During their adventures on the road they will meet with other real-life bands, the very first being CHVRCHES who will make a cameo towards the end of issue #2 and then become mentors to The Archies in issue #3. Betty and Veronica will encounter some real-life experiences very similar to those faced by CHVRCHES’ lead singer Lauren Mayberry. Below is an excerpt that can be read in full from MTV News.
"Lauren handles everything from hecklers at the shows to the way the press portrays her with such grace and such skill and is still a badass front woman who is always putting the focus on the music and on her band," co-writer Matt Rosenberg said.
The Archies #1 hits comic book stores on October 4th with issue #2 due out on November 8th. Watch the official announcement of CHVRCHES’ appearance in the video below.
