Riverdale's "core four" -- Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica -- head to New York City for the weekend in a preview from Riverdale #8, in stores November 22 from Archie Comics.

The series, which is overseen by showrunner and Archie chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and set in the world of the hit CW series, may help contextualize some of what is going on in the TV show; it refers to Archie struggling to keep up with Veronica's "high society pals," one of whom will appear in upcoming episodes.

In the weeks to come, Graham Phillips will play Nick St. Clair, one of Veronica's old friends and flames whose family seemingly has some business ties to Hiram and Hermione.
