"California Dreaming, Part Two"

Last issue, the news of Archie and his friends’ worldwide, mystery-solving adventures led to a major movie contract and a trip to Tinseltown! While at a swank Hollywood party, the gang is kidnapped along with dozens of celebrity guests, and trapped in a ballroom with wall-to-wall food! That may be fine for Jughead, but the others are determined to break both themselves and their famous fellow prisoners free. The crazy climax features a thrilling "cat and costumed mouse" chase as the teens pursue the lead culprit racing through the Catalina Comic Convention! It’s one explosive finish (did we mention the fireworks?) you can’t afford to miss!

"A Tune in Tinsel Town"

Now that the smoke has cleared and all the bad guys have been dispatched, Archie and his friends can finally concentrate on the film deal that brought them to Hollywood in the first place. Citing the Archie's popularity and the high profile of their adventures in Europe and Africa, a big-time Hollywood producer is certain the teens' notoriety will translate to box office gold and plans to star them in a series of movies called "Mayhem Musical High." Now that they've saved half of Hollywood's biggest stars (see issue 122), the kids are even hotter properties! Along with that red-hotness comes offers of solo contracts for the players. Will visions of individual fame and fortune strike a sour chord with the band, or can the Archies' love of music and friendship ultimately overcome ego and greed?

"Freshman Year: Winter Term"

In the tradition of Batman: Year One and Marvel's The Ultimates comes the biggest Archie Comics event since the "Love Showdown!" Archie reflects on the term just past, pining over Veronica and lamenting how she went away during the holiday break. Hoping to stay close to Veronica, Archie joins the drama club – the perfect indoor activity during the frosty winter months. But being part of such a large club is hardly the way to gain exclusive quality time with Veronica. Will their reunion be everything Archie hopes, or will the eternal love triangle get off to a rollicking start with friction between Betty and Veronica instead? And will Moose ever be introduced to Midge? Other surprises in store for the gang this second term include some new faculty members as well as the departure of the expelled school bully, Jared McGerk. It's the funniest first year of high school ever, courtesy of fan-favorite writer Batton Lash of Wolff & Byrd and Archie Meets the Punisher, along with Scrapyard Detectives creator Bill Galvan!
