Archie Comics' bold new revival of its flagship series continues in September with "Archie" #3 from the creative team of writer Mark Waid and artist Fiona Staples, and CBR has the exclusive first look at the issue's five covers -- by Staples, Cliff Chiang, Stuart Immonen, Andrew Robinson and Ben Caldwell -- along with solicitation text. Plus, solicitation text for Chip Zdarsky and Erica Henderson's "Jughead" #1, scheduled for release on Oct. 7, along with the six covers for the issue, revealed by CBR late last month.
ARCHIE #3
COMIC SUPERSTARS MARK WAID AND FIONA STAPLES ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF THEIR REMARKABLE REIMAGINING OF AN ICON! Something strange is looming over Riverdale-and it's taking the shape of a giant mega-mansion owned by an elusive mogul. Why has he chosen the quaint town of Riverdale, USA as his base of operations? And how is he going to use the teens of Riverdale High to further his political aspirations? Big questions and challenges await the teens and townsfolk-meanwhile, a new student has graced the halls of Riverdale High and she's turning heads in a BIG way! Find out all the answers to these important questions in the third issue of the biggest comics sensation of the season!
