The Hollywood Reporter has debuted the trailer for Afterlife With Archie, the upcoming Archie Comics series by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla. It will be screened Saturday at Comic-Con International during the "Archie Comics: The Hottest Publisher in the Industry" panel.

Launching Oct. 9, the comic begins with Jughead's dog Hot Dog being run over by a car, leading him to convince Sabrina the Teenage Witch to resurrect the pooch. What comes back from the dead bites Jughead, infecting him with a virus -- and on the night of the Riverdale Halloween dance, the zombie apocalypse begins.

"Tonally, I think we’re going for horror laced with an undercurrent of black comedy," Aguirre-Sacasa told Comic Book Resources when the project was announced. "Like the first and second Evil Dead movies, or the original American Werewolf in London. The comedy will hopefully heighten the horror, and vice-versa."
