Archie #1

In a Riverdale High buzzing with rumors after Archie and Betty’s breakup, Kevin and his friends try to reignite their romance by orchestrating a Homecoming King and Queen election—only for Jughead to quietly undermine the plan with his usual deadpan skepticism.

In "null," Archie takes on a summer job building the Lodge mansion, diving into a whirlwind of mishaps and misunderstandings that unfold with classic Archie charm. Meanwhile, Betty tries to move on from her breakup with Archie as she hosts a birthday party, navigating friendship, heartache, and the usual small-town drama.

In "Chapter One: Betty, Right?", Archie’s day takes a wild turn when Betty’s home run ball knocks him out cold—leaving him dazed and wondering if he’s still in the game. Meanwhile, Veronica reluctantly agrees to a ride in Reggie’s car, and Betty finds herself unexpectedly meeting Sayid.

In "Chapter Three: Are You Still Here?", Reggie tries to gain an edge by handing his father's forgotten story to Mr. Lodge, only to find it changes nothing. Meanwhile, Betty dashes to the hospital after hearing Archie was hurt by a fly ball—her worry cutting through the usual rhythm of Riverdale life.

In "Chapter Five: Klik," Veronica checks in on Archie during his hospital stay, navigating the quiet tension between her concern and the unspoken weight of what happened. As secrets swirl—Mrs. Andrews shielding Archie from the truth about Betty’s role and Reggie passing on news to Mr. Lodge—Jo finds herself caught between loyalty and the growing unease of what’s being kept hidden.

In "null," new principal Stanger takes over Riverdale High and immediately swaps the cafeteria's food for bland high-nutrition gruel, sending Jughead into a surreal daydream where he battles a dragon for the last hamburger.
