“The new series will focus on the strengths of the popular characters, their world and harken back to the comic’s humorous and edgier roots,” said Archie Comics Publisher / CEO Jon Goldwater.
The relaunch kicks off a multi-platform celebration of 75 years of Archie starting in the latter half of 2015 and rolling through the anniversary year of 2016.
