Archie Comics is now finding inspiration in Riverdale

The New York Times

The Archie comic book series returns in November with a new creative team that will take some cues from The CW series. “Archie Comics has a long, proud history,” says new writer Nick Spencer. “I don’t want to blow things up or do anything that would upset the long-term audience. It’s more like finding some conflicts that have some stakes, upping the drama level a little bit.” But the Archie Comics makeover won't be as out there as the TV series. “There is no mature reader’s label on this book,” adds Spencer. “I have a pretty decent sense of what I can get away with.”
