Archie meets Archie in the latest twist on the character'⛄s storied history of unexpected crossovers.
This time๊ the iconic humor comics Archie Andrews will meet his live-action counterpart from the CW's Riverdale in the appropriately titled Archie Meets Riverdale #1, written by Emmy-nominated writer Daniel Kibblesmith and illustrated by familiar Archie artists Pat and Tim K🌃ennedy.
The May one-shot "slips" between the worlds of the comic book 𒐪and TV Archies.ꦉ
So yeah... Archie has a multiverse.
"Some of the best fun we have here at Archie Comics is when we take tꦓwo wildly different concepts and jam them together and watch the chaos unfold afterwards," said Archie Comics brand new editor-in-chief/president and long-time editor Mike Pellerito.
"The cu🦄lt classic crossover from the '90s is a great example of taking two things that couldn't be further apart in terms of tone and delivering a story that stands the test of time while holding true to both franchises," says Pellerito in the announcement.
"When the idea of doing a crossover between the classic versions of the Archie Comics characters with the gritty and dramatic Riverdale versions first came up, we knew we had to get someone with a great app꧋reciation for both takes that co👍uld deliver everything we were looking for. "
The Archie-Frank Castle me🍸et-up isn't the only unusual Archie crossover. The red-headed forever-high schooler also met up with , human-hunting , and rock 'n roll icons .
"I love Archie Comics and I love Riverdale," says Kibblesmith, "and I love that Archie Comics are so malleable that they can become something like Riverdale. I also love that something as seemingly quain🍸t as classic Archie and as unapologetically bonkers as Riverdale can resonate with people so deeply that they can both become giant hits and/or enduring classics without ever sacrificing their core to 'hip' momentary trends."
Archie Meets Riverdale #1 is on-sale May 11 featuring a cover by Derek Charm൩ and a variant cover by Ben Cal🍌dwell.
