Collecting issues from the 2010s run, it explores the married futures of Archie with both Betty and Veronica, showcasing the enduring drama and humor of the Riverdale gang as they navigate careers, family, and friendship.
In "Adventure, Ahoy!", Dilton Doiley introduces his latest creation—Robby, a towering, beeping robot capable of anything—only to have things go hilariously off track when Reggie loses the control mechanism. Now free to roam, Robby surprises everyone by embracing the rebellious spirit of a typical teenager, much to the shock of the Riverdale crew. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White, with lettering by Marty Epp and a cover by Samm Schwartz, this 2020 issue delivers a fresh, playful twist on classic Archie charm.
Archie and the gang trade Riverdale for a luxury cruise on Mr. Lodge’s yacht, but a sudden hurricane sends them scrambling for survival—now stranded on a remote desert island with nothing but their wits and each other.
In "A-Haunting We Will Go!", Archie and Jughead find themselves tangled in a spooky mystery when their prank on Moose takes a strange turn—real ghostly goings-on at the local haunted house have them questioning what’s just a scare and what’s something more. With the line between joke and real haunting blurring, the duo must unravel the truth behind the eerie happenings, one spooky clue at a time.
In "Robby the Robot!", Dilton’s latest invention—a towering, beeping robot capable of anything—takes a wild turn when Reggie accidentally loses its control mechanism. Now free to roam, Robby unexpectedly starts acting like a typical teenager, much to everyone’s surprise.
In "Beauty and the Judge!", Archie finds himself in a sticky situation as the judge for the Miss Riverdale pageant, caught between Betty and Veronica’s rivalry, Moose’s threatening demands to pick Midge, and a con man’s scheme to frame him for rejecting his fake contestant, Diana Petticote. With egos, grudges, and a very angry football player on the line, Archie’s trying to keep his head—and his ribs—intact.
In "Money Happy Returns!", Archie tries to convince Fred to up his allowance by proving how much more expensive dating is now than when Fred was his age—so Fred agrees to shadow Archie for a week, leading to a funny, eye-opening look at modern teen life through a dad's eyes.
Archie shows up at Mr. Lodge’s house with a schoolbook-laden briefcase, unaware he’s walking into a high-stakes standoff—just as Mr. Lodge’s guards are guarding a real fortune in a nearly identical case. The mix-up sets off a chain of escalating chaos, all while Archie tries to just get home in time for dinner.
Archie skips school to dodge giving a speech, but when Betty and Veronica catch wind, they leap to the conclusion he’s ditching for a secret rendezvous with the famously elusive Zsa Zsa Laverne. The resulting misunderstanding sends the two girls on a comedic chase, each convinced they’re the only one who truly understands Archie’s real intentions.
When Pop Tate injures himself dancing, Archie steps in to run the Choklit Shop—only to face a prank from Reggie that turns the vanilla ice cream into instant potatoes. The disastrous flavor drives every customer away, leaving the shop eerily quiet.
