Riverdale's South Side Serpents are getting their very own Archie Comics one-shot this January.

Announced during the Beyond Riverdale panel at New York Comic Con, Riverdale Presents: South Side Serpents #1 comes from writer  David M. Barnett and artist Richard Ortiz. South Side Serpents #1 is scheduled to hit comic shops on Jan. 27, 2021, around the time The CW's Riverdale is set to return to television for its fifth season. Decider explains that the comic sees F.P. Jones recruit his son, Jughead -- as well as other familiar faces from Riverdale like Toni Topaz, Fangs Fogarty and Sweet Pea -- for a mission he hopes will "bring the Serpents back to their old glory."

"I've known David and Richard a long time and have wanted to work with both of them," Archie Comics co-president Alex Segura told Decider. "David's a pro -- a journalist who's written some great comics. Richard has a clean, memorable line and is an editor's dream. So, when we knew we wanted to spotlight the South Side Serpents corner of the Riverdale universe, it made sense to pair them together. The end result is a dark, compelling and unique take on some of fans' favorite characters -- plus plenty of surprises."

Per the full synopsis for Riverdale Presents: South Side Serpents #1,

FP Jones is worried for the future of the Southside Serpents. The biker gang is getting old and finding it hard to attract fresh blood. But FP has a plan, and it revolves around his son, Jughead. Hunted by the most fearsome biker gangs in the state, an unwilling Jughead has to step up into the role of leader to guide the Serpents on a perilous journey. There will be adventure, there will be thrills, there will be chases, and there will be death in this special one-shot event featuring fan-favorite characters from the CW Riverdale series.
