Archie Comics has announced a Dec. 7 launch for Reggie and Me, from creative team of Tom DeFalco, Sandy Jarrell, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Jack Morelli.
"It's a great honor to be paired with a dynamic and fun artist like Sandy on one of my favorite characters," DeFalco said.
"Reggie Mantle has been called a self-aggrandizing egotist, a sinister super-villain, a merciless monster and worse, but his dog loves him. Sandy and I intend to show all the doubters and haters exactly why Reggie should be named the true master of this universe...or else!"
"The town of Riverdale has been part of my life as long as I can remember, and there couldn't be a more exciting time to visit," says series artist Sandy Jarrell. "Reg is more than a little salty he had to wait this long for his solo relaunch, so we've to make this count. I, for one, have no intention of getting on Mantle's list."
The new series will feature an assortment of variant covers from artists including Derek Charm, Robert Hack Ryan Jampole and more.
