s a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom, and nothing feels the same. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer's events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music -- not follow in his dad's footsteps--despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship with Riverdale's young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Which means Archie doesn't have anyone who will mentor him -- certainly not singer Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats.
It's all weighing heavily on Archie's mind -- as is his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she's not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty's nerves -- which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick) aren't the only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there's an undeniable spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica doesn't want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for Archie.
And then there's Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch)... Riverdale's Queen Bee is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. What, exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious death of her twin brother, Jason? Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town, but there are dangers in the shadows... Based on the characters from Archie Comics, RIVERDALE is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ("Supergirl," "Glee"), Greg Berlanti ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Supergirl," "DC's Legends of Tomorrow"), Sarah Schechter ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Supergirl," "DC's Legends of Tomorrow") and Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics).Comment

War is coming to "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina."
Archie Comics' dark reboot of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" kicks off its second arc in September's issue #7 with "Witch-War," a six part storyline by writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Robert Hack
In "Witch War," Sabrina's late father, Edward Spellman, returns in the body of Sabrina's dead boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle. While Sabrina believes her old flame has returned, her aunts Hilda and Zelda sense trouble -- and they'll do everything that they can to keep Sabrina and Harvey apart. Meanwhile, Edward's ex-girlfriend, Madam Satan, reveals her dastardly plans for the Spellman family.
"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" is the second title in the Archie Horror line, which reimagines Archie Comics' signature teen comedies as dark supernatural thrillers. "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" debuted in 2014 before going on a year-long hiatus in June 2015 while Aguirre-Sacasa developed the drama "Riverdale" for The CW. The book returned to print with issue #5 on June 1.
"Sabrina the Teenage Witch" is Archie Comics' second-longest running franchise, and was created by George Gladir and Dan DeCarlo. In addition to a number of comic books, Sabrina previously appeared in a long-running live-action sitcom and three separate animated series.
"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" #7 goes on sale September 21, 2016 and features covers by Hack and Moritat.Comment
