Archie Andrews has been wrestling with matters of identity, truth and goodness in Judgement Day. In this exclusive cover reveal, you can see how it all winds down for Archie, Jughead, and the rest of those who have survived the post-apocalyptic hellscape that has absorbed Riverdale.

“This is it, the end of the end!” said Jamie L. Rotante, Archie Comics Senior Director of Editorial, in an exclusive statement ahead of the issue’s release. “Archie’s harrowing journey as the arbiter of justice comes to its shocking conclusion–and trust me when I say you won’t believe your eyes. As Archie fights demons to save humanity, he starts to lose more and more of his own. The question remains: who will save Archie? These gorgeous covers from Megan Hutchison, Francesco Francavilla, Reiko Murakami, and Luana Vecchio all perfectly showcase a broken Archie, a teen broken down and consumed by his mission.”

“You can’t have lived your life in the US without developing some kind of history with Archie characters; they’re omnipresent. For me, exposure came like it did for a lot of people pre-Riverdale: The grocery store checkout aisle,” said Aubrey Sitterson, the issue’s writer, in their own exclusive statement. “I didn’t often have access to comic shops and was primarily a newspaper strip kid growing up, so any opportunity to get my hands on some comics was a welcome one. What made Archie special, however, was the characters and their distinct designs and identities. I think that’s long been the appeal of Archie, that someone can pick up a book and, within a few pages, understand all they need to know about the world. The fact that Archie and the gang aren’t just characters but something deeper, archetypes, makes working on a book like JUDGMENT DAY all the more rewarding, as we have more than 80 years of expectations to rebel against and subvert.”
Below, for the first time ever, you can see the covers for Judgement Day #3. They were created by — in order — Megan Hutchison, Francesco Francavilla, Reiko Murakami, and Luana Vecchio.
