Your out of context Archie panel of the day:

Nine Lives of Salem

The demon possessed animals of the last 1 shot bring Salem to an old mansion where 9 imps he once conjured to do his bidding are here to kill him so they can finally be free.

They forgot who they're dealing with

A solid story showing why Salem is not to be underestimated.

The Cursed Library: Alpha, Omega, & Unbound. (1/2)

Jinx has a plan to get her father and the literal Hell out of Riverdale. It doesn't go as expected, forcing Danni & Madam Satan to team up & discover the secret of the book that seems to be telling this story... and may be telling ALL these stories
February 7, 2026 at 10:40 AM
Truth or Dare.

This 1 shot tries to do psychological horror with Trula Twyst digging into everyone's secrets in a series of sadistic games, but it's undermined by a sappy ending which, while well intended, tries too hard to make us sympathize with Trula.

Plus several things are left unresolved.

Archie Comics: Judgment Day.

After Dilton accidentally unleashes demons on the world, Archie's parents are killed and the inhabitants of Riverdale become twisted evil monsters, Archie makes a pact with Madam Satan to put a stop to it

Visually stunning but a lot of pacing problems & a lousy end.
February 6, 2026 at 4:31 PM
The Cult of That Wilkin Boy: Initiation

Bingo's moved into management and is reaping souls for Hell at a fantastic rate. But the siren song of the stage calls, but there's an even bigger price to be paid for a comeback.

Not much on its own, but paired with the first story, it works really well.
February 6, 2026 at 3:59 PM
The Cursed Library: Prelude

The FCBD 2024 release picks up with Jinx & Madame Satan where we left them. Madame S is Jinx's prisoner and to pass the time, Jinx reads stories from her library... stories about people she knows and Madam S herself... but how?

Reprinted stuff but the frame is excellent
February 6, 2026 at 3:56 PM
Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe of Horrors: Fresh Meat (1/4)

So how did Pop's become the premiere food destination in Riverdale? This comic tells us.

The frame: Lord of the Fries

When Jughead starts patronizing Segrini's and the rest of Riverdale follows, Pop's gets a deal he may not be able to refuse.

Welcome to Riverdale.

Riverdale is perfect. But perfection comes at a price, as newcomer Ginger Snapp discovers... a price with supernatural strings.

A very creepy take on the "small town with a dark secret" story. Good, but not great. Needed to be a miniseries, I think.
February 6, 2026 at 11:58 AM
Madam Satan: Hell on Earth (1/2)

And here is where our two ongoing storylines, of Madam S and Jinx, come together.

After her revolt at Baxter High, Madame S is on the run. And to make things worse, Satan has conquered the world and as a result, magic is extinguished...
February 6, 2026 at 11:44 AM
Strange Science. (1/3)

Okay, a little context is needed for this one. Back in the early 90s Archie Comics got experimental and tried out a bunch of more fantastical titles (Explorers of the Unknown, Jughead's Time Police, etc)

One of these was a Dilton-centric series which introduced Danni Malloy.
February 6, 2026 at 11:17 AM
Camp Pickens (1/4)

Camp Pickens is cursed. Supernaturally cursed. And things keep happening to the counselors

Framing story: Bug Juice

Jughead discovers the camp supply of literal bug juice, which they give to the campers to keep the curse at bay, has run out, so he and 3 of the kids go for more
February 6, 2026 at 10:59 AM
Jinx: A Cursed Life.

Back with Jinx. So in this universe, rumors abound the Jinx is the daughter of Satan, which is why Archie comes to her when Jughead is possessed.

Jinx thinks it's nonsense but quickly finds out that dear old dad is in there and wants her to join him.

Another solid one.

Tell me more, Mr. Corbett...
February 5, 2026 at 2:44 PM
Quick digression.

The Cursed Library was a FCBD release that reprinted stories from previous anthologies, with a new framing device that Jinx was telling the stories. Also introduced her best friend Danni Malloy. Largely served as promo material & reintroducing Jinx in time for her next appearance
February 5, 2026 at 1:02 PM
The Cult of That Wilkin Boy. Not an anthology.

Bingo Wilkin has had it all for the last 7 years, but his soul is now due to the demon that made it happen.

But when you have an army of fans willing to kill for you, infernal power may not be enough to stop you.

Great deal with the devil story here.

Forgot the damn cover again.

Betty: The Final Girl (1/4)

Frame: Betty goes to Veronica's mountain cabin for a girls night but winds up having to babysit Ronnie's bratty cousin Leroy when Ronnie goes for food.

After a night of horror movies, Betty has some vivid dreams...
February 5, 2026 at 11:42 AM
Happy Horror Days. 3 tales of holiday terror, no frame. (1/4)

1st: Twas the Night Before the Hunger.

Back to the JtH universe. Betty wants to kill the Krampus but Jughead tells her why that's easier said than done.

Fun story, especially since Betty's getting more bloodthirsty with each appearance
February 5, 2026 at 11:21 AM
The Return of Chilling Adventures in Sorcery. (1/4)

We return to Madam Satan in a world that's literally Hell on Earth. But she refuses to be cowed, and begins a quest to escape the hellish halls of Baxter High... encountering a few familiar faces along the way...
February 4, 2026 at 12:47 PM
Fear the Funhouse (1/4).

This one was targeted to younger audiences with stories more in the vein of Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark.

The pre-teen versions of Archie and the gang tell spooky campfire stories in the frame.
February 4, 2026 at 12:14 PM
Chilling Adventures of Salem.

A single story focusing on everyone's favorite snarky familiar.

Salem gets captured by a warlock binding demons to stray animals, but things go horribly wrong for him when he tries to bind one to Salem.

This is a simple but excellent story. One of the best so far
