The book’s now on Comixology. They also have a three page preview that looks like a lot of fun.
It’s gotta be better than the stuff CM Punk writes.
Make Jughead look really strong.
WOW!! Backlund looks jacked!
LOL!
I thought Archie was dead, bravely taking a bullet for his gay friend? Or is that only in Riverdale Universe -2246?
The death happened in “Life With Archie” which explores alternate possible futures (what if Archie married Betty, what if Archie married Veronica, etc.) The story was actually written in an open-ended fashion that so we don’t know if the death story takes place in the Betty Future or the Veronica Future.
He is. They’re rebooting the franchise. Seriously.

I’ll read this. I like comics and I like wrestling. This actually looks like it might be cool. Archie’s quality has been suspect for years now, but their gimmick issues (like Archie vs. Predator) are usually pretty decent.
REGGIE! WORLD! ORDER!
From the previews, though, it’s just reprints of older stories that happened to be about wrestling…so, they’ve been running around before.
