ARCHIE COMICS INVADES REALITY TV

ARCHIE COMICS INVADES REALITY TV

New York, NY (June 8, 2010): Archie Comics—publisher of the acclaimed graphic novel “The Archie Wedding” and Archie’s first ever full-sized magazine, “Life with Archie”—collides head-on with pop culture in two must-read parodies of reality TV! This summer, Archie, Betty, Veronica and their friends prove they’re the real deal with “Riverdale Shore” in ARCHIE & FRIENDS #145 and “Best Friends Forever,” part one of the four-part “Battle of the BFFs” series in BETTY #187.   

This July, the teens of “Riverdale Shore” party hearty like their “Jersey Shore” counterparts… but are “The Complication” (Reggie) and “Snookums” (Cheryl) any match for the super-coiffed and totally tanned TV stars next door? Then, this August, move over “Survivor” and “American Idol” – there’s a new game in town as Betty and Veronica compete in the ultimate TV challenge to be crowned the World’s Greatest “Best Friends Forever!”

Since word leaked of “Riverdale Shore,” Archie’s lampoon of “Jersey Shore,” the buzz has been bigger than Snooki’s hair! According to Mark Marino, he and his friends from StyleList are “all for the merging of the Riverdale and reality-show worlds!”

“Archie is American pop culture,” stated Co-CEO Jon Goldwater. “The whole gang is always deeply involved in what’s hot in current media and now Archie and his friends are the about to make a huge splash with Riverdale Shore and Battle of the BFFs!”
 
These latest TV tie-ins follow hot on the heels of Archie Comics’ wildly popular Archie-Valerie rockin’ romance mini-series and the announcement of the upcoming four-issue action-packed series, “Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E.”! Archie Comics continues to stay in step with teen and pre-teen culture, delivering provocative storylines and exciting new projects that reflect the poptastic world of today’s youth. Archie’s digital apps from iTunes continue to be top sellers and [a href="http://www.archiedigital.com"]ArchieComics.com[a] grows daily as a top internet destination for fans worldwide.

“RIVERDALE SHORE” appears in ARCHIE & FRIENDS #145, available 7/14/2010.



“Battle of the BFFs Part One: BEST FRIENDS FOREVER” appears in BETTY #187, available 8/4/2010.

I don't care for the show, but if it's given the Archie treatment, it might be worth a look!

Now that I think about it, I'm surprised Archie is parodying this show especially since it had so much sexual content to the show. I don't think we'll be seeing a Showgirls parody so why Jersey Shore? I guess since it's popular culture, Archie is taking it in, and not waiting a decade before jumping on the bandwagon.

i was surprised too. especially that show is very tacky. but then again i realized this probably a parody, and they would downgrade the sexual content. maybe they would make fun of the hair, the tans, and the beach life.

Archie Comics tries way too hard to stay relevant. I was ok with the Archie getting married thing, the Archie with Valerie thing, the new gay character, but the Jersey Shore is too much. By trying to include everything that becomes pop culture, Archie Comics is destroying the charm it used to have and alienating even more fans. STOP BEING SO DESPERATE!!! "Riverdale Shore" is the straw that broke this camel's back, and I am going to unlike this fan page, stop purchasing any new Archie products, and just stick with the older, classic Archies. BOO THIS COMPANY!!! Thank goodness for ebay and comic book stores that carry back issues because this is garbage that they're putting out today!

I'm inclined to disagree. I actually laughed out loud at Riverdale Shore XD

I so want this! Maybe I'll be lucky, and the Borders in Tampa will have one when I take my dad to the airport on August 2.

“Battle of the BFFs Part One: BEST FRIENDS FOREVER” appears in BETTY #187, available 8/4/2010.

Gah! Too late for me to pick up!




Betty Cooper + Cheryl Blossom. It's inevitable.

Just bought the Riverdale Shore book, and I thought it was hilarious.  WAY better than the TV show!  It gets really good once George makes his appearance!
