Archie vs the World sees Riverdale's resident heartthrob in a barren wasteland fighting for survival, as everyone's favorite teens live out their own version of Mad Max. Coming January 18 from aubreysitterson, jebriodo, MattHerms & JackMorelli.
There have been some creative takes on Archie and his gang before, but their next adventure may be the most outrageous yet. Archie Comics has provided an exclusive look at Archie vs. The World, a new one-shot that puts everyone's favorite teen characters in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Archie Comics is one of the oldest comic brands in the game, and for the better part of a century, the titular character and other residents of Riverdale have delighted readers of all ages. While there's been a never-ending supply of material featuring the standard versions of the All-American teenagers, Archie Comics has made some bold choices with its alternative, non-canonical stories.
2 Images Close In a post-apocalyptic future, our hero Archie Andrews is cursed to walk the world alone—well, alone with his souped-up jalopy. But Archie can defend himself—in fact, he’s the master of a brutal, deadly form of martial arts and must use his skills when he comes face-to-face with his rival and evil mirror image, Reggie.
Things sound dark for Archie, but he’s been in tighter scrapes than this. He’s faced a zombie apocalypse and survived, not to mention an encounter with the Punisher and Predator . And fans of the Riverdale television show don’t need to be reminded of the perilous odds he’s faced going up against serial killers and murderous mobs. The classic version of Archie may lead a fairly average existence, but his variants live an action-packed life that shows the hero he really is.
What does removing Archie from his classic home and separating him from his lifelong friends mean for the character? Fans may see a side of Archie they don’t often see in his standard stories: a more self-reliant and less open version of the familiar teen. Or maybe he’s the same friendly and upstanding young man just trying to get by in a world turned upside down. Putting Archie in a strange world provides endless opportunity to explore who the character is and what's truly important to him.
