Calling it now: this year’s San Diego Comic-Con is the year of the bonkers crossovers, and that continues with Archie Vs. The Terminator from Dynamite Entertainment, Archie Comics, and STUDIOCANAL.
Written by Rory McConville with art by Steven and Lily Butler, the five-issue miniseries kicks off this fall when John Conner enrolls in Riverdale High, with the Terminator hot on his tail.
“Archie crossovers hold a very special place in comics, so I’m thrilled to be writing the gang’s first (maybe last?!) encounter with The Terminator,” said McConville. via press release “Enrolling John Connor at Riverdale High felt like the perfect way to bring these two iconic franchises together and I can’t wait for readers to see what we have in store.”
Adding Steven Butler, “When I got the invite to draw the Archie vs. The Terminator mini-series, I was deeply honored and excited at the same time. I’ve always loved most the Archie stories that put the gang into some sort of overwhelming peril that they had to try to get themselves out of and now this mini-series gives us the opportunity to tell that kind of story I love so much! The icing on the cake is the fact that I get to work with my daughter Lily on this project — what more could a proud dad want?”
“This story marks my first time working for Dynamite, and working on a full miniseries,” said Lily Butler. “I’m super excited to be working on characters that I’m very familiar with like the Archie crew and other characters that are new to me. I think we’re working up a really cool project and I’m excited for everyone to see!”
Archie Vs. The Terminator will feature covers by Francesco Francavilla, Robert Hack, Björn Barends, and Bill Galvan, as well as the no requisite blind bag. You can check out the covers and some designs for the characters, below.
