About Archie vs. Minor Threats:
When Sabrina the Teenage Witch hijacks a Riverdale field trip to Twilight City to recover a magical artifact, she accidentally lands Archie, Betty, Veronica and Reggie in the costumed criminal underworld led by Playtime and Scalpel. These innocent teens are mistaken for supervillain henchmen and enlisted in Playtime's current war on magic against Top Hat, a mysterious figure from Frankie's past. Meanwhile a starving Jughead and Josie and the Pussycats head to Bite Burger where they encounter Barfly's punk rocker fly $#*@eater—are we about to witness the birth of a supergroup?! The series tells a classic Archie story (Archie breaks bad to impress the girls) while unveiling a can't miss chapter in Playtime's greater journey that will have ramifications in the Minor Threats books for years. From Salem the Cat to Crab Louie this crossover features all the fan favorite characters from both universes.
