Archie Andrews has spent decades getting himself into trouble, and it usually doesn’t take much to bring his friends along for the ride. A plan goes wrong, someone makes a questionable decision, and suddenly Betty, Veronica, and Jughead have a whole new problem to deal with. Riverdale’s enduring appeal has always been how much comedy can come out of an ordinary day, especially when Archie is involved. Sometimes, all it takes is trying to give the dog a bath.

Oni Press’ new Archie series gives those familiar characters another opportunity to make a mess of things, with Ben H. Winters writing adventures that welcome readers back to town. The series has already paired Winters with Fábio Moon, and its rotating artistic talent offers different perspectives on a community fans know well. For its third issue, Nick Cagnetti, whose work includes Pink Lemonade and Spirit of the Shadows, joins Winters for an outing led by a member of Archie’s household who has absolutely no intention of following directions.

Collider can exclusively reveal the first look inside Archie #3, which arrives in comic shops on November 25, 2026. The issue follows Vegas, Archie’s dog, after he escapes his Saturday bath and sets off across Riverdale, leaving his owner scrambling to catch up. Betty, Moose, Reggie, Jughead, and Veronica all become involved in the pursuit, but adding more people to the chase doesn’t mean anyone has the situation under control.
