BRAND NEW 4-PART ARCHIE PREMIUM EVENT LIMITED SERIES! With great powers comes great sacrifices-but when Archie is faced with having to choose between his responsibilities and his first love, Betty Cooper, will his duties to Riverdale win out over his heart?
Acclaimed filmmaker, director, writer, podcaster, and comic book fan Kevin Smith brings his talents to the world of Archie Comics in July with an oversized one-shot comic crossover, and a few of his friends are coming along for the ride: Jay and Silent Bob!
Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob #1— written by Smith with art by Archie mainstays Fernando Ruiz, Rich Koslowski, Matt Herms, and Jack Morelli — barrels into comic shops on July 9 — just in time for the year’s biggest pop culture event, San Diego Comic Con. The crossover the world has been waiting for kicks off when Archie gets a summer job working at Quick Stop alongside none other than Randal Graves, who debuted in Smith’s seminal 1994 film Clerks. But when Jay and Silent Bob hit the scene, Archie’s life — and all of Riverdale — only get wilder from there. Written in the hilarious, sharp style that defined his films, Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob #1 is a must-read for fans of Smith’s work and diehard Archie readers looking for a more mature and biting interpretation of the classic characters.
Following in the footsteps of now-legendary Archie crossovers like Archie Meets Predator, Archie MeetsRamones, and more, Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob#1 presents readers with an unlikely, historic, and completely bonkers pairing — in partnership with Smith himself. The end result, courtesy of Smith’s sly wit, takes Archie, Jay, Silent Bob, and the rest of the gang through a raucous 48 pages of hijinks as they crash a Pussycats concert, meet a potential new love interest, and blaze through a musical number that will be burned into your brain forever.
SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES, ARCHIE FANS!! Yes, you read that right—acclaimed writer, director, actor, producer, and podcaster Kevin Smith takes the teens you know and love from Riverdale on the wildest ride of their lives. What’s supposed to be a summer job at Quick Stop for Archie Andrews turns into so much more; from a budding friendship with co-worker Randal Graves, crashing a Pussycats concert, a potential new love interest, Jay and Silent Bob being, well, Jay and Silent Bob, and a musical number that will be burned into your brain forever. Plus, could Jay and Silent Bob even help Archie to finally choose between Betty and Veronica? SNOOGANS!! Featuring legendary Archie artists Fernando Ruiz and inker Rich Koslowksi, this is a DOUBLE-SIZED, CAN’T-MISS event FOR MATURE AUDIENCES unlike anything we’ve ever done before!

BRAND NEW 4-PART ARCHIE PREMIUM EVENT LIMITED SERIES! Young Archie Andrews possesses super strength, super speed, invincibility, and an undying urge to do what’s right for the world. His only “weakness” is his need to see the good in others, no matter how terrible they may be. His beloved hometown of Riverdale isn’t the welcoming town it once was, Mr. Lodge tried to turn it into a more modern, luxury city instead, which pushed a lot of families out and left a lot of buildings uninhabited. A lot of the “old timers” stuck around, but without progress and the financial stability to keep anything viable, it’s looking more and more like a ghost town. Archie’s goal isn’t just to restore Riverdale to its former glory-it’s to bring it into the future, too. And in this first issue, we learn of how Archie became MR. JUSTICE, all from the perspective of his best friend, Jughead Jones. This is truly a love letter to THE BEST of Archie, for fans of series like Whatever Happened to the Man or Tomorrow? and Invincible.
