The team behind “Archies Meets Ramones” and March’s “The Archies” one-shot are set to launch a “The Archies” ongoing series starting in October. Co-writers Alex Segura and Matt Rosenberg, artist Joe Eisma (who has worked on the “Archie” reboot with Mark Waid and “Riverdale”) along with colorist Matt Herms and letterer Jack Morell are sending the band of Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie on their first tour across the country where they will meet real-life bands along the way.

Rosenberg and Segura said the goal was always to get an ongoing and send the band on the road.

“When we jammed on THE ARCHIES ONE-SHOT, it was always in the hopes of having the book become an ongoing, so it was great to see the positive response that made it possible,” said Segura. “Adding real bands in the mix gives the series a must-read twist and opens the door for Matt, Joe and I to get our favorite bands into Riverdale.”

“We’re taking The Archies out of Riverdale and sending them on tour across the country to experience everything a touring band goes through,” said Rosenberg. “So whether you grew up with Archie or you’ve never read a comic, here’s a great chance to hop in the van with these 5 old friends and experience something totally new.”

The new series debuts October 4th, 2017. Continue scrolling for the full solicit and a look at the main cover by Eisma and variants for the first issue by Sandy Jarrell and Kelly Fitzpatrick, Matthew Dow Smith, and Thomas Pitilli.
