Move over, Riverdale, there's a new Archie property to lampoon pop culture using the classic gang of characters. The hit webcomic Bite Sized Archie is getting a collected edition that's sure to tickle the funny bone of any generation of fan.

For as long as Archie and his pals have been around, they've been cracking wise and parodying the state of comics, television shows and movies. The all-American teens have satirized melodramatic, young-adult dramas, the zombie craze, superheroes, multiverses and outlandish crossovers and that's just in the last few years. Archie's strangest comic was even a Predator crossover. The cast of Archie serve as a tool that creative teams can endlessly apply to any property or format to create an homage that pays tribute while also getting a few ribs in. Whether they're fighting Predator or meeting their Riverdale selves, humor is always around for whatever hijinks the Archie gang gets up to.
