You’ve Waited Over a Decade for This…

The moment has finally arrived—an event over ten years in the making. This August, THE CURSED LIBRARY comes to life. As foreshadowed in this year’s Free Comic Book Day offering, the worlds of Madam Satan, Jinx Holliday, and Danni Malloy are colliding—and no one from the horror side of the Archie Universe is safe.

Looper has all the details on the next Archie Premium Event limited series, telling a story that they call “Metal AF.” From the incomparable team of writers Magdalene Visaggio and Eliot Rahal, artist Craig Cermak, colorist Matt Herms, and letterer Jack Morelli (along with jaw-dropping covers from Robert Hack, Soo Lee, and Reiko Murakami), this story is "a through-line and nexus point that weaves together everything in the Archie Horror universe that's happened so far," and the end of the three-issue miniseries is intended to set the stage for "a very new and exciting future" for the publisher's darker line of comics.
