About this Collection

This volume collects issues #9-12 of the 2017 Archie series, continuing the modernized reboot of the classic teen comedy-drama. The stories focus on Archie Andrews navigating high school life, friendships, and romantic entanglements with Betty and Veronica, written by Mark Waid with art by various illustrators.

In "Chapter One: Worlds Apart," Veronica’s hopes for a fresh start take a sharp turn when Mr. Lodge acquires the Blossom family company to support her — but her victory feels hollow when Cheryl reveals she’s moving to Riverdale too. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life by Joe Eisma’s expressive art and Andre Szymanowicz’s vibrant colors, this issue sets a charged tone for the season ahead, with Cameron Stewart’s cover capturing the tension of a town on the edge.
