Archie (2026)

BEING YOUNG NEVER GETS OLD! THE MILESTONE COMICS PUBLISHING EVENT OF THE YEAR STARTS HERE AS ONI PRESS AND ARCHIE COMICS PROUDLY PRESENT A GROUNDBREAKING NEW ONGOING SERIES FOR THE MOST JOYOUS COMIC BOOK ICON OF ALL! A new day is dawning in Riverdale as New York Times bestselling writer, Edgar Award and Philip K. Dick Award winner, and Eisner Award nominee Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, Benjamin) joins multiple Eisner Award–winning artist Fábio Moon (Daytripper, Casanova) to reintroduce America’s favorite teenager—and begin a star-studded countdown to Archie’s 85th anniversary—with a 21st-century testament to teenage idealism and the limitless joy of Archie Comics! For his entire life, 17-year-old Archie Andrews has had it all: adoring friends, football glory, and a natural charm that always seems to make him the center of attention. Now, through his eyes, experience the warmth and wonder of Riverdale and its near-infinite roster of residents—the popular kids, the endearing oddballs, and everyone in between—as Archie embarks on a whirlwind, all-star adventure through his town’s past, present, and future . . . beginning with a local film festival that’s about to turn everything upside down . . . And, at the center of it all, lies an enigmatic paradox that only Archie’s pal Jughead Jones can possibly unravel . . . Plus: Puzzles! Pin-ups! And a veritable sweet shop of surprises that all link to the same inextricable mystery . . . Finally, your antidote for postmodern malaise has arrived. Welcome to the all-new ARCHIE #1!

IT’S A RIVERDALE HIGH REUNION . . . AND JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS ARE ABOUT TO BRING THE HOUSE DOWN! The groundbreaking return of the most joyous comic book icon of all continues as New York Times bestselling writer and Eisner Award nominee Ben H. Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman Trilogy) and multiple Eisner Award–winning artist Fábio Moon (Daytripper, Casanova) reveal the interlocking past lives of Riverdale’s elder generation—and just what they might mean for Archie Andrews’s future—in a party for the ages! It’s reunion weekend at Riverdale High, and Archie is playing waiter—all while gathering wisdom from returning alumni about how to lead a life well lived. “You always have to make sure you’re living in the moment and having fun. You don’t want to look back on what you missed! But also! Don’t forget, you need to work hard or you’ll never get anywhere.” Thanks for delivering the ultimate contradiction! With a looming date night and a crushing academic deadline, Archie’s newfound ideals will soon be put to the test. Does he have what it takes to make the next step toward adulthood? Will Jughead eat all the hamburgers before they make it to the guests? Will Josie and the Pussycats play an encore?! These are the pressing questions of our generation . . . and all will be answered as the year’s must-read new ongoing series greets a new day!

When Archie’s faithful, furry companion Vegas slips free during his Saturday bath, he takes us—and poor Archie, too—on a wet and wild tour of Riverdale . . . down the shady streets, into the side door, out into the alley, back into the laundromat, then through the fanciest restaurant in town and . . . well, you get the idea! There’s no slowing down, even when Betty, Moose, Reggie, Jughead, and Veronica all join the chase.
