Archie Coming to Twilight City in Archie vs. Minor Threats

MILWAUKIE, Ore. — Dark Horse presents Archie vs. Minor Threats, a new crossover comic miniseries featuring Twilight City’s favorite villains and Riverdale’s favorite teenagers. Timmy Heague (Archie Comics’ Fear the Funhouse: Toybox of Terror, Black, White, & Bloodshot) joins Patton Oswalt (Minor Threats, DC Horror Presents) and Jordan Blum (M.O.D.O.K.: Head Games, DC Horror Presents) on writing duties, and artist Scott Koblish (Deadpool, Superman: Legion of Three Worlds), colorist Hi-Fi (Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow), and letterer Nate Piekos (Black Hammer: Spiral City, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion) round out the talented creative team.

Issue #1 will be available with six different covers illustrated by the all-star lineup of Scott Hepburn, Scott Koblish, Joe Quinones, Patrick Horvath, Dan Parent, and Mike Allred.

It’s your favorite high schoolers forced to fight your favorite costumed villains in a story that will have lasting ramifications for all involved! Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and friends are on their way to Twilight City for a field trip when the magical meddling of Sabrina the Teenage Witch lands them in the seedy underbelly of Redport, the most villainous part of town, which is controlled by Frankie Follis, aka Playtime, and her gang of Minor Threats. Archie and the others suddenly find themselves drafted into both sides of the war Playtime is waging against magic users on her turf. One thing is for sure: blood and milkshakes will be spilled!

“Some of my favorite comic crossovers have been the ones where you go “how the hell is that gonna work?!,” said Jordan Blum. “Which, by the way, is the appropriate response to pitting the all-American teenagers of Archie against the down on their luck supervillains of Minor Threats. What was born out of this unlikely pairing was a story that dramatically affects the events of Frankie’s journey and super crime for years to come, while also exploring unique character dynamics that challenge the Riverdale gang’s status quo like we’ve never seen. This is one of the funniest, most action-packed, most violently unhinged stories we’ve ever done and one that can only exist in the medium of comics. Put on your domino masks and raise your milkshakes… this one is gonna be a barn burner!”

“Not since Alan Moore’s Watchmen crossed over with Bazooka Joe has there been a comics match-up as made in heaven as this one!,” said Patton Oswalt. “Prepare to be transported.”

“When I write comics set in the town of Riverdale, it’s like hanging with my friends,” said Timmy Heague. “Now I’m writing the adventures of my favorite fictional friends with my best friends Jordan and Patton, where their comic book creations get to crossover with some of my all-time favorite characters in all of comic book history. For my first four issue mini-series, I couldn’t ask for anything more. Also, Scott Koblish on art?! Riverdale and Twilight City are not ready for the mind-blowing awesomeness that he is cooking on these pages! Archie and the gang are NOT ready. Anyway, someone got a milkshake and a burger? All this comic stuff makes a guy hungry!”

“This is one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I’ve ever attempted!,” said Scott Koblish. “I’m really excited to be working with Patton, Jordan, Timmy, Hi-Fi and all the incredibly supportive folks at Dark Horse and Archie who are encouraging me to take my art to the next level on something truly unique!! Strap in, the thrusters are set to reach the stars on this one!!!”

The gang gets together on August 6, 2025 when Archie vs. Minor Threats #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops. It is now available for pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.
