Zombies invade Riverdale this Wednesday, October 9

Wednesday marks a bold new direction for Archie comics with the release of Afterlife With Archie #1 by Harvey Award-winning writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Eisner-winning artist Francesco Francavilla. The end of the world is upon Archie and friends in the first story-arc "Escape From Riverdale." A horrible accident leads to Jughead and Sabrina the Teenage Witch unleashing an evil upon the world that no one is ready for. Roberto captures the classic feel of the Archie characters everyone knows and loves but works them into a world of horror you've never seen them experience before. Pair this amazing story with the atmospheric art of Francavilla, and you have a book you'll not want to miss. Don't be fooled, this Archie comic is not intended for kids or the faint of heart. Don't forget to grab a copy of the special Dr. No's Comics & Games variant featuring our store's name.

DC comics launches the all new Superman/Wonder Woman #1 by up-and-coming writer Charles Soule and fan-favorite artist Tony S. Daniel. Inside this book, you'll read of a love story between two super-beings that could spell Doomsday for everyone. While Superman and Wonder Woman love each other, there are many that don't share the feeling as they worry what might happen when two god-like heroes enter the battlefield of love. However, all is not hugs and kisses in the DCU. When the Secret Society gripped the world in their reign of terror, no city felt it more than Gotham City. In Forever Evil: Arkham War #1 by Peter J. Tomasi and Scot Eaton, Gotham is overrun by the former tenants of Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Prison, and with Batman presumed dead, what will become of his city? Speaking of the Bat, "Zero Year" part four picks up in double-sized Batman #24 by Scott Snyder and Gregg Capullo. A young Dark Knight is in hot pursuit of the Red Hood Gang and its mysterious leader, and you won't guess the secret origins that will be revealed along with something that'll change Batman's life and the course of "Zero Year."

Marvel's secret group of some of the most powerful heroes on the planet (and off), The Illuminati, stand against Thanos in Infinity #4 by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena, and Thor enters the picture as the fall of worlds is determined in negotiations. Tie-in issues this week include Superior Spider-Man Team Up #4, by Christopher Yost and Marco Checchetto, and Fearless Defenders #10, by Cullen bunn and Will Sliney. Part seven of "X-Men: Battle of the Atom" hits this week in X-Men #6 by Brian Wood and David Lopez, and the Jean Grey School becomes a battlefield when the X-Men and Future X-Men are attacked. A few other notable titles this week include Avengers Arena #16, Dexter #4, Thor: God of Thunder #14 and more.

This week, Vertigo presents the all new comic Coffin Hill #1 by noted author Caitlin Kittredge and artist Inaki Miranda. Ten years ago, Eve took part in a night of sex, drugs and witchcraft that left her naked, bloody and without memory of how she ended up that way. Soon after, she finds out one of her friends is missing, one has been admitted to a mental institution and another says Eve caused everything. Now, Eve has returned to the town of Coffin Hill after her career as a Boston cop is cut short by a bullet. However, the evil she unleashed that horrible night never left Coffin Hill and has cursed the small town ever since. Fans of horror should not pass this book over.

Image Comics' The Walking Dead celebrates its 10th anniversary with the kick-off of the comic's biggest storyline ever "All-Out War" in The Walking Dead #115 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard. This is the beginning of Rick and Negan's final confrontation; to not leave readers hanging, this also marks the start of The Walking Dead releasing twice monthly for six months. That is a whole year's worth of everyone's favorite zombie book in half the time! To celebrate the anniversary, issue #115 ships with 12 covers: the standard cover (pictured to the right), 10 covers that form a continuos, connecting piece of art depicting major story events from the book's history, and a blank cover. The celebration doesn't stop there! The Walking Dead #1 10th Anniversary Edition presents Kirkman and Tony Moore's classic issue in full color for the first time by colorist Dave Stewart; included with this issue are the various covers done for it throughout the past 10 years and other bonus material. If you thought that was all, you'd be mistaken. The Walking Dead Tyreese Special reprints the character's first appearance from way back in issue seven and the new origin story originally in the FCBD issue. Last but not least, the third novel The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor hits shelves.

Image has a new book kicking off this week by Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder: Rocket Girl #1. Dayoung Johansson is a high-tech, future teenage cop that has been sent back in time to New York City circa 1986. As she investigates the time crimes of a megacorporation, Dayoung discovers that her timeline shouldn't even exist. Give this new ongoing series a try. In Three #1, writer Kieron Gillen and artist Ryan Kelly tells the story of three slaves on the run from 300 of the greatest Spartan warriors. If you liked Frank Miller's 300, you'll want to read this book.
