Zombies in Riverdale. This is another genre story within the Archie universe that doesn't seem to really affect the main storyline going on. So it's fun and we get to see the characters in different situations.
I could see this being a dream that hot dog has, that's Jughead's dog, when he gets indigestion from eating hot dogs. Hot dog, in the story, gets run over by a car and Jughead is in despair. He has Sabrina, the witch bring his dog back to life, but the consequence is that it's a zombie dog and the dog can turn people into zombies as well. So now, this whole thing begins to spread through Riverdale when Jughead shows up at the school dance.
A small gang of kids survive the night and end up at Lodge manor for safety until a zombie mob shows up to overwhelm them. It was actually a very well done story and fun. I need to read the next issue now. It sure did take them long enough to tell the story. This story was published in 2014 and the next 5 issues took 4 more years to publish. That is pretty slow.
I like that Archie comics does these story that are out of the main storyline and very different. It is fun to mix things up and see the kids in a new situation where events are different, but have no lasting effects. Like Pop's burned down in this one, but it's not really gone, but in this story. I guess it's like different universe's or realities in the MCU or DC universe. Everyone has a universe now.
