By Maryann Yin 

Archie Comics has a new horror series, bringing zombies to Riverdale with Afterlife with Archie.

The first issue will be released on October 9th. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa wrote the script and artist Francesco Francavilla created the illustrations. You can read more at the comic’s special site.

This marks the first time the company has produced a “direct marketing only, NOT for all ages” comic book. We’ve embedded the trailer above–what do you think?
