Fans have been clamoring for a television crossover bringing the worlds of Riverdale and Greendale ever since The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina name-dropped Archie and his friend’s hometown. And while we may still be a ways away from such a crossover happening on television, over in the world of the comics, Archie and Sabrina are definitely bringing their personal worlds together, if you get our meaning.
In Archie #701, the Riverdale gang is getting back into the groove of high school life after summer vacation, but it appears everyone’s favorite teenage witch and Riverdale High’s most popular student have had a summer fling. How is Archie going to explain his new magical girlfriend to Betty and Veronica?
