ARCHIE X ARMY OF DARKNESS (2026) #3 CVR A FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA

DO YOU WANT THE BAD NEWS, OR THE WORSE NEWS?

The bad news is that Archie Andrews has accidentally summoned the Army of Darkness to the peaceful streets of Riverdale — and that’s pretty bad news! But the good news is that when Archie read the cursed passage in question from the pages of the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, he didn’t properly complete the incantation — which means there’s still a chance to banish the Deadites back to the infernal realms. Unfortunately, it also means that if the Deadites can get hold of Archie and force him to read the incantation properly, they’ll be unstoppable. But in order to do that, they’ll first have to get past a certain one-handed hero — and he’s feeling lucky! Intrepid investigators ERIK BURNHAM and BILL GALVAN run down the story of the century in Archie X Army of Darkness #3 — featuring supporting coverage from GALVAN, FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA, LAURA BRAGA, CRAIG CERMAK, and STUART SAYGER!
