Don't Believe Everything You See... Welcome to Riverdale

Don't Believe Everything You See... Welcome to Riverdale

Coming this October, as part of Archie's annual Month of Mayhem event, reflect on the unknown with the thrilling one-shot WELCOME TO RIVERDALE. 

Riverdale has long been the home to Archie Andrews and his friends and family. Everyone knows it as the nicest place on earth... but what if things aren't always as they appear? It's going to take a newcomer to the town to unearth the secrets within. Welcome to Riverdale explores the horrors of toxic positivity and the uncanny valley, with a unique supernatural twist. 

The notion of an ideal town with a sinister backstory or trouble bubbling under the surface isn’t a new concept. Just look at Twin Peaks, Pleasantville, The Stepford Wives, and yes, the biggest example of all: Riverdale. It’s a tale worth revisiting because it can always be reinvented and done in new and interesting ways. And that rings especially true for Welcome to Riverdale.
