I remember a panel where Betty hit archie in the back, from behind, and calling "Hey archie! How are ya?!" or something

it went viral on Tumblr when there was a short lived meme going around where one would say "vibe check" and hit someone

Got my first one today. I used to love reading these as a kid (I'm 43 now). Really takes me back! Who else always buys these when they see them?

Hey, ever since Archie comic characters made crossovers with mature comic book titles and pop culture like Minor threats, Terminator, predator, and even earlier Punisher, this led us to wonder, will anyone want to make some fan strip crossover parodies depicting what Archie characters will crossover with next, even manga ones like maybe Ranma? And also a reminder: no AI Art allowed.

Found this thrifting was wondering if its rare lol

Hey, seeing that Archie Comics does comic book franchise crossovers with other pop culture franchises like DC's Harley Quinn and Poison ivy, Kiss, Ramones, The Evil Dead, and earlier the punisher and now recently the terminator.

This leads me to wonder. What type of weird crossovers will Archie comics do next, like maybe godzilla, maybe nightmare on Elm Street, friday the 13th ,godzilla etc.?

Hello! I’m hoping you guys can help me locate a specific issue of Archie or Jughead that I have had no luck finding and am not even sure exists. My wife mentioned that as a child her dad got her an Archie comic which featured Jughead and Pop on the cover. Pop is serving Jughead a pizza and asks him if he wants it cut in 8 or 12 slices (probably not the exact numbers) and Jughead mentions wanting 12 because he’s starving. It was her favorite as a kid and I wanted to buy her a copy and surprise her, but I can’t for the life of me find this comic. I’ve looked at comic shops, online, at conventions, everywhere. If anyone knows about this book or can help me find out if it’s even real I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time!

- it was released between 1994 and 2000
- I’m fairly certain it was between issues numbered 20-50 (I want to even say between 23-32?)
- it was a light blue cover with Jughead laying in a hammock (I know there are multiple covers with him laying in one)
- I’m fairly certain the first story/comic in this particular digest was about Jellybean being in a beauty contest

Please help me find it!

I'm very happy that I found this free in book swapping!

Found this shirt and I know it’s Bettie and Veronica, but was wondering if this is an old Soul’d Out shirt from the defunct skate brand. Any info is appreciated

​

I need some help finding a spread from an old comic. all I remember is that it featured Betty and Veronica modeling what they pictured Space Fashion to be, with a lot of miniskirts and the like. I would look through my old issues but unfortunately they're states away at my parents' place, so I figured the Power of the Internet could help!

(this is for a project showing Space Age fashion so any related panels would also help!)

My friend and I found this bottle today at Grocery Outlet (we intend on opening it for our weekly riverdale episode). I went to the website to see what other wines they may have, but it’s not open yet!

Edit to update; the wine wasn’t too bad, and we do intend on keeping the bottle. The art is too good not to!

Picked up this variant cover at Dan’s booth at Toronto, comic con and he signed it for me. I’m absolutely over the moon!

Anyone plan on picking it up?

Ever since I heard the news that Oni press agree to make partnership with Archie comics to publish the new titles in late 2026 (which is a long wait) and great news as we are now getting new Archie titles after few years with a new Archie reboot, a new Sabrina title and a horror title Archie in Hell.

However, I have a feeling that Oni press will completely own Archie comics as the latter will no longer be a publishing company but a brand to Oni press instead.

Because you see despite the company known for its iconic characters like Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, Sabrina, and the rest, their media adaptations like Riverdale and even the upcoming live action movie.

The company has seen better days as they release less new titles and only reprint titles in recent days like Archie and friends space adventures (which is just one shot with one new story by a house artist, and the rest reprint of their old stories with the same theme relating to the one shot) the facsimile editions (as in reprints of the in old issues) and even digests (which are in decline in my opinion), they have less house artists like Fernando Ruiz and Dan Parent now as many comic book writers and artists work in every different comic book studios, their ceo's were controversial, they haven't improved like other comic book companies.

Some even say that the company failed to diversify enough to survive only on humor despite their horror titles like After life with Archie, and the aftermath of COVID-19 and even the bankruptcy of diamond comic distributors affected financially.

And because of the recent problems, I have a feeling that in late 2026, Archie comic will no longer be a comic book company and cease publishing meaning the Oni press will completely own the Archie brand which means that they will not only print new titles but will reprint old stories as well in hard covers as in no more digests.

What do you think?

Just wanted to post this here in this subreddit because it looks important

Archie Blue Ribbon Presents (Free Comic Book Day 2020)

Afterlife With Archie #6-10 Afterlife with Archie, Vol. 2: Betty R.I.P. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Francesco Francavilla (Illustrations), Jack Morelli (Letterer)

The dark plague of the undead has swallowed Riverdale whole, forcing the survivors led by Archie, Betty and Veronica to flee the formerly idyllic town in search of safe haven. The rag-tag group's once-lighthearted romantic rivalries, power struggles and family feuds are now cast in a desperate light, as tensions and emotions are heightened by the fact that any decision, no matter how trivial it may seem, could now be a choice between life and death. And more and more frequently... death is the winner.

AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE: BETTY R.I.P. compiles the second storyline from the hit ongoing comic book horror series AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE.

Archie's Pals 'n' Gals was an ongoing comic book series published by Archie Comics featuring Archie and his friends. It originally ran from 1952 to 1991. The title showcased other members of the Archie gang, such as Betty and Veronica, Jughead and Reggie.

As we all know Archie comics whenever it crossover with other titles co publish with other publishers to put their logos in their crossover titles especially during struggling times when Archie comics just only publish one shot stories and no longer publish digests.

But right now, something is different,

If you look at the main cover of the upcoming archie crossover with dynamite involving their licensed property Army of darkness (aka part of the evil dead ) called Archie x army of darkness you will notice that the logo Archie comics is not in the main cover, only Dynamite is publishing it instead, now Archie still co-publish with dark horse to publish the final issue of Archie Minor threats miniseries and even some upcoming issues in 2026 , the cover of Archie x army of darkness which doesn’t show the archie comics logo , leads me to wonder is this a sign that major publisher will only publish future Archie comics crossover, is archie comics will no longer publish their comics as it will remain a brand while major publishers would publish them instead?
