THE FUTURE OF ARCHIE COMICS STARTS HERE IN AN ALL-NEW ANTHOLOGY-STYLE ONE-SHOT! Madam Satan is our tour guide into this horrific world exploring the underbelly of Riverdale and its surrounding areas! Madam Satan is trying to escape Hell. She goes through the circles of Hell in reverse. Along the way she meets lost/tortured souls who tell their stories—like that of Archie Andrews, who accepted a seemingly normal job as the nighttime security shift at Riverdale’s local pizzeria and children’s mascot entertainment venue. Only to learn that the venue harbors a deep, dark, robotic, monstrous secret! And then there’s Jughead Jones, a teen who never met a food he didn’t like. Until now. What is that eerie noise coming from the kitchen…? All that plus more bonus frightful content sure to delight all Archie horror fans!
Madam Satan leaves Hell. And along the way she runs into Archie & Jughead. Because... Because.
Living On, Part Time Archie tells Madam Satan how he ended up as the ferryman for Styx, which involves some kind of night security job at a haunted arcade. If you're hoping for an explanation as to how those two things fit together, prepare yourself for disappointment.
If you also think it sounds a bit like a FNAF rip-off, you'd be correct. But then he also gets sucked into a video game. <--and it's happened before? This made very little sense and wasn't at all fleshed out, even for a short.
Jughead Midnight Snack A bit better in the sense that at least this story sort of makes sense.
The gist is that Jughead's gluttony comes back to bite him in the ass. Or maybe just bite him in general.
Eventually, Madam Satan makes it out of the gates. But there's a twist! <--because it's not like she's going to get a HEA.
This was cute and fun, but could have been a lot scarier, and it was definitely missing something. I also agree with the other reviewer that it was too short. After I finished it, I had a feeling of "That's it?"
