From Afterlife with Archie and Jughead: The Hunger to Vampironica and Blossoms 666, Archie Comics has given adult horror fans plenty to enjoy in recent years, but they also have never stopped providing family-friendly frights in their digest comics.
With another Halloween season upon us, we're thrilled (and chilled) to once again team up with Archie Comics to provide Daily Dead readers the weekly treat of exclusive previews from their Halloween-themed digest comics, beginning with Betty & Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #307!
Along with a two-page look at the new story "Cemetery Situation" (written by Francis Bonnet with art and letters by Rex Lindsey and colors by Glenn Whitmore), we also have the reprint of George Gladir and Dan DeCarlo's story "The Cat Girl" (a rare tale featuring two characters not from the main Archie gang) that you can read in its entirety ahead of the digest's September 14th release!

In Riverdale’s stunning midseason finale, the question of whether Betty will ever give in to her dark impulses is answered.
This Riverdale review contains spoilers.
Since making her comic book debut in late 1941, Betty Cooper has become an archetype for the so-called all American girl next door. Beautiful and blonde were her original personality traits. However, the comics were much smarter than to just let Betty become a tired ditzy stereotype. Through the writing of Archie legends like Frank Doyle, George Gladir and Kathleen Webb, Betty Cooper was transformed into a character to be reckoned with.
Across the decades, Betty had been established as everything from Riverdale’s best mechanic to endlessly loyal and forgiving – making her a perfect foil to the oft-snobbish Veronica in the process. Just as Betty’s obsession with Archie was reaching levels of absurdity in the 1970s, the publisher decided to go meta. The...

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” has received critical acclaim for its progressive take on the popular 1960s Archie Comics character, but fans are disappointed with one change: Salem the cat does not speak. It’s a jarring switch compared to the mouthy, wisecracking feline that inspired countless GIFs from the 1990s sitcom “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.”
Kiernan Shipka, who now plays the titular Sabrina Spellman, said, “It’s nothing like the ‘90s sassy, mean Salem at all. That’s its own thing that we’re not going to try to compete with or be in the slightest because you can’t live up to that in any way. This is more of a subtle sort of nod, I would say, to the old show.”
Salem does talk in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ comic book, but that wasn’t his original intent. The comic was dark, and a talking cat wasn’t.

Witches' familiars are not household pets. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina finds truth from a feline friend.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's teen witch Sabrina Spellman, played by Kiernan Shipka, is a student so gifted she is sought by two schools, Greendale High School and the School of Unseen Arts. As a half-witch, she travels, sometimes astrally, in two worlds and has the same problems as the inhabitants of both. She has a dutiful boyfriend, devoted friends, and even more devoted enemies. Like most kids who go to boarding schools, Sabrina isn't allowed to take her pet to school with her. But this is a very special creature, and Sabrina has a very special bond with it. It is her familiar. Sabrina conjures her familiar in the opening episode of the series, which makes the attempt to merge the real magic and traditions of witchcraft with the comic book fantasy of witchery.
