Ash and the ‘Army of Darkness’ Are Invading ‘Riverdale’ for Upcoming Crossover Comic Series

The long-running Army of Darkness comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment is taking an unexpected detour, with Ash and the Deadites soon finding themselves in Riverdale!

The bizarre crossover is part of a multi-title collaboration between Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics, and it’s being billed as a “cataclysmic crossover event.”

Here’s the official synopsis: “The idyllic town of Riverdale has faced all manner of unexpected guests and multiversal threats, but never quite like this. In the forthcoming comic book series, Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the gang will battle the source of all evil as the Army of Darkness and the Necronomicon lay siege to the Town with Pep.

“Lucky for them, the one and only Ash Williams, equipped with his trademark wit and boomstick, is along for the ride as they beat back the monstrous hordes . . . or die trying.”

“Ash Williams has seen it all: demonic forces, time travel, monstrous doppelgängers. But Ash might be in for his toughest battle yet: fighting a horde of deadites alongside a group of teenagers!” said Archie Comics Senior Director of Editorial Jamie L. Rotante. “Thankfully, Archie and his friends are no strangers to the undead. And we couldn’t be more excited for everyone to see what madness will ensue when these two horror icons collide!”

“It’s always a blast to collaborate with other titans of the industry,” said Dynamite CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci. “We’re excited to be back in business with Archie and the whole Riverdale crew, cooking up some exciting stories and more for fans. Leading off with the franchise that started it all for us at Dynamite was the perfect choice.”
