The gang goes gaming in ARCHIE & FRIENDS: LEVEL UP!

Panel from an Archie Comics story. Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead have been transformed into pixelated versions of themselves similar to avatars in the Minecraft video game. Archie says, "Welcome to Crafty Miners! A sprawling, open world where you can do anything!"

Archie and the gang get crafty just in time for the Minecraft movie in this week’s special one-shot ARCHIE & FRIENDS: LEVEL UP!

Cover of ARCHIE & FRIENDS: LEVEL UP #1. Archie, Betty, and Veronica are video game characters inside a pixelated video game style fantasy world. A Pac-Man version of Jughead chomps stylized burgers, and various other popular video games are referenced with easter eggs, including Pokemon and Minecraft.When Archie gets everyone together to play Crafty Miners, a fun open world game where they can build whatever they want, things start off harmless enough. But that’s before Reggie gets involved! The crafty chaos goes down in “Servers You Right!” by Ian Flynn and Steven Butler!

And that’s just the start of a whole issue packed with 30 pages of video game antics, including the arcade classic “Joystick Jackpot” by George Gladir and Samm Schwartz which you can read in full below, right after the preview. Once you’re out of quarters (no one gets that reference, right??) you can get your own copy at your local comic shop!
