New Riverdale is the title used to refer to the relaunch of the core Archie Comics titles that began in July 2015.
In December 2014, Archie Comics announced that its flagship series Archie would relaunch with a new first issue in July 2015.[1] The new series would be a modern take on the Archie characters by writer Mark Waid and artist Fiona Staples, featuring serialized storylines.[2] After the first three issues, Annie Wu drew an issue, followed by new regular artist Veronica Fish.[3] The new title received IGN's "Best New Comic Series of 2015" award.[4]
In 2016 Archie Comics made a special edition of the first issue of the New Riverdale Archie series available as part of Free Comic Book Day.[5] For FCBD 2017, a special edition of the first issue of Betty and Veronica will be released.[6]
Titles
The first title in the company's "New Riverdale" universe, Archie was released with a July 2015 cover date and came in at #7 for comic book sales for the month.[7] The next title, Jughead, was released in October. In April 2015, Archie Comics announced Betty and Veronica which debuted in July 2016. Josie and the Pussycats, and Reggie and Me, a five-issue miniseries, followed in September and December 2016.[8]
Early issues of Archie and Jughead included reprints of early original stories featuring the characters, introduced by the series' contemporary writer. Later issues had material relating to the Riverdale TV show instead. Each issue typically has several variant covers.
Titles currently in production:
- Archie vol. 2 (July 2015– )

- Betty and Veronica vol. 3 (July 2016–)
- Josie and the Pussycats vol. 2 (September 2016–)

There is also a double-sized one-shot issue entitled Big Moose, which focuses on character Moose Mason, scheduled for release in April 2017.[9]
