Afterlife with Archie #2
In "Escape From Riverdale Chapter Two: Dance of the Dead," the zombie-infested chaos of the school dance reaches a fever pitch as Zombie Jughead spreads the infection to Ethel, Mr. Weatherbee, and Miss Grundy, turning the prom into a nightmare. With Jughead locked away in the locker room, the surviving members of the gang flee the scene, racing toward the Lodge mansion for safety—only to find new horrors waiting in Pop Tate’s. The story, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and illustrated with chilling precision by Francesco Francavilla, builds tension through its stark, atmospheric art and escalating dread, all rendered in a cover by Francavilla that captures the grim spectacle of Riverdale’s descent.
