A mysterious relative leaves Reggie a lake house. His parents say it will be fully his at graduation. He celebrates with a party. Archie discovers a secret room and the mysterious Necronomicon! He starts reading, trying to understand the book. Unfortunately, Archie unleashes an Army of Darkness! Fortunately, Ash was transferred to Riverdale's S-Mart a month ago. Starting his new job at S-Mart, Archie gets a tour and background on Ash.
Erick Burnham is known for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters. He is also known for Nick Landime. Burnham definitely has Riverdale's cast of characters down.
Robert Hack's homage cover is enjoyable. Fans of Afterlife with Archie will enjoy this story. Bill Galvan and Ben Galvan's art is top-notch. They've got the Archie look down. Ellie Wright on colors and Carlos M. Mangual on letters round things out.
This is an enjoyable start. It's a curiosity to see where Burnham takes things. Yes, it's Archie X The Army of Darkness. It also feels something like Scooby Doo, without Scooby, just the Mystery Gang.
Archie X The Army of Darkness earns five stars.
