A Graphic Year Week 5: Archie Gets Dark

I got week 5 in just under the gun. Last night I read Afterlife with Archie Vol. 1 and it was amazing. Archie is always pretty PG, even when he gets married. This series takes Archie to a place no one ever expected it to go.

The necromicon, secret lesbianism, zombies, adultery, and Betty and Veronica finally sniping at each other like normal women competing for the same boy. It starts with the death of Hot Dog and Sabrina making a mistake. From there all hell breaks loose with zombies invading the high school Halloween dance and characters start dropping like flies.

Who steps up? Who shows their true colors? Who does Archie go to in his time of need? I don't want to release rampant spoilers but this is a very powerful volume. Any adult fan of Archie needs to read it. I'm still having some feels about it.
