Archie Andrews and company are heading into their latest crossover adventure when The Terminator sets its sights on Riverdale High’s newest pupil, the teenage John Connor, in the five issue limited series Archie vs. The Terminator from Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics.
“Archie crossovers hold a very special place in comics, so I’m thrilled to be writing the gang’s first (maybe last?!) encounter with The Terminator,” said writer Rory McConville. “Enrolling John Connor at Riverdale High felt like the perfect way to bring these two iconic franchises together and I can’t wait for readers to see what we have in store.”
“When I got the invite to draw the Archie vs. The Terminator mini-series, I was deeply honored and excited at the same time,” said artist Steven Butler. “I’ve always loved most theArchiestories that put the gang into some sort of overwhelming peril that they had to try to get themselves out of and now this mini-series gives us the opportunity to tell that kind of story I love so much! The icing on the cake is the fact that I get to work with my daughter Lily on this project — what more could a proud dad want?”
“This story marks my first time working for Dynamite, and working on a full miniseries,” added artist Lily Butler. “I’m super excited to be working on characters that I’m very familiar with like the Archie crew and other characters that are new to me. I think we’re working up a really cool project and I’m excited for everyone to see!”
Archie vs. The Terminator will launch this October.
