Riverdale #3

Tied directly to the CW's hit series, Riverdale #3 brings all the drama of Archie Comics' Riverdale to the page with a cover by Francesco Francavilla that lays out the show's central tensions in a single striking image — a vivid pink acoustic guitar set against a Riverdale Bulldogs football helmet, their neck and face mask locked together against a warm retro sunburst background. It's a quietly confident visual shorthand for music versus athletics, artistry versus ambition, rendered in Francavilla's bold, graphic style. Inside, writer Will Ewing and artist Thomas Pitilli take on "Wild Things," keeping the small-town intrigue humming for fans of the series.
