Archie Comics has been a staple of our popular culture for decades, whether through the brightly-colored and lighthearted comics, the genre-bending horror titles like Afterlife with Archie and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, or the indescribable art that was The CW’s Riverdale. And now, the franchise is headed into a new era.
Over the weekend, the publisher announced an unprecedented collaboration with Oni Press to publish new comics and graphic novels based on Archie’s iconic roster of characters. The initiative will also include a massive effort to reprint previous Archie titles, in formats like compact digest editions, deluxe hardcovers and omnibi, and comprehensive box sets. In 2027, it will also span into original middle grade and young adult graphic novels, which will be set in their own accessible continuity for new readers.
