Archie is Riverdale’s Newest Superhero this November!

Posted on by

Archie Comics expands into new genres and media every year, and it will round out 2024 with a giant leap in an explosive new superhero series, Archie is Mr. Justice! The comic, launching in November, reimagines flagship character Archie Andrews as a hero who has left his mark on Riverdale and gone away, leaving his friends to remember his selfless and incredible exploits.

The four-issue limited series begins with a story by writer Tim Seeley and artist Mike Norton, told from the perspective of Archie’s best friend Jughead in an emotional recollection of how the pair discovered Archie’s hidden talents, designed his costume, and set off to save Riverdale —and the world.

That expansive cast populating Archie stories for over 80 years is the heart of the series, which will spotlight different POV characters in following issues as Riverdale looks back on the impact of Mr. Justice, for good or for ill. Each issue will feature a new creative team, as well, including Amanda Diebert, Blake Howard, Kenny Porter, Maria Laura Sanapo, and Brent Schoonover.

Longtime Archie fans may recognize Mr. Justice as a familiar figure from the “Mighty Crusaders” superhero line, dating back to the Golden Age of comics when the publisher was still known as MLJ Comics. This is a nod to Archie’s long history; in an interesting bit of meta play, these MLJ-era comics exist within the fictional universe of Archie is Mr. Justice and inspire Archie and Jughead to act when discovering Archie’s powers.

Archie is Mr. Justice #1 releases November 20 in comic shops nationwide, with colors by Glenn Whitmore, lettering by Jack Morelli, and three open-to-order covers by Reiko Murakami, Francesco Francavilla, and Matt Talbot.

Return to Devil’s Highway with Benjamin Percy and Brent Schoonover

Posted on by

AWA has announced the return of the hit series, Devil’s Highway by Benjamin Percy and Brent Schoonover. Picking up where Sharon Harrow and Quentin Skinner left off, the story dives deeper into the terrifying dark web of crime on highways everywhere. Nick Filardi provides the colors with lettering by Sal Cipriano.

A truck stacked with bodies is discovered along the US/Canada border, and Sharon Harrow and Quentin Skinner are on the case. They need to figure out how all of these corpses are connected—and when they uncover the terrifying truth, they will unearth a murder syndicate that has infiltrated the walls of the very institutions meant to protect us. Now, our heroes are on the run—hunted by law enforcement and the trucking community—framed for crimes they didn’t commit. 

Devil’s Highway Vol. 2 #1 will be available on May 4, 2022.
