The New Riverdale era starts here as Eisner Award winners Mark Waid (Kingdom Come) and Fiona Staples (Saga) bring Archie Andrews to living color in this modern-day retelling of how Riverdale’s fastest friends first came together.

Meet the Riverdale gang as you’ve never seen them before: Archie, the cool, guitar-strumming all-American boy; his oddball but wise best friend, Jughead; girl-next-door and car mechanic Betty; and the stylishly rebellious new girl Veronica as they conquer high school drama, dating, and so much more in this contemporary new take on the students of Riverdale High!

The first in a new line of compact editions collecting Archie Comics’ most memorable moments, this handy volume collects the bestselling reinvention that io9 calls “absolutely fantastic”—with additional contributions from acclaimed artists Annie Wu (Hawkeye) and Veronica Fish (Spider-Woman).

Collects Archie (2015) #1–6.
