"Afterlife with Archie has been announced by Archie Comics. The ongoing series from Glee writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa sees a zombie apocalypse come to Riverdale.  &amp;quot;Afterlife with Archie combines two of my great passions: Archie comics and horror comics,&amp;quot; said Aguirre-Sacasa.  &amp;quot;This series came out of conversations with Jon [Goldwater], asking questions like, &amp;#039;What if the Archie characters found themselves in a Stephen King novel like The Stand or a Sam Raimi movie like The Evil Dead? Could we pull that off, tonally?&amp;#039; We&amp;#039;re really going for it.&amp;quot; The scribe revealed that the series&amp;#039; first arc will be titled &amp;#039;Escape from Riverdale&amp;#039; and the second &amp;#039;Betty RIP&amp;#039;, hinting that Betty Cooper will be joining the ranks of the undead. Afterlife with Archie will debut in &amp;quot;late 2013&amp;quot;. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
