Tropes common to this imprint:
- Adaptational Villainy: Given that Riverdale is usually not a setting with outright evil villains to begin with, this happens a good deal with the preexisting cast in order to fit the tone or serve the premise.
- Reggie Mantle is subjected to multiple Face Monster Turns, sometimes of his own volition, in Vampironica, Jughead The Hunger, and Judgement Day. Even beyond that, he's much less likely to be an actual friend to Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead, as making him even more resentful, jealous, and insecure fits the darker tone the books tend to aim to have.
- Bingo Wilkin in particular goes from a very Archie Andrews-like goofy teen who plays in a band with his girlfriend to a unrepentantly murderous and criminal werewolf in Jughead The Hunger and a demonic cult leader who sacrifices souls for stardom and power in The Cult of That Wilkin Boy.
- Judgement Day changes Alistair, Archie's little seen, obscure British cousin into a heinous demon from Hell that possesses Archie and corrupts him into a pawn for its version of Madam Satan.
- Adaptation Amalgamation: Some series will take elements from Riverdale despite being based much, much more on the mainline comics in terms of the characters and the status quo (before it gets upended by the supernatural threats). For example, Kevin Keller's father Tom is typically the town sheriff across multiple books, Jughead The Hunger has Jughead's father being part of the Southside Serpents biker gang and going by "FP", Blossoms 666 has a younger and more attractive Miss Grundy and an African American Pop Tate, etc.
- Alternate Universe:
- As stated above, titles in this imprint are explicitly not part of the core Archieverse. They're also parallel to one another, with the plot of the crossover Jughead the Hunger vs. Vampironica centering on a dangerous breakdown of the barriers between multiple dimensions.
- In the universe of Jughead The Hunger, werewolves have wiped out vampires. In the universe of Vampironica, vampires have wiped out werewolves.
- Bloodier and Gorier: Oh yes. On top of blood and human remains not being off the table, we actually get the chance to see characters get killed on-panel.
- Darker and Edgier: In addition to the supernatural terrors, these stories explore aspects of the core characters's personalities from darker angles.
- Dark Fic: A rare "official" version here, featuring murder and bloodshed otherwise absent in the Archieverse.
- Public Domain Canon Welding:
- Afterlife with Archie has Sabrina being forcibly wed to Cthulu from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
- Vampironica has none other than Count Dracula as its main villain. Except not really, as the crossover with Jughead: The Hunger reveals/retcons the entire plot of Vampironica. After some vampires emerge after their supposed destruction after the death of "Dracula" and mock Veronica for thinking she was capable of such a feat, she discovers that he was a fake as part of an elaborate scheme staged by Hiram and Hermione to gaslight Veronica into thinking she was cured of the vampirism that runs in the Lodge bloodline.
- Teen Horror: It's Archie Comics Played for Horror, what else can it be?
