If ever there was a property that you have to be surprised that still manages to find relevancy in this modern age, it’s the Archie comics. With the last few years, they’ve found some really creative ways to have fun with the character while also making sure the classics are kept to. One of those fun ways was the October 2013 debut of the ongoing series Afterlife with Archie. That series, written by Robert Aquirre-Sacasas and drawn by Francesco Francaville, definitely does just that as it’s a Teen+ series that works some great ideas into a surprising property in a fantastic way. It’s free, so check it out!
