You know how in some continuities, Alfred is a retired SAS combat medic? They should do something similar with the Riverdale faculty. Riverdale: Red Dawn.

The Bee is a retired marine. Ms. Grundy was a MASH nurse in Korea or Vietnam or whatever's appropriate these days. Prof. Flutesnoot worked for OSI, or CIA's OST or something. Coach Kleats taught 'unconventional warfare' to 'freedom fighters' in wherever is appropriate for the timeframe.

To the kids, of course, they're just their usual doddering old selves. Then Commies/Aliens/Zombies/Whatever invade, and the faculty step up and start whipping the kids into shape. Make it dark as hell.

This is somewhat what happens in Afterlife with Archie, except the faculty are presumably all dead and the kids are surviving by basically running away.

One of them just made a literal deal with the Old Ones to have them restore the girl he loves to life in exchange for him betraying the remaining survivors by murdering the one keeping them going.

Yeah, AwA is good. So was the one where the two comic lines were parallel dimensions.

Archie Comics does some really awesome stuff.

Yup, and The Blossom Twins taken to a dark and disturbing place. And I think Jughead is hinted to "like" Archie.

Well, Jughead did date Archie's oddly-similar-looking future granddaughter for a while.

"Jughead is gay" is just as valid a reading of the longtime running gag of his aversion to women, although personally I like the asexual turn best.

You're welcome to apply death of the author, I guess, but the explicit text, including commentary from Chip Zdarsky is that he's asexual.

I was just making a joke about how he's had a surprising amount of girlfriends over the years, probably more than any other guy on the cast.

Yeah, but that's all been retconned now. It was a pretty weird trend, though. "Girls are overrated! All I need are hamburgers!" *Proceeds to date every new girl who moves in to town not named Cheryl Blossom* "Archie you need to stop being so obsessed with women!"

A lot of that was probably writers making sure the reader knew he had a case of the not-gays.

He's got a crazy uncle who lives in the big city. Owned a hat shop for a while before getting mixed up in some shady business and being sent to the loony bin. The family doesn't like to talk about it.

Right, that's what I meant--the character is from the What If issue. Obviously that panel wasn't drawn in the 90's.
