From kissasylum [excerpt], The Archie characters have survived a lot in their more than 70 years of publication, but things in Riverdale are sure to get interesting in November.
KISS is coming to town.
"It's the biggest band in rock history crossing paths with Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and Sabrina," said Alex Segura, who's writing the four-issue story with art by Dan Parent. "Two major pieces of Americana joining forces for the first time."
It may seem like an odd pairing, to put the milkshake-sipping teens from Archie with a hard-rocking band like KISS. But the story, which begins in Archie #627, sees Riverdale invaded by monsters from another dimension. Their presence makes the town ripe for a visit by the KISS personas: Demon, Starchild, Spaceman and Catman.
"The Riverdale gang are looking to cast a protection spell to protect the town before Halloween," Segura said. "Of course, that means Sabrina is coordinating things. But when the spell goes awry and a cabal of dangerous monsters appear, who's going to stop them? Enter KISS. Can the Archies team up with the rock legends in time to save the town from the legion of monsters? Stay tuned. Oh, and zombies. There'll be zombies."

ha! i'm actually really excited by this! Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes and Archie were my intro to comics.... and KISS is friggin' sweet!
I think Alex Segura's might offend Beatles and Rolling Stones fans who think they classify as rock bands.... I'm just saying, thems fighting words Alex
Who are these Kiss folks now? Some sort of musical troupe?
My favorite part of the article is "It may seem like an odd pairing, ... but the story sees Riverdale invaded by monsters from another dimension." Ah, monsters from another dimension, the second most popular quick-fix narrative device after "and then I woke up."
Tami you're cool!
My favorite part of that article was "I remember the first dance I ever went to, in eighth grade, I danced to Beth and I kid you not, the girl I danced with was named Beth too."
