Meet Murder Hornet in this preview of ‘Archie Jumbo Comics Digest’ #357

Check out an exclusive preview of a new story coming in next week’s digest from Archie Comics.

Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2025 with an exclusive preview, courtesy of our friends at Archie Comics. This one’s for a new story appearing in Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #357, which will arrive in stores Jan. 8.

The story will feature the first appearance of the villainous Murder Hornet — if you thought you were safe from them, America, think again. This one has his sights set on a flower show in Riverdale, and it’s up to Pureheart, The Fly and Fly Girl to save the day. Dan Parent writes and draws Murder Hornet’s debut, working with inker Bob Smith, colorist Glenn Whitmore and letterer Jack Morelli on the story.

Check out the preview, along with concept art and a complete classic Archie story from the digest, below.
