I admit that the horror re-imagining of the Archie comics has both intrigued and annoyed me for a while. While I appreciate that they have finally let the world's oldest teenagers do something other than re-tread over 1950s jokes that were stale by about '54, I admit that a lot of the "gritty" remake stuff has been a bit less interesting for me. I should mention that I haven't hated anything as of yet but it hasn't really grabbed me as being that interesting or compelled me to read on. I want to state that this is only in the comics as I have never seen any of the television adaptations which I've heard different takes on. That said, this comic has me slightly intrigued but it's still running middle ground. I like that the twins are pretty sinister and I do enjoy the blending of mundane concerns like having enough soda for a party with the more diabolical concerns like being evil enough for their parents. It was pretty darkly humorous which I appreciated and I would have liked to see more of in the comic version of Sabrina that I read. Over all, I still don't know if I will be running out to grab the next issue but for what it's worth, I'm not saying I wouldn't give it a look just to see where it goes.

While I quite enjoy both Archie’s universe and the artwork, I’m not sure I have digested the dark turn this series have gotten, same as with Sabrina.
And, the Blossoms seem even worse than Sabrina, I think.

The Blossoms, forever in conflict, and now one of them will soon become the Anti-Christ. But which twin? Archie Horror continues to thrill and I can never get enough Cheryl and Jason.

Off to an interesting start. I’m trying to leave the CW Riverdale storyline out of my mind when reading this. Cheryl taking up for the little guy? Also, seeing why Jason was likeable? Definitely a difference.

This is another fantastic Archie horror comic! The Blossom twins are always portrayed as soulless so seeing them compete to become the Antichrist just works super well. The art for this was also absolutely amazing; this whole comic had such a cool modern style that I loved. My only complaint is that this would have been better as a longer series with a more complete ending.
