About the series
From 2015 to 2017, Archie Comics reimagined the classic hero The Shield in a four-issue series, written primarily by Adam Christopher and Chuck Wendig with art by Drew Johnson, Al Barrionuevo, and David Williams. This modern take follows Victoria Adams, the latest bearer of the shield, as she navigates a gritty, espionage-tinged world of super-soldier intrigue. The series stands out for grounding its patriotic icon in a darker, more complex narrative, offering a fresh perspective on a Golden Age character while expanding Archie’s superhero line.
