PORTLAND, OR (September 24, 2026) RIVERDALE BE DAMNED! Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – and the world-renowned Archie Comic Publications, Inc. are proud to reveal your first look inside ARCHIE IN HELL #2, the next shocking chapter of Oni Press’ monumental new line of star-studded Archie Comics series. The year’s red-hot horror hit from superstar creators Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) and Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz) lands this December, just in time for the 85th anniversary of America’s favorite teen icon!
Torn from the world he once knew and thrown back to a dark reflection of the year 1690, Archie Andrews has taken cover as “Archibald” Andrews—a humble inhabitant of the bleak and zealous Puritan community called Riverdale. And he’s not the only one on edge . . . Strange and unearthly occurrences plague this small countryside hovel, and, as the search for the collaborators of the devil’s business begins, Archie won’t be able to hide for long— especially not with that flaming red hair! But when strange echoes of his best friends from the modern day—Elizabeth “Betty” Cooper, Berenice “Veronica” Lodge, and Forsythe “Jughead” Jones—begin to emerge, Archie will quickly come to fear that while he may have been the demon A’ldarax’s first sacrifice, he may not be its last . . .
No one is safe . . . and the flames only rise higher . . . as America’s most iconic teenager locks horns with evil incarnate in ARCHIE IN HELL #2 by multiple Eisner Award nominee Patrick Horvath (Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees) and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook (Out of Alcatraz, Harrow County) this December – featuring covers by series artist Tyler Crook as well as Dustin Weaver (Avengers, Infinity), Jonathan Case (Green River Killer), Abigail Harding (Ask For Mercy), legendary Archie Comics artist Dan Parent (Life with Kevin), and Patricia Martín (Transformers)!
