Something that’s been missing for awhile has been new installments of books from the Archie Horror line that dominated for awhile. With the two books, Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina having been stalled since last summer, some news har surfaced about it from creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. As it turns out, he’s been busy with the whole Riverdale project and pilot.
“After a too long delay, Archie Horror is back from near-death, with a new issue of ‘Afterlife with Archie’ and a new issue of ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.’ With follow-up issues already in process! There’s no excuse for late books, just apologies. It’s been a humbling — and busy — few months. I’ve been working on our soon-to-be filmed television pilot ‘Riverdale,’ which will bring our favorite characters to life for the first time in … decades, maybe? Again, that’s not an excuse, just something that’s been taking up a lot of time and energy. But … we’re back! And, as always, Francesco Francavilla and Robert Hack are doing the work of their careers. We know how much these books mean to you — so thank you, thank you, thank you for sticking with us through thick and thin. You’re the best fans in the world, is the truth, and hopefully we can serve you on a more consistent schedule over the next few months.”
According to Aguirre-Sacasa, the fifth issue of Sabrina is set for a May 18th, 2016 return while Afterlife with Archie comes back on June 1st, 2016.
