Archie Comics' future is full of horror, beginning with Chilling Adventures in Sorcery
The future of Archie Comics is full of bite꧟-sized horror

After a perilous year or so which included a surpri🏅se hiatus of its flagship title after 78 year🌺s and the sudden death of its long-time editor-in-chief, Archie Comics has announced what it says will be the ▨beginning of the future for the publꦜisher.
It all begins under a new lead editor for the company, Jamie L. Rotante. Rotante was recently promoted to senior director of editorial, which will have her in charge of all new comics and graphic novel content, as wellꦦ as working with various licensors taking the Riverdale characters into other mediums.
one-shot by Eliot Rahal and Julius Ohta, this new anthology special will see Archie's queen of Hell becoming a story host akin to Twilight Zone's Rod Serling or What If…?'s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Uatu the Watcher to tel🐽l stories from across the Archie multiverse.."This horror anthology is the perfect love letter to both classic Archie tales a☂nd the more modern stories," Rotante says in the announcement. "The genre lends itself to have a timeless appeal to audiences and I believe that plays a factor into the excitement for Archie horror comics."
Rahal is returning for Chilling Adventures in Sorcery, joined by two other writers - Amy Chu, and Evan Stanley. The artists involved are Vincenzo Federici, Derek Charm, Evan Stanley, Pat🧸 and Tim Kennedy,🐼 Matt Herms, and Jack Morelli. Julius Ohta is back to draw the primary cover, with veteran horror artist Francesco Francavilla tapped for a variant cover.
"The future of Archie Comics starts here&hel🐠lip;" reads Archie Comics' marketing for this horror anthology, and Rotante says that anthology one-shots is something she plans for the company to do more of going forward.
"Working in this format gives us the chance to tackle a variety of genres and collaborate with exciting new talent and long-time favorites simul🐻taneously," says Rotante. "We ca﷽n't wait to share more news soon!"
