RIVERDALE IS ON A ROLL! Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications, Inc. have revealed the details of Archie #5 – kicking off a momentous new jumping-on point for the hilarious and heartfelt ongoing series that that AIPT calls “simply astounding”! This January, join an all-star cast of Riverdale’s newest fast favorites –  with New York Times best-selling writer Ben H. Winters, rising star Nick Cagnetti and Eisner Award-winning artist Fábio Moon – as they head into a riotous new adventure … beginning with a shocking turn of events for Archie’s next-door neighbor and all-around good kid: Betty Cooper!

Betty Cooper has just received some surprising news: Her dad’s mother’s great aunt’s second cousin (once removed), Aunt Elizabeth, has suddenly died at the respectable age of 104, leaving an unexpected inheritance to her namesake, sort-of niece. Betty worries how this windfall will disrupt her familiar life, but luckily her best friend and bona fide socialite Veronica knows all the tricks for treating her new money like Old Money—all while Archie wonders how he’ll manage to keep two fabulously wealthy girlfriends entertained! Plus: Eisner Award-winning artist Fábio Moon returns for a new chapter of “Jughead’s Journal,” colliding Jughead with a startlingly familiar face from the future . . . !

Put your money where your mouth is when Riverdale’s next and best jumping-on point arrives in Archie #5 this January—featuring swell covers by Eisner Award winner Leonardo Romero, interior artist Nick Cagnetti, Eisner Award nominee Kano, and legendary Archie Comics artist Dan Parent!
