This is it—the hottest comic of the summer, fresh out of the oven! The incomparable writer TOM KING (of the upcoming Archie movie!) teams up with legendary artist Dan Parent to present one of the wildest events to ever take place in the Archie Universe! Picture it: Riverdale, some year A.D. What was supposed to start out as a showcase of Jughead’s pie-eating skills morphed into the wildest food fight America—no, THE WORLD—has ever seen. Betty vs. Veronica (kind of), Reggie being… well, Reggie. Hot Dog lounging. Friends turned to enemies. Hearts broken. Crumbs everywhere. What’s to become of Riverdale? And will Jughead ever get to taste a sweet morsel of pie? All this AND a peek at Old Man Archie & Jughead. No matter what your favorite flavor is, this issue has something for you. Have a taste for yourself in JUGHEAD: PIEMAGGEDDON!
