NEW ARCHIE CREATIVE TEAMS

Archie Comics has announced writer Nick Spencer and artist Marguerite Sauvage will take over on Archie.

Archie #700 sees Archie and his friends returning to school with new storylines, new mysteries unfolding and a bombshell secret romance soon to be revealed.

"Getting to write Archie is more than a dream come true for me," Spencer said. "I've loved reading the exploits of the whole Riverdale gang my entire life, and getting to now tell their stories myself is a real honor. And launching with a milestone 700th issue! It doesn't get better than that.

"Well, it does actually -- I'm working with Marguerite Sauvage, one of the best artists in comics!

"Everyone involved in this project has such a passion for these characters, and it's our sincere hope to honor the legacy of what's come before while moving boldly into the future with twists and surprises like you've never seen before!"

October will see the release of Archie #699, a special recap issue that covers the key events from the Archie series including the #LipStickIncident, Over the Edge, Heart of Riverdale and more. This issue will be available at comic book shops and digitally for a promotional price of $1 and is geared towards new and returning readers.

Betty and Veronica will once again headline their own series in December's Betty & Veronica #1. Written by Jamie L. Rotante, fresh off her run on Batty & Veronica: Vixens, the new mini-series sees B&V dealing with the life changes of senior year and the impending threat of splitting up as they each make plans for college and beyond.

"The biggest change in this series is that, for the first time, we'll see the characters in their senior year of high school." Rotante said. "I want to take an approach that's very grounded in reality -- these are two best friends who have no idea what the future has in store for them. They've just gotten really close and college could separate them from one another. It's going to be a testament to their friendship, how they can pull through anything even when things get tough."
