Since moving to Riverdale nearly two years ago, Kevin Keller has established himself as the town's first gay resident, gotten married (in the alternate-future Life With Archie, at least) and even beaten back the forces of One Million Moms. But in Kevin Keller #5, which goes on sale Wednesday, he faces a homophobic reaction from one of Cheryl Blossom's Pembrooke Academy classmates.

Comic Book Resources has an exclusive preview for the issue, by Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski, which finds Kevin enjoying his first summer as a lifeguard on Riverdale Beach -- until he meets up with Cheryl and her snobby, trouble-making friends. One in particular, the goateed Sloan, takes issue with Kevin's sexual orientation, referring to him as "twinkle-toes" -- it is Riverdale, after all -- and facetiously offering to kiss his hand.

However, apparently not all of the Pembrooke gang has a problem with Kevin: The solicitation text teases that, "to make matters more complicated, a guy across enemy lines has eyes for Kevin … a surefire way to add drama to the whole mix!" Maybe it's Sloan; he does seem to be overcompensating for something.

Check out the entire exchange below, and read the full preview at CBR.
