While many associate the spooky season with fall, summer offers its own brand of chills—especially when it comes to comics. The 90s reign supreme in the hearts of horror fans, and for good reason. These teen-centric slashers are perfect for summer breaks.
Capturing that summer nostalgia perfectly, Archie Comics unleashes a one-shot thriller next week: “Truth or Dare.” Writer Ron Robbins and artist Laura Braga craft a chilling tale centered around Riverdale High’s newest student, Trula Twyst. Trula, a familiar face from Archie’s 90s kids’ comics, isn’t here to make friends. She’s a master manipulator, using behavioral psychology for her dark purposes. In the 90s comics, Trula used her skills on Jughead for comedic effect. This time, the stakes are much higher.
Robbins cites horror icons like SAW, Mean Girls, Jawbreaker, and even the infamous “Slumber Party” episode of “Beverly Hills: 90210” as inspirations for “Truth or Dare.” Buckle up because you’re in for a wild ride!
Archie Comics delivers a fresh dose of summer horror with “Truth or Dare.” Packed with 90s nostalgia and a healthy dose of contemporary thrills, it’s a must-read for horror fans. Will you take the dare and dive into this twisted game? Pop some popcorn, crank up the AC, and dive into “Truth or Dare.” Get your copy from Archie Comics.
