"Francesco Francavilla will illustrate Afterlife with Archie. The artist will join Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa on the Archie Comics ongoing horror series.  The story sees the idyllic town of Riverdale overrun by the undead. &amp;quot;[It&amp;#039;s t]he challenge of telling a great zombie horror story while also telling a great Archie story,&amp;quot; Aguirre-Sacasa told the Los Angeles Times. &amp;quot;In other words, the fun of the project is keeping all of the quintessential &amp;quot;Archie&amp;quot; elements alive during a zombie- apocalypse and using well-known Archie tropes in service of a post-apocalyptic survival story. So that it&amp;#039;s Sabrina screwing up a spell - typical Sabrina - which lets an Evil Dead-like force loose in the word. &amp;quot;And it&amp;#039;s Reggie&amp;#039;s thoughtless and casual cruelty which sets things in motion. And Betty and Veronica&amp;#039;s rivalry plays out with, literally, life-and-death stakes. Archie bumbles his way into the role of de-facto leader. Jughead just wants to eat everything - and anyone - in sight, etc.&amp;quot; Francavilla is best-known for his work on Detective Comics and The Black Beetle. He recently unveiled a series of posters to mark the upcoming conclusion of Breaking Bad. Glee writer Aguirre-Sacasa was also announced recently to be working on the script for an Archie movie.
