The Terminator here in unexpected fashion, following his series The Terminator: Metal. The star scribe of Spawn and Red Sonja brings the eye for action and science fiction twists to this fabled meeting.

Tackling the pulse-pounding pages inside the book is a heartwarming duo of Steven and Lily Butler. Longtime comics fans will know Butler for his beloved tenure on Spider-Man titles in the 1990s. His bibliography with Archie is deep, especially contributing to their Sonic the Hedgehog titles for years. In 1999 that same series publicly announced the birth of his daughter Lily. Now years later, the father and daughter duo are frequent artistic collaborators and in this series are set to balance the iconic house style of Riverdale with the threatening metal visage of The Terminator!

Complementing the thrilling showdown inside the series, each issue of Archie vs. The Terminator features covers by a range of familiar favorites to both Dynamite and Archie readers including Francesco Francavilla, Robert Hack, Björn Barends, and Bill Galvan. Fans can also get a mystery blind bag on the premiere issue, packed with limited editions selected randomly from a range of stunning variants.

This series follows the fan-favorite Archie X Army of Darkness crossover, which marked the first in a new era of continuing crossovers and collaborations between Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics. Even more details are to be announced soon!

Who’d ever want to be ordinary when you could be a teenage witch instead? Still reeling from the surprise revelation of her secret birthright and with Halloween just around the corner, high schooler Sabrina Spellman is honing her craft one hex at a time and figuring out how to balance her magical new life with the crushing responsibilities of being 16 years old.

Shaq, Stephanie Williams, Ray-Anthony Height, Studio Sky-Tiger, and Archie team for Vengeance Unchained: The Legend of Black Caesar

Shaquille O’Neal is setting sail into the comic book world! The basketball Hall of Famer and business mogul has partnered with Archie Comics to develop Vengeance Unchained: The Legend of Black Caesar, a new original comic book series coming this fall centered on the rise of one of history’s most mythological pirates, by Eisner-nominated writer Stephanie Williams with artwork by Ray-Anthony Height and Studio Sky-Tiger. Colin Smeeton, Mike Parris, and Matthew Gross from O’Neal’s Jersey Legends Productions/Authentic Studios are overseeing the project for the studio. 

Described as a grounded, character-driven pirate epic, the project charts the transformation of an African king from royalty to slavery to a feared outlaw of the Caribbean, blending historical inspiration with cinematic storytelling. The project is positioned as a sprawling, franchise-ready narrative, combining the political complexity of Black Sails, the sweeping scope of Vikings, and the character-driven storytelling of Shōgun. The release described the tone as leans “Gladiator on the high seas,” with a focus on power, survival, and vengeance.

Growing up, I always loved stories about warriors who refused to quit. Black Caesar starts as a king, loses everything, and takes his freedom back on his own terms. That’s the kind of story I want to help tell. We built something that’s going to entertain you and make you think. I’m ready for the world to see what we created with Archie Comics, an iconic brand I have been a big fan of for many years. Archie has such an incredible legacy of storytelling, and being able to collaborate with a brand that has meant so much to generations of fans made this project even more exciting for me

-Shaquille O’Neal

For O’Neal, the project represents a move deeper into original IP creation, with a story that emphasizes legacy, identity, and the cost of freedom.

Vengeance Unchained: The Legend of Black Caesar is slated for release this year, with additional details to be announced at a later date.
