A comics crossover event between the hit Minor Threats series by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn with the perennial favorite Archie series.
Not a hoax! Not a dream! The fun-loving teens of Riverdale collide with the crooked super-criminals of Twilight City in the most bombastic crossover of the year!
It's your favorite high-schoolers forced to fight your favorite costumed villains in a story that will have lasting ramifications on all involved!
Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead and friends are on a field trip to Twilight City when the magical meddling of Sabrina the Teenage Witch lands them in the seedy underbelly of Redport, the most villainous part of town 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 in her turf. One thing is for sure...blood and milkshakes will be spilled!
Prepare to see these characters like you’ve never seen them before in a high stakes epic that turns heroes into villains and villains into…students of Riverdale High?! How they let us get away with this, beats us but whatever you do, don’t let your parents catch you reading this humorous, horrific, and heart-pounding piece of sequential art!
Written by Minor Threats co-creators Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum with Timmy Heague (Archie Comics) and art by Scott Koblish (Deadpool).

"Minor Threats is exactly what one would expect from Patton Oswalt—it's intelligent, funny, and twisted. I’m also worried about him."—Judd Apatow
"Minor Threats is a hardcore blast from the bad brain of Patton Oswalt. I love the full-on collision of his grimy, superhero underworld; with eye-poppingly gorgeous splash pages of art by Scott Hepburn. A naughty peek under the cape that you'll devour like contraband.”—Edgar Wright
“Smart, sharp world building about someone looking to be better than they are, better than where they’re from, better than who they were supposed to be. All rendered beautifully by Scott and Ian doing some of their finest work. Oh, and the supervillains? More celebration than deconstruction. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Frankie.”—Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, Batman: Gates of Gotham)
“A giddy romp through the filthy back alleys of super hero town. Patton and Jordan lovingly subvert the capes genre.”— Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Deadly Class)
