Following the major events of the "Over the Edge" story arc, the fallout continues in Archie Comics Archie #23, the first chapter of "Heart of Riverdale" -- and CBR has an exclusive preview.

"'Heart of Riverdale' is about seeing how Archie and the gang find strength in themselves and in one another in the face of tragedy," Archie series Mark Waid said in a statement to CBR. "It is a story about kindness and courage and compassion, and I couldn't be happier to be telling it, especially alongside artist Audrey Mok, whose outstanding work is both bold and very human."

"I've always been a big fan of Mark's Archie series, it's definitely a dream to be able to work on 'Heart of Riverdale,'" Audrey Mok added. "This new storyline begins with an issue full of emotions, lots of humor but with the same amount of heartbreaks. I even teared up when reading the script."
