Archie Announces Reggie Ongoing Series

This week Archie announced a new ongoing series centered on our favorite villain of Riverdale, Reggie Mantle. The series, called Reggie and Me, will hit stands in December. The title will be written by comic book veteran Tom DeFalco (Spider-Girl) and pencilled by Sandy Jarrell (Bombshells). Archie will also release an 80 page special collecting old Reggie stories to get readers prepared for this new title. Here is what the Archie December Solicits said about the first issue of the series:

REGGIE AND ME #1 There is no one more loved, revered, admired and adored in Riverdale than… Reggie Mantle? Well, at least Reggie doesn’t think there’s anyone as loved and admired as himself. And his best friend can back that idea up—his best friend, of course, being his dog, Vader. The unstoppable duo is known around town for pulling the funniest pranks, getting the hottest dates and throwing the best parties. And if anyone even dares to compete with them, there is going to be hell to pay. Come take a look at the life of your hero, the handsome, hilarious Reggie Mantle. Script: Tom DeFalco Art: Sandy Jarrell, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Jack Morelli 32-page, full color comic $3.99 U.S.
