Life with Archie #24

Life with Archie #24 brings Riverdale's favorite redhead front and center, with Archie himself standing confidently outside Jughead's Chocklit Shoppe, his loosened tie giving him a relaxed, grown-up charm. Surrounding him are familiar faces — a dark-haired woman beaming with confidence, a blonde man posed against an American flag in what looks like a political moment, and a smaller figure with a red bandana — hinting at the rich, interconnected drama this mature take on the Archie universe is known for. With cover pencils and inks by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith, this 2012 installment promises all-new stories set in a Riverdale that's unmistakably more grown-up.
