CRUSADERS ASSEMBLE! ARCHIE One-Shot Features Virtually Every Superhero in Company History

EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK! Introducing PoolNoodle, Archie’s answer to Deadpool!

Archie Comics always has its pulse on the zeitgeist and with Deadpool and Wolverine the most-anticipated superhero flick of the summer, the publisher is answering the call with Archie & Friends: Blockbuster Movies. The one-shot satirizes tentpole movies, especially those that feature capes and tights, and stars virtually every super in the company arsenal, from the MLJ Golden Agers to their legacy successors to Pureheart the Powerful.

As if that’s not enough, the issue introduces PoolNoodle, Archie Comics’ decidedly less lethal but no less subversive version of Deadpool:

We’ve got an EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK for you, as well as the solicitation info, in case you missed it the first time around. The 32-page, full-color ish is out June 5 and runs $3.99.

Dig some story pages as well as features on PoolNoodle his own bad self:
