Say it isn’t so! The soap opera world of Archie Comics is wrapping up its summer shindig of horrors in style. From Archie’s gripping encounter with demon king Alistair to Sabrina’s seaside riddle-solving alongside the unpredictable Ophelia Glutenschnable, we have it all here in the reviews out July 31, 2024. Buckle up, Buttercup, let’s take a ride through the madness!

Ready for Action at Archie’s Store

If you’re not too busy building that blanket fort to hide in after the chilling ending we’ve got coming up, Archie has a convenient online store where you can stock up on your favorite comics. Or, for the brave hearts who still enjoy the smell of ink and a paper crispier than Aunt May’s pies, locate yourself a comic shop on Archie’s website.

The Devil May Cry: Archie Comics Judgment Day #3

First things first, let’s tackle Archie’s heavyweight horror fare. In this nail-biting finale, Jughead (because let’s face it, that boy Craves drama) pushes Archie into a confrontation with someone from his past. As it often happens in such family-friendly comic books, things take a turn. The big question is, will our leading man give into his inner demons (quite literally this time) or will he stick to the straight, narrow and, let’s face it, the kind of boring way of things? Well, grab your popcorn and ready your psyche for an ending that’ll enthrall billions. Or, you know, a sizable yet respectable handful of Archie fans.

On a lighter note, Sabrina is back, helping us remember the good old days with the return of Ophelia Glutenschnable. As unpredictable as her last name is unpronounceable, Ophelia is here to add some charming chaos to the sands of summer.

The duo is set to spin a spellbinding adventure of magical proportions. Ah, nothing screams summer like the scent of the sea, sunscreen, and the possibility of triggering an ancient curse!

Haunting Nostalgia: Newly Digitized Classic Comics

And for those craving a slice of nostalgia amidst all the high-octane drama, Archie is launching remastered editions of their old classics. So, indulge in some good old-fashioned comic binge to your heart’s content.

That rounds up this week’s Archie circus, folks. We’d say stay tuned, but we’re all too aware of how difficult it is to crawl out of a blanket fort. Happy reading!
