The action returns to the present minus maybe 2 or 3 hours. At the S-Mart, Archie's car wouldn't start, so his new trainer Ash offers to drive him to Reggie's lake house bash. On his way back to Riverdale, Ash runs into an old friend who's literally a chip off the old block. This signals to Ash that the kids are next on the Deadite menu and with his trademarked duffel bag of weapons, the Main Man hoofs it!
Meanwhile, it's discovered that Archie actually read from the Necromonicon. But he didn't finish the incantation. That limits how much damage the Deadites can amass and keeps Riverdale safe... for now. But if the Deadites can capture Archie, they can make him finish the spell and open the town up for the Army of Darkness!
I've not been disappointed with this series. True, I'm only on issue #2. But it's been a ton of fun. I must embarrassingly admit that I totally blanked on who the main antagonist of this crossover is. I knew that it was a character from Army of Darkness. But I just couldn't place the name. Shame on me. Shame.
Worth Consuming!
