Exclusive Archie Comics Preview: Riverdale #7

09/21/2017 05:37 pm EDT

Archie Comics has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at Riverdale #7 from writers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Aaron Allen, Will Ewing and artists Thomas Pitilli, Andre Szymanowicz, and Janice Chang.

The issue is due in stores and online on October 18, but if you want to be sure you get a copy, reach out to your comic book retailer soon, as the final order cutoff for the first print is Monday.

The issue centers on Jughead and Dilton Doiley, and seems to set up some high stakes and anxiety for Dilton -- not too out of place right now, considering that season 2 of Riverdale seems to have most of its episodes named after slasher movies.

You can check the pages out in the attached image gallery and the official solicitation text below.

Riverdale returns to your TV on October 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

RIVERDALE #7


Dilton Doiley has always been a little…borderline, but when his science teacher tells the class about an astronomical event they'll be observing, Dilton's worst fears are confirmed—the end of the world is nigh! As he takes drastic steps to prepare, Jughead is caught in a dilemma—should he humor Dilton or try to stop him?

And what if Dilton's right…?
