Follow your nose when ARCHIE #3 lands in stores this November!
When Archie’s faithful, furry companion Vegas slips free during his Saturday bath, he takes us—and poor Archie, too—on a wet and wild tour of Riverdale . . . down the shady streets, into the side door, out into the alley, back into the laundromat, then through the fanciest restaurant in town and . . . well, you get the idea! There’s no slowing down, even when Betty, Moose, Reggie, Jughead, and Veronica all join the chase. It’s truly a dog’s day out as Vegas’s unpredictable path weaves into the everyday lives of Riverdale’s colorful townsfolk . . . revealing the explosive surprises and quiet victories that keep a small town ticking!
Check out what some of the critics have been saying once they got their eyes on all the Riverdale hijinks!
★★★★½“A fantastic restart for America's perennial teen, complete with all the humor, heart, and charm that you would hope for from a classic Archie comic.” – AIPT
"A refreshing update that is perfectly crafted to be a delight… A great relaunch to one of comics’ longest running mainstays [and] a must-read for anyone looking for some joy in their life." – THE BEAT
★★★★½“Ben H. Winters and Fábio Moon deliver a premiere issue that captures a lot of what made Archie and his friends endure for generations while also putting their own modern spin on it to make newcomers feel welcome.” – CAPES AND TIGHTS
"A perfect introduction… [ARCHIE #1] both captures the heightened parody of Americana that defines Archie and plays against it. This fresh start is a great starting point for new Archie readers and feels like the start of something great."– GATECRASHERS
★★★★½“Moon and Winters have effectively captured this feeling in the first issue, thanks to sweet gags, the classic characters you know, and some gorgeous art.” – COMIC BOOK CLUB
