Archie #2 Preview

 

Cover A By Stuart Immonen

Archie Andrews and Forsythe Pendleton “Jughead” Jones III enjoy their lives in Riverdale. Even if he often falls short, Archie tries hard at his studies. He sings and plays guitar. He's even got a closet full of varsity jackets. Jughead has a voracious appetite and loves hanging out at Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe. He's even prone to the occasional transcendental experience.

 

Lately, Archie has been struggling to fit everything he wants to do into each day. And Jughead has begun to contemplate a future when he doesn’t attend Riverdale High, hang out with his friends, and order everything on Pop’s menu (twice). How might meeting their predecessors at a school reunion affect them? And who are all the other people in Archie and Jughead's lives?

It’s A Riverdale High Reunion. 

And Josie And The Pussycats are about to 

Bring The House Down!

 

 

 

The groundbreaking return of the most joyous comic book icon of all continues as New York Times bestselling writer and Eisner Award nominee Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman Trilogy) and multiple Eisner Award–winning artist Fábio Moon (Daytripper, Casanova) reveal the interlocking past lives of Riverdale’s elder generation—and just what they might mean for Archie Andrews’s future—in a party for the ages!

 

It’s reunion weekend at Riverdale High, and Archie is playing waiter—all while gathering wisdom from returning alumni about how to lead a life well lived. “You always have to make sure you’re living in the moment and having fun. You don’t want to look back on what you missed! But also! Don’t forget, you need to work hard or you’ll never get anywhere.” Thanks for delivering the ultimate contradiction! With a looming date night and a crushing academic deadline, Archie’s newfound ideals will soon be put to the test. Does he have what it takes to make the next step toward adulthood? Will Jughead eat all the hamburgers before they make it to the guests? Will Josie and the Pussycats play an encore?!

 

These are the pressing questions of our generation . . . and all will be answered as the year’s must-read new ongoing series greets a new day!
