Afterlife with Archie took the comic community by storm in 2013/2014 and was the top selling graphic novel of 2014. According to Comichron, the last time Archie hit #1 on a comic sales chart was in 1969. The ten-issue series ran from 2013-2016 and was nominated for four Harvey Awards (Best New Series, Best Continuing Series, Best Cover Artist, and Best Letterer) and two Eisner Awards (Best Cover Artist and Best Letterer).

One of my friends turned me on to this series pretty early. Interestingly, the series premise started from a variant cover to issue #23 of "Life with Archie" from 2012 drawn by Francesco Francavilla in which he spoofed the title with "Afterlife with Archie" and drew a zombie Jughead lurking toward Archie in a graveyard. It was a surprisingly good twist on an old staple that worked. However, the series seemed to lose momentum as it suffered delays through the second arc. They also incorporate Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Josey & the Pussycats into the storyline.
I haven't watched the CW Riverdale series that ends with season 7 in 2023. I know fans have clamored for them to do an "Afterlife with Archie" storyline.
