Two of the most iconic groups in pop culture meet for the first time as the rock-fueled demons of KISS crash-land in Riverdale, home to America’s favorite teenager, Archie Andrews!

When one of Sabrina the Teenage Witch’s spells goes awry and summons forth a gang of dangerous monsters bent on turning the people of Riverdale into mindless zombies, what can Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Kevin Keller, and Betty & Veronica do to save their town?

Enter KISS: The Demon, Starchild, Catman, and Spaceman, four supernatural heroes with their sights set on the frightening invaders and their mysterious weapon, the Dynasty Amulet.

“This is a fun book.” —CNN

“A thoroughly entertaining (and wonderfully bizarre) story” -USA Today

“A flawless piece that plays out the strengths of both Icons to maximum effect.” -Pop Matters
