sharknado

I'll be honest with you, folks: I have never seen any of the three (and counting) Sharknado films. This is not, I assure you, from lack of interest, as anything that can combine the destructive power of nature and the terrifying threat of sharks being whipped through the air is certainly something I want to see, but the point remains. I will tell you, though, that there's a pretty good chance that Archie vs. Sharknado is going to be the first comic I read this week. Not only does it hit the sweet spot of being one of Archie's increasingly frequent and increasingly bizarre crossovers, something that's produced more hits than misses in recent years, but it also has sweet, kindhearted Betty Cooper expressing sympathy for the sharknado, and a rarely seen reference to Josie and the Pussycats, the greatest comic book movie of all time. Check out a preview below!

Archie Comics has officially jumped the Sharknado. In an move that is absolutely not an April Fools' joke, because that was more than two weeks ago, Archie will be teaming up with the filmmakers behind the intentionally cheesy Sharknado movie series for a 48-page one shot titled Archie vs. Sharknado. The issue, co-written by Archie stalwart Dan Parent and Sharknado trilogy director Anthony C. Ferrante, and featuring art by Parent and Rich Koslowski, will come out July 22, the same day Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premieres on SyFy.
