Oni Press reveals more details on their new Archie Comics line

Ben H. Winters joins Fábio Moon on the flagship ‘Archie’ title in a lineup that also includes new ‘Sabrina’ and ‘Archie in Hell’ series launching this fall.

Oni Press has shared more details on their upcoming Archie Comics line, including a change to the creative team on the Archie title.

When Oni and Archie Comics announced their partnership last year, W. Maxwell Prince was named as the writer on Archie. The series will now be written by Ben H. Winters, best known for his Last Policeman novels and for creating and showrunning CBS’s Tracker. Winters made his comics debut on Oni’s EC Comics line with Cruel Universe in 2024, followed by the miniseries Benjamin in 2025. He joins the art team of Fábio Moon and Nick Cagnetti, along with cover artist Stuart Immonen.

“What an extraordinary honor it is to write these stories,” Winters said. “And more importantly, what a total blast. Archie Andrews is an honest-to-goodness American icon, right up there with Mickey Mouse and Bart Simpson…and just like them, he’s enterprising, curious and kind, forever bouncing into some new adventure along with his loyal pals. I’m finding these characters delightful to write, for the same reason people have enjoyed reading Archie lo these many years — Riverdale’s just a fun place to hang out.”
