Archie welcomes new character Prasad Asora to the cast!

Posted on by

Following the announcement of The Archies, an upcoming feature film directed by Zoya Akhtar and set in India, Archie Comics celebrates its longstanding connection to the country with a new member of its iconic cast of comic book characters! In The Archies in India graphic novel releasing in January, an original story by writer Bill Golliher and Dan Parent will introduce Prasad Arora, a Bollywood star who catches the attention of Betty and Veronica, adding a fun new dynamic to Riverdale’s relationships. 

Prasad will be an ongoing addition to new stories in the publisher’s comic books and digest magazines, and his first appearance was inspired by the creators’ experiences visiting the country to meet their many fans. Prasad’s debut leads a collection of every story featuring the Archie characters in India over 80 years of publishing, making it both a collectible first and a retrospective for longtime fans.

Archie and his friends from Riverdale have been globetrotting for decades… but their favorite place to visit by far is India! This special collection includes every story where Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and yes, even Reggie, have travelled to the great country. And what would any great trip be without plenty of romance, special cameo appearances, and TONS of musical moments? Plus, a BRAND-NEW STORY! In “Stars in Their Eyes,” Bollywood star Amisha Mehta has a film lined up to shoot in India and manages to get Betty and Veronica a gig as extras. The girls arrive on the set and Amisha discovers one of the biggest teen heartthrobs, Prasad Arora, is now scheduled to be in the film as well. When she hears this, she’s hopeful she will be in a scene with her crush. Betty and Veronica decide to play matchmaker to get Prasad and Amisha introduced… but will they cause more harm than good?

Written by Bill Golliher with art by Dan Parent, Rich Koslowski, and Glenn Whitmore, The Archies in India releases January 25 in comic shops nationwide. It features a cover by Dan Parent and Rosario “Tito” Peña.

From Bad Idea to Bad Idea Donuts… and a Comic

Posted on by

Bad Idea is over as we know it. That was the statement months ago. Long live Bad Idea… Donuts. On the day when you can’t trust anything, Bad Ideas has come out with a new announcement that is so insane even for them, it must be true.

The comic publisher turned chefs have created the “Perfect Donut”. We know that can’t be true since the perfect donut was created at Stan Mikita’s Donuts in 1992. But really, that’s not the news.

Bad Idea will be appearing at SC Comic Con on April 8th and 9th with a special Bad Idea Donuts pop-up.

Bad Idea’s ‘Perfect Donut’ will be available while supplies last, is strictly limited to one-per-customer, comes in a high-end, luxury gift box and is accompanied by an exclusive comic book – Bad Idea Donuts Presents: Bunsen Beaver and His Pal Tree – featuring two brand-new stories by Robert Venditti, Juan José Ryp, Rich Koslowski, David Lapham, and introducing Disney Animation superstar Corey Wolfe to the world of comics.

Each exclusive retails for $20 and again is limtied to one-per-customer.
