Jonathan Merrifield at the Riverdale Podcast aired its third "Welcome to Riverdale: The Official Archie Comics YouTube Show" earlier today. He introduced the comic books that Archie Comics will be publishing later this week, but he also relayed several questions to Archie Comics SVP of Publicity and Marketing Alex Segura.
Here was my favorite question: "I would love to learn more about the 'Kevin Keller' relaunch for next year."
Alex relayed the following piece of Dan Parent art featuring an older, hairier version of Kevin Keller.
Not much more was revealed, though Dan Parent noted that Kevin "and the gang" will be a few years older in the new series.
I've speculated in the past that this could be a story about Kevin's army years, as well as Clay's introduction to his life. But then my friend Jimmy pointed out that he's awful shaggy to be in the military. Maybe it's "Kevin Keller Goes to College??"
I can only speculate, but I'm really excited to see this bit of artwork. There is always a nagging concern in the back of my head that the new "Kevin" series will just fade away over time. This shows continued interest by the company to keep Kevin around -- which is pretty awesome!
