The Fellowship has obtained the solicitations for Archie Comics that will come out May 2016...
BETTY: RIP Pt. 4, “The Trouble with Reggie.” The Horror
began in Riverdale when Reggie Mantle struck and killed Jughead’s beloved pooch
Hot Dog. Since then, Reggie has been living with this secret knowledge—and
terrible guilt. With no one to talk to about it, Reggie has started to crack
under the strain. He is seeing visions of his dead friends—or are they literal
ghosts? When an act of kindness prompts a confession from him, Reggie must
decide for himself, once and for all—is there any good within him? Or is
Reggie, as we’ve always suspected, beyond redemption? For TEEN+ Readers.

Sabrina has to face the Witches Council for an accusation
of conspiring with a mortal against the Church of Night. It will take a series
of unnatural tests to prove her innocence, but none of it will bring her
beloved Harvey back. She’ll have to take matters into her own hands to find
Harvey’s missing soul. Recruiting two other young witches (from a neighboring
coven), Sabrina holds a séance, but as ever, Madame Satan is pulling the
strings behind the scenes, and what Sabrina taps into is much more
dangerous—and diabolical. And will send our beloved teen witch on an epic
quest. For TEEN+ readers.
