EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: The Archies Are Short Two Bandmates In ‘Archie Jumbo Comics Digest’ #363

It would appear Betty and Veronica have no regrets about leaving The Archies. Having joined Jola Kitt’s band, Rock Candi, in Betty & Veronica Friends Forever: Rock & Roll, Betty and Veronica are over singing “Sugar, Sugar” and ready to pursue their songwriting dreams in a band where such dreams are supported. That leaves Archie and Reggie with a problem, though, in writer-artist Dan Parent‘s new story for the Archie Jumbo Comics Digest. With inks by Bob Smith, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli, here’s a sneak peek at how their band auditions are going in this EXCLUSIVE preview from Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #363:

Brand New Story! The Archies are getting some competition from rival band Rock Candi — especially now that Betty and Veronica have joined their ranks! Archie and Reggie will do whatever it takes to be the best band on the beach, but can anyone really replace B&V?

Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #363 goes on sale August 6th. The FOC date is July 7th.
