Hot off the heels of the recently released Archie Vs Predator is a new book coming soon which will have the Archie gang dealing with Sharknado.

And when Terminator: Genysis is out...Archie vs. Terminator, right?

At least their Mega Man comics are good. Sonic comics I'd have to check on sometime.

I like how the shark on the comic cover clearly resembles the DVD cover for Jaws

It's that time of year in Riverdale! The end of the school year. Time for beaches, barbecues, fun in the sun and... SHARKNADOS!?! That's right, get ready as Archie and the gang brave the storm of a tornado full a sharks that riffs off the pop culture phenomenon known as Sharknado! The story unfolds as sharknados are spotted on the “Feast” Coast! Our heroines have to figure out how to get back to Riverdale, where the storm is about to hit next. Soon Archie and the gang go, go, go as they battle the Sharknado-ravaged Riverdale! Who will live? Who will die? Will this take a BITE out of the end-of-the-year prom? Uh....probably! The comic book action is also concurrent with the plot of SHARKNADO 3 and hits stands right before the film's premiere in July on Syfy. Written by the SHARKNADO trilogy director Anthony C. Ferrante with Dan Parent.

Question-are the Archie comics still like they've always been as far as the setting?

I mean this plot is obviously based on a present day film, but like do they have cell phones and stuff now and just the same classic artwork?

It's pretty much the same world as always, but with modern tech

What's Next? The Riverdale Human Centipede?
Although if one really wanted to see that, I'm sure there is a dark corner of the Internet where some fan artist had made that gruesome image a reality.

Archie Meets The Punisher was pretty good, all things considering. I guess I'd give this a shot.

Remember, Riverdale has its own zombie apocalypse story, Afterlife with Archie, and it's told in a straightforward manner.

And it's one of the best comics ever.

This looks cool and all, but part of me misses the unironically wholesome Archie who only had to worry about baby mama drama and paying his soda tab.

Maybe the weird crossovers will Kickstart something of an MLP effect where a portion of the newer fans get curious about the main or earlier Archie material, who knows?

They still sell main Archie universe stuff. It's usually at the supermarket checkout

I know, I meant as far as its popularity.

It'll take a big catalyst- something along the lines of a TV show or movie- but they can absolutely do it.

You're telling me you wouldn't want to see that?

Over the last 2 years Archie has come out with some great comics. Afterlife with Archie is great,sucks it suffers from lots of delays. The new Sabrina Horror series is fun,again horrible delays. And Archie vs Predator issue 1 was neat.

Man I used to read the hell out of Archie when I was a kid.

Stay Out of Riverdale Sharknado!

[Sephiroth]

The Archieverse sounds like my personal interpretation of hell-being trapped in high school for eternity.

[Burst]

I'm pretty sure Archie mainly gets by via Sonic and Megaman nowadays since I still have never actually met anyone that reads, well, Archie, but kudos to them so long as they can make it not too blatantly "LOOK AT HOW RELEVANT WE ARE!"

But is that better or worse than the Peanutsverse, where you're trapped in Elementary school for eternity and your teachers sound like muted trumpets?
