Kevin Keller may be new to Riverdale, but the boy has excellent taste in his pop culture. But what would bring a real-world TV and film legend to the microcosm of Riverdale, USA? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Archie Comics sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the collected stories of Kevin Keller in Kevin Keller: Welcome to Riverdale.
I’m pleasantly surprised to find Archie Comics remaining on the cutting edge of pop culture and issue awareness these days, and their profile is about to be raised a little higher come November, as Kevin Keller meets Star Trek icon and activist George Takei! In Kevin Keller #6, Kevin comes face-to-face with his lifelong hero, and I have to say that George looks awesome Archie-style. After KISS, President Obama and Captain Sulu, who will be the next to hit Riverdale? (Fingers crossed for a Katy Perry/Josie and the Pussycats crossover!)
UPDATE: Take the jump for the full cover image and solicitation information.
Archie Comics will have five unique convention covers that will exclusive to this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego, California. The company sent Major Spoilers a first look at the cover for New Crusaders, Life with Archie, Mega Man, and Sonic Universe.
We haven’t been writing too often about books selling out at the distributor level, but the news that Archie Comics’ Life With Archie #16 – The Wedding of Kevin Keller selling out is kind of a big deal.

Archie Comics made headlines when it introduced the first openly gay character to the Archie Universe, and again when fans learned he served in the military. Now Archie gets everyone’s attention again by announcing Kevin Keller is getting married.
The New York Times is reporting that Archie Comics will give Kevin Keller, the company’s openly gay character, an ongoing series beginning in 2012.
The series, titled Kevin Keller, will follow a four-issue mini-series starring Kevin that began in July and has started filling out his background, including his relationship with his father, who serves in the military and is supportive of his son’s desire to follow in his footsteps. Like those for the other Archie characters, Kevin’s series will deal with his life in high school.
According to Dan Parent, the creator of Kevin, the student will expand his role at Riverdale High by becoming the class president, and deal with even more adversity than before. There are also plans to incorporate Kevin into the Life with Archie series, taking a look at Kevin’s relationships down the road.
More news about Kevin, and the rest of the Archie gang should be forthcoming at the Archie Panel taking place this weekend at CCI: San Diego.
