ARCHIE IS MR. JUSTICE #4 hits your local comic book store on May 21st, but thanks to Marvel Comics, Monkeys Fighting Robots has an exclusive six-page preview for you!
About the issue:
This is it—the heart-wrenching conclusion to the epic four-part series is here.
We finally get the perspective of Archie’s lifelong friend-turned-enemy Reggie Mantle. What went wrong that sent these two young men on such different paths? And can the power of jealousy, resentment, and fear be the most destructive of all?
The issue is by writer Blake Howard and artist Federico Sabbatini, with colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli. The main cover is by Reiko Murakami, and there will be two variant covers: one by Wilfredo Torres & Matt Herms, and the other by Matt Talbot.
Hear what the creators have to say about the issue:
Writer Blake Howard: “I am a huge fan of ‘Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow’ by Alan Moore — when the project was pitched, it was very much presented as such, a retrospective on how the lives of the people of Riverdale were all affected by Mr. Justice. It is a beautiful yet bittersweet story, and being responsible for the climax of that was a rather daunting task. I can only hope the finale packs as much of a punch for you as it did for me!”
Artist Federico Sabbatini: “The path Reggie takes is really interesting and Blake was skillful in telling us readers all the key passages to emphasize with him. Growing up knowing that Reggie made such a big mistake and living in the shadow of Mr. Justice made it a big challenge for me, to bring that kind of feeling and emotion into the drawing. One of my favorite scenes is undoubtedly when Reggie is offered a chance to finally be Mr. Justice’s equal; Reggie’s last moments of humanity before the genesis of Kid Wicked was completed.”
