'Archie Meets Ramones' - Coming In October (Preview)

Get ready to rock when Archie Meets Ramones with Alex Segura, Matthew Rosenberg, and Gisele Lagace! Archie and his friends Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie are going to meet the legendary punk group according to Archie Comics. The epic meetup will happen in October as Archie and his friends travel back in time to 1970s New York.

It will be co-written by Alex Segura (Archie Meets KISS) and Matthew Rosenberg (We Can Never Go Home) with art by Gisele Lagace (Occupy Riverdale) and colors by Shouri. It will also feature variant covers by Veronica Fish, Francesco Francavilla, and Dan Parent.

Co-writer Alex Segura said, "my comic fandom always ran parallel to an obsession with music, so having the chance to merge them for this project has been amazing. Not only are Matt and Gisele amazing collaborators – they’re wonderful people and friends. This is the project we’ve been waiting years to do, and I hope it makes Archie and Ramones fans happy".

Co-writer Matthew Rosenberg added, "when I was growing up Archie ignited my lifelong love for comics and Ramones are what made me fall in love with punk. As an adult, it’s a dream come true to be able to smash these two things together".

It will debut on October 5th. Did you miss the news about the upcoming TV series, Riverdale? (Click the cover images below to enlarge.)
