Betty and Veronica are friends forever, so when they step away from The Archies to form their own band, they’ll need a drummer to keep the beat going. Archie Comics is releasing Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Rock ‘n’ Roll in March which will introduce Jola Kitt and their band, Rock Candi.
“Rock Candi proves that girls can ROCK!” said writer/artist Holly G in a press release from Archie Comics. “No more tambourine shaking or backup vocals; these girls are shredding guitars, writing their own songs, and singing them. The story is more drama than comedy — it’s about not letting someone keep your light from shining, and how a band is supposed to support one another. I’m excited for more Rock Candi stories to come!”
In “Rock Candi,” The Archies have some competition when a new girl band, ROCK CANDI, enters the scene! But it’s not all sugar and spice and everything nice—Betty and Veronica are feeling torn about having to leave The Archies behind, but there’s way more of a musical future for them in Rock Candi, along with their drummer, new girl Jola Kitt. Do they have what it takes to rock all of Riverdale? Plus, more rockin’ stories of musical mayhem!
Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Rock ‘n’ Roll arrives on March 8, 2023.
