EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob variant cover

‘Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob’ just got a little more like ‘Clerks’ with the new variant cover.

Courtesy of Archie Comics, AIPT can share an exclusive look at an as-yet-revealed Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob variant cover! This is a grayscale version of the main cover by Fernando Ruiz and Rich Koslowski, set up to look like the original Clerks movie poster.

You can purchase the variant when the comic releases on July 9th (or preorder with your comic book shop!).

So what’s Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob about?

SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES, ARCHIE FANS!! Yes, you read that right—acclaimed writer, director, actor, producer, and podcaster Kevin Smith takes the teens you know and love from Riverdale on the wildest ride of their lives. What’s supposed to be a summer job at Quick Stop for Archie Andrews turns into so much more; from a budding friendship with co-worker Randal Graves, crashing a Pussycats concert, a potential new love interest, Jay and Silent Bob being, well, Jay and Silent Bob, and a musical number that will be burned into your brain forever. Plus, could Jay and Silent Bob even help Archie to finally choose between Betty and Veronica? SNOOGANS!! Featuring legendary Archie artists Fernando Ruiz and inker Rich Koslowksi, this is a DOUBLE-SIZED, CAN’T-MISS event FOR MATURE AUDIENCES unlike anything we’ve ever done before!
