Archie: IT STARTED
WHEN I HELPED DILTON
TEST HIS NEW TIME BELT.

WHOA!

Archie: TOO BAD THE TEST
WAS A DISASTER.

I WAS OK, BUT MY WHOLE BODY

WAS INFUSED WITH
CHRONO-PHASEOTRONS

THAT MADE ME IMMUNE
TO ANY CHANGES IN
THE TIME CONTINUUM.

THEN DILTON BUILT A SAFER
TIME-TRAVELING DEVICE.

Dilton:
THE CHRONO-FIELD
GENERATOR.

Archie: BUT FINNEY WELLS
STOLE IT FROM DILTON

AND TRIED TO USE IT
TO ROB THE RIVERDALE BANK.

I USED DILTON'S TIME BELT
TO STOP FINNEY

AND SNATCH BACK
THE CHRONO-FIELD GENERATOR.

THE POLICE
TOOK FINNEY TO JAIL.

I THOUGHT MY TIME TRAVEL
TROUBLES WERE OVER.

LITTLE DID I KNOW THEY
WERE JUST BEGINNING.

Finney: THIS IS
ARCHIE ANDREW'S FAULT.

NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES,
I'M GONNA MAKE HIM PAY.

Man: I'VE HAD TO WAIT 30 YEARS,

BUT I DON'T SEE WHY YOU
HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG.

WHOA! WHO ARE YOU, DUDE?

I'M YOU 30 YEARS
IN THE FUTURE.

TAKE MY HAND, AND I'LL
GET YOU OUT OF THIS JAIL.

THEN WE CAN GET OUR REVENGE
ON ARCHIE ANDREWS.

ALL RIGHT, DUDE!

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

WHERE DID HE GO?

AHA!

A POSTCARD FROM AREA 51.

"PLENTY OF CHEERLEADERS
HERE ON EARTH.

WILL RETURN WITH AS MANY
AS I CAN KIDNAP."

NOT IF I CAN HELP IT.

I HAVE YOU NOW!

YOU MIGHT AS WELL
COME ON OUT.

I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE,

YOU CHEERLEADER-KIDNAPPING
MARTIAN CREEP.

Voice: BUT MARS NEEDS
CHEERLEADERS.

ALL OF OUR MARTIAN ATHLETIC
FEATS OF DARING DO

HAVE GONE UNCHEERED
FOR CENTURIES.

FORGET IT.
ALL OUR CHEERLEADERS

ARE GOING TO STAY
RIGHT HERE ON EARTH
WERE THEY'RE NEEDED.

YOU'RE RIGHT, EARTHLING.

ENSLAVING CHEERLEADERS FOR
OUR SPORTING EVENTS IS WRONG.

OUR ANCIENT CIVILIZATION
LOST SIGHT OF WHAT
IS TRULY IMPORTANT.

IT HAS?

PITY US!

WE'LL NEVER AGAIN HAVE
CHEERS TO INSPIRE OUR ATHLETES.

[SOBS]

UH, MAYBE
YOU CAN JUST HIRE

SOME EARTH CHEERLEADERS
OVER SUMMER VACATION.

I--HA HA HA--

I--HA HA HA HA--

I--

I CAN'T KEEP THIS UP ANYMORE
WITHOUT LAUGHING.

[LAUGHS]

SOMEONE TURN ON THE LIGHTS!

WHA?

[ALL LAUGHING]

[LAUGHS]

MARS NEEDS CHEERLEADERS.

[LAUGHS]

BOY, DID I HAVE
YOU GOING.

[LAUGHS]

ARCHIE, YOU SHOULD
HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE.

THIS HAS TO BE
THE BEST PRACTICAL
JOKE OF ALL TIME.

REGGIE, YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO EMBARRASS ME IN FRONT
OF THE ENTIRE CLASS.

OH, I DIDN'T JUST
EMBARRASS YOU IN FRONT
OF THE ENTIRE CLASS,

I BROADCAST
THE WHOLE THING

OVER THE SCHOOL'S PUBLIC
ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEM.

[LAUGHS]

I FEEL EVER SO MUCH BETTER.

OH, MY!
HA HA HA!

SOMETIMES
I JUST KILL ME.

[LAUGHS]

I UNDERSTAND THE IMPULSE.

[LAUGHING]

HA HA. LAUGH IT UP, GUYS.

[LAUGHING]

ARCHIE ANDREWS!HUH?

WE'VE HAD IT WITH YOU.

HI, BETTY.
HI, VERONICA.

DON'T YOU "HI, BETTY,
HI, VERONICA" US!

YEAH. VERONICA
AND I HAVE BEEN
TALKING WITH REGGIE,

AND HE HELPED US
FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU'VE
BEEN DOING TO US.

UH, AND THAT IS?

DON'T PLAY INNOCENT.

YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING.

REGGIE EXPLAINED
IT ALL TO US.

YOU'VE BEEN
PLAYING THE TWO OF US
AGAINST EACH OTHER

FOR YOUR OWN
FOOLISH MALE EGO.

BUT NO MORE.

WE'RE PUTTING AN END
TO IT RIGHT NOW.

WE DEMAND
YOU MAKE A DECISION.

WHICH ONE OF US IS GOING
TO BE YOUR STEADY GIRLFRIEND?

HUH?

BUT YOU'RE BOTH
SO APPEALING.

CHOOSE!

NOW!

UH, COULDN'T I JUST
GET BACK TO YOU
OVER THE WEEKEND?

I'M STUCK!

[LAUGHING]

WHAT'S THE MATTER, ROMEO?

TROUBLE WITH
THE LADIES, HMM?

REGGIE, WHY ARE YOU
CAUSING ME SO MUCH TROUBLE?

BECAUSE YOU'RE
A UNENDING SOURCE
OF AMUSEMENT.

YOU'RE THE MIRTH
OF THE NATION.

[LAUGHS] TA, FOR NOW.

[LAUGHING]GET ME OUT OF HERE!

ARCHIE JUST ORDERED
THIS FOR YOU.

A HAMBURGER FOR ME?!

WHAT A THOUGHTFUL
FRIEND.

I TRIED CALLING BOTH
BETTY AND VERONICA.

NEITHER ONE
WILL TAKE MY CALLS.

I KEEP TELLING YOU, ARCH,
THE ONLY WAY TO HANDLE WOMEN

IS TO HAVE IMPOSSIBLY
HIGH STANDARDS LIKE ME.

YEAH, BUT YOU NEVER
HAD A DATE IN YOUR
ENTIRE LIFE.

AND I'M HAPPIER FOR IT.

WHY CAN'T
I MAKE UP MY MIND?

IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER
FOR MY PARENTS.

THEY WERE BOTH
WAITING FOR FRIENDS

OUTSIDE THE RIVERDALE
MOVIE THEATER.

WHEN THEY LOOKED INTO
EACH OTHER'S EYES,

THEY KNEW THEY WERE
MEANT FOR EACH OTHER.

I LOVE THAT STORY...

ALMOST AS MUCH AS I LOVE
BITING INTO A NICE, JUICY,
100%, ALL-BEEF BURGER.

BLAH! WHAT IN THE NAME
OF ALL THAT'S GOOD
AND SWEET IN THE WORLD

IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE?

HUH?

A VEGGIE BURGER?

YOU MADE ME BREAK MY VOW
TO NEVER EAT VEGETABLES.

HOW COULD YOU?

ME? WHAT DID I DO?

YOU ORDERED ME
A VEGGIE BURGER.

FRIENDS DON'T LET OTHER
FRIENDS EAT VEGETABLES.

I FEEL SO BETRAYED.

BUT I DIDN'T--

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

I JUST CAN'T TALK
WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, ARCHIE,

I'M TOO UPSET.

HA HA HA HA!

OH, THAT
IS TOO SWEET!

ANOTHER CLASSIC
REGGIE MANTLE
PRACTICAL JOKE.

THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT!

SO I'M A CONSTANT SOURCE
OF AMUSEMENT FOR YOU?

HEY, ARCHIE,
IT'S ALL IN FUN.
IT'S JUST FOR LAUGHS.

JUST YOU WAIT.

I'M GOING TO GET YOU, REGGIE.[TELEPHONE RINGS]

IT COULD HAPPEN TODAY
OR TOMORROW OR NEXT YEAR,

BUT I WILL GET YOU.

TELEPHONE, ARCHIE.

WE'LL SEE WHO'S LAUGHING
WHEN I GET MY REVENGE.

HELLO?
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

Archie:
SO HOW DID
FINNEY ESCAPE?

LISTEN TO WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN I TAKE A READING
WITH MY TEMPORAL SCANNER.

THIS ENTIRE RIVERDALE JAIL

HAS HIGH TRACES OF
TEMPORAL-PHASED ENERGY.

SOMEONE USED
A TIME-TRAVEL DEVICE
TO HELP FINNEY ESCAPE.

OH, NO!

NOT TIME TRAVEL
AGAIN.

I HATE TIME TRAVEL.

WE'RE FACING
INCREDIBLE DANGERS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE TIME CONTINUUM
IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE.

ONE LITTLE CHANGE
IN THE PAST,

AND THE ENTIRE COURSE
OF HISTORY MIGHT CHANGE.

OR WORSE, NO ONE WOULD
REALIZE HISTORY HAD CHANGED.

ONLY THE TIME TRAVELERS
THEMSELVES

WOULD REMEMBER THE WAY
THING WERE ORIGINALLY.

SO WHAT CAN I DO?

YOUR BODY IS STILL RADIATED
WITH THE CHRONO-PHASEOTRONS

FROM OUR FIRST TEST
WITH THE TIME BELT.

SO?

THIS MEANS YOU'LL BE IMMUNE
TO ANY TIME SHIFTS.

YOU'LL STILL REMEMBER THE WAY
THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH
HISTORY CHANGES.

SO I CAN GO BACK IN TIME
AND STOP FINNEY FROM
CHANGING THE PAST.

COME ON.
LET'S GO TO THE LAB

AND GET THE CHRONO-FIELD
GENERATOR

HUH?

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT WAS WHAT?

OH, NO!

I THINK FINNEY HAS
ALREADY CHANGED HISTORY.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

BECAUSE MY CAR
DEFINITELY WASN'T PINK
WHEN I PARKED IT.

I WONDER WHAT ELSE
HAS CHANGED.

WHY DON'T WE JUST TRASH
ARCHIE'S CAR OR SOMETHING?

ALL THIS HISTORY
STUFF IS BORING.

I DIDN'T SPEND 30 YEARS
IN JAIL FOR NOTHING.

PLOTTING MY REVENGE
ON ARCHIE,

THIS IS A VERY
CLEVER PLAN.

IT'S A VERY BORING PLAN.

I WANT ARCHIE TO SUFFER.

NOW GO BACK INTO
THE PAST AND DO
WHAT I TOLD YOU!

OK. YOU DON'T
NEED TO SHOUT.

I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!

WHEN I'M DONE,

ARCHIE WON'T EVEN
RECOGNIZE RIVERDALE...

OR HIS FRIENDS.

SO YOU DON'T REMEMBER
MY CAR EVER BEING ANY
OTHER COLOR THAN PINK?

IT'S JUST AS
I EXPLAINED TO YOU.

NO ONE BUT YOU AND ANY
OTHER TIME TRAVELERS
WOULD NOTICE A CHANGE.

Archie:
IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR?

WHAT CAR?

YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD
A MOTOR SCOOTER.

WE HAVE TO GET TO YOUR LAB
BEFORE ANY OTHER CHANGES HAPPEN.

GREAT!
ANOTHER TIME SHIFT OCCURRED.

I DIDN'T
NOTICE ANYTHING.

LET'S HURRY. THIS IS
ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.

[PANTING]

WAIT. I NEED
TO TAKE A BREAK.

DILTON, I JUST HAD
AN AWFUL THOUGHT.

IF ALL THESE
TIME SHIFTS ALTER
THINGS LIKE MY CAR,

WON'T PEOPLE
START CHANGING, TOO?

[PANTING]
IT'S A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY.

IF WE WERE TO SUM UP
ALL THE CHOICES WE MAKE
IN OUR LIVES,

CHANGE JUST A FEW
OF THOSE CHOICES,

AND WE BECOME
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.
LET'S WALK A LITTLE.

YOU MIGHT SEE SOME
STRANGE THINGS, ARCHIE.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
ACTING AWFULLY STRANGE,

AND YOU'LL BE
THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICES.

Girl: YOO-HOO, DILTON.HUH?

YOU HUNKY GENIUS YOU.

OH, NO!
HUH?

BIG ETHEL.
SHE'S ALWAYS PESTERING ME.

BUT BIG ETHEL HAS
A CRUSH ON JUGHEAD.

I WISH.

BIG ETHEL HAS
HAD A CRUSH ON ME
SINCE FIFTH GRADE.

HI THERE, MY HANDSOME
MAN OF SCIENCE.

THIS MUST BE A CHANGE FROM
THAT LAST TIME SHIFT.

WHILE I'M FLATTERED
BY YOUR ATTENTION,
MISS MUGGS,

I MUST REMIND YOU THAT
MY HEART IS PLEDGED

TO THE PURSUIT
OF KNOWLEDGE.

PLAYING HARD TO GET, HUH?

GIVE US A KISS.

GO ON WITHOUT ME,
ARCHIE.

I'VE GOT BIGGER
PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW.

GREAT.
NOW I'M ON MY OWN.

WHA?

YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT.

I CAN'T STOP NOW, JUGHEAD.

BUT THERE'S A NEW
HEALTH-FOOD RESTAURANT IN TOWN.

THEY'VE GOT AN
ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT SALAD BAR.

THE WHOLE WORLD HAS
GONE TOPSY-TURVY.

I HAVE TO GET
TO THE LAB.

HE SEEMS SO STRESSED OUT.

MUST BE TOO MUCH
RED MEAT IN HIS DIET.

[PANTING]

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN
SO MUCH EASIER WITH A CAR.

HUH?

VERONICA? IS THAT YOU?

YES, IT'S ME,
VERONICA LODGE,

YOUR EVER-FRIENDLY
GIRL NEXT DOOR.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

JUST EARNING A LITTLE
EXTRA ALLOWANCE

BY DOING SOME GARDENING
FOR MY PARENTS.

I'M SAVING UP FOR
A COMPUTER, YOU KNOW.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

OH, NO!

HERE COMES THAT FLASHY
BLONDE BETTY COOPER.

SHE'S ALWAYS THROWING
HER MONEY AROUND
AND SHOWING OFF.

HUH?

HI THERE, ARCHIE-POO.

BETTY, I CAN'T
BELIEVE THAT'S YOU.

YOU LOOK SO...

SO...GLAMOROUS.

WHY, ARCHIE-POO,
YOU SAY THE SWEETEST THINGS.

HI, BETTY.

OH, HELLO, VERONICA.

THAT'S QUITE A FASHION
STATEMENT, VERONICA.

WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE
IN MY SPORTS CAR, ARCHIE-POO?

WELL, I DO
DESPERATELY NEED TO GET
TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

SURE THING, ARCHIE-POO.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER, VERONICA,

TOODLES, VERONICA.

[TIRES SCREECH]

WHY DO THE BOYS
ALWAYS FALL FOR FLASHY
SPOILED GIRLS LIKE BETTY

AND NOT SOMEONE NICE
AND SENSIBLE LIKE ME?

BYE, COACH WEATHERBEE.

COACH?

I THOUGHT MR. WEATHERBEE
WAS THE PRINCIPAL.

CUT IT OUT, ARCHIE.

YOU KNOW VERY WELL
THAT DR. BEAUMONT
IS THE PRINCIPAL.

BUT ISN'T THAT
DR. BEAUMONT'S SHOP UP AHEAD?

SILLY, THAT'S GRUNDY'S.

THAT'S MISS GRUNDY?

OK, I GIVE.
WHAT'S GRUNDY'S?

JUST THE HOTTEST
DISCO SCENE IN
RIVERDALE, THAT'S ALL.

SEE? KIDS ARE ALREADY
LINING UP TO GET IN.

OF COURSE, YOU'RE
TAKING ME THERE TONIGHT,
RIGHT, ARCHIE-POO?

WAIT A MINUTE!
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIBRARY?

LIBRARY?

THERE'S NO LIBRARY
IN RIVERDALE.

THAT'S STARBUCKS.

NO! PROFESSOR FLOOTSNOOTZ
WOULD NEVER ALLOW IT.

YOU MEAN
OFFICER FLOOTSNOOTZ?
THAT MEANIE.

HE JUST ARRESTED
REGGIE LAST WEEK FOR
READING IN PUBLIC.

READING'S AGAINST THE LAW?!

THIS IS WORSE
THAN I EVER IMAGINED.

SO I TOLD MOMMY THAT
I DIDN'T LIKE THE YACHT

BECAUSE THE COLOR
WAS ALL WRONG.

AND THEN I--

WELL, HERE WE ARE.
THANKS FOR THE RIDE.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

BUT I DIDN'T
FINISH MY STORY.

OH, NO!

FINNEY MUST HAVE
THE CHRONO-FIELD
GENERATOR.

HOW CAN I STOP HIM NOW?

WONDERFUL.
THIS PLACE IS A MESS.

AND THE CHRONO-FIELD
GENERATOR IS GONE.

NOW I CAN'T TRAVEL
BACK IN TIME TO FIX THINGS.

UNLESS FINNEY
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
THE TIME-BELT PROTOTYPE.

YES!

I SWORE I'D NEVER WEAR
THE TIME BELT AGAIN

AFTER ALL THE TROUBLE
LAST TIME.

BUT NOW...

[SIGHS] IT'S MY ONLY HOPE
TO STOP FINNEY.

NOW TO FIND FINNEY.

GREAT.
ANOTHER TIME SHIFT.

I WONDER WHAT CRAZY CHANGES
HAVE HAPPENED THIS TIME.

Jughead: THERE HE IS![GASPS]

ARCHIE ANDREWS!

GET HIM!

WHY DO I KEEP ASKING
QUESTIONS I DON'T
WANT ANSWERED?

HOLD ON TO HIM
TIGHT.

WE DON'T WANT
HIM TO ESCAPE.

JUGHEAD, POP TATE,
LET GO OF ME.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

DON'T PLAY INNOCENT
WITH US, PUNK.

Jughead: YOU'VE COMMITTED
CRIMES AGAINST OUR BELOVED
EMPEROR, YOU CAD.

HUH? WHAT EMPEROR?

BEHOLD HIS MAGNIFICENCE.

EMPEROR FINNEY,
THE ONE AND ONLY.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

HUH?

YOU ARE SO
TOTALLY BUSTED, ARCHIE.

ME? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

ALLOW ME
TO ANSWER THIS ONE.

BECAUSE YOU DECIDED
TO INTERFERE WITH MY
YOUNGER SELF'S PLANS,

HE HAD TO SPEND
30 YEARS IN JAIL.

AND HE BECAME ME.

SO WHY ARE YOU
CHANGING HISTORY WITH
ALL THESE TIME SHIFTS?

REVENGE!

YOU RUINED MY LIFE,
SO I'M RUINING YOUR LIFE.

BY CHANGING THE PAST,
I'VE CHANGED YOUR TOWN.

I'VE TAKEN AWAY
YOUR FRIENDS.

AND I PUT MY YOUNGER SELF
IN HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE
AS RULER OF THE PLANET.

NACHOS,
MY LIEGE?
NACHOS,
MY LIEGE?

BUT IT'S STILL
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO PAY
THE ULTIMATE PRICE.

COULDN'T WE JUST
TALK THIS OVER?

I'M GOING TO GO
BACK IN TIME

TO MAKE SURE
YOUR PARENTS NEVER MEET.

I'LL ELIMINATE YOU
FROM HISTORY COMPLETELY.

YOU'LL NEVER EXIST.

A RIVERDALE
WITHOUT ARCHIE ANDREWS.

THAT WILL BE
THE SWEETEST REVENGE.

[ALL GASP]

Archie: I'M NOT GOING
TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO CHANGE TIME AGAIN.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DISTRACT
FRED ANDREWS LONG ENOUGH

SO THAT HE NEVER MEETS
ARCHIE'S MOTHER-TO-BE MARY,

AND THEN ARCHIE
WILL NEVER EXIST.

Archie: I'M NOT GOING
TO LET YOU DO THAT.

HUH?

WE HAVE TO SEPARATE.

DILTON WARNED ME
ABOUT THIS.

OUR TIME DEVICES
ARE CREATING
A TEMPORAL FEEDBACK.

NEVER!
I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!

LET GO!

AH!

WHOA!

WHOA!

Archie: DON'T DO THAT.

WAIT FOR IT TO RECALIBRATE.

IF WE WORK TOGETHER,
WE CAN GET OUT OF THIS.

HELP YOU? NEVER!

YOU MUST SUFFER!

ONE OF THESE BUTTONS
HAS TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.

AAH!

HE SHOULD HAVE
LISTENED TO ME.

Finney: THIS IS YOUR FAULT,
ARCHIE ANDREWS.

YOU'LL PAY! SOMEDAY YOU'LL--

GOT TO BE CAREFUL.

WHO KNOWS WHAT AWFUL REVENGE
ARCHIE HAS IN STORE FOR ME?

UHH!

SAFE AT LAST.

ALL THAT TROUBLE
JUST FOR REVENGE.
WHAT A WASTE.

WELL, I'M NOT GOING
TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.

HEY, REGGIE!
UH--

REGGIE, I'M SORRY ABOUT
WHAT I SAID EARLIER.

I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE
ANY OF MY LIFE TRYING
TO GET REVENGE ON YOU,

SO YOU CAN RELAX.

THIS IS A TRICK, RIGHT?

YOU'RE SETTING ME UP,

TRYING TO LULL ME INTO
LETTING MY GUARD DOWN,

AND THEN, BLAM!
REVENGE TIME.

NO. REALLY,
YOU'RE SAFE FROM ME.

IT WON'T WORK, ARCHIE.

I'M GOING HOME
AND GETTING INTO BED
WHERE IT'S SAFE.

UNLESS THAT'S WHAT
YOU WANT ME TO DO,

AND YOU BOOBY-TRAPPED
MY BED.

OH, NO!

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

Archie: RIVERDALE WAS
COMPLETELY BACK TO NORMAL

AFTER I RETURNED
TO THE PRESENT...

WITH ONE EXCEPTION:

NO ONE REMEMBERED THAT
FINNEY HAD EVER EXISTED.

DILTON EXPLAINED
THAT THE FEEDBACK FROM
THE CHRONO-FIELD GENERATOR

MUST HAVE ERASED FINNEY FROM
THE TIME LINE COMPLETELY.

THAT'S A HIGH PRICE TO PAY
FOR REVENGE.

AS FOR ME,
THE ONLY TIME TRAVEL

I PLAN ON DOING FROM NOW ON
IS THE NORMAL WAY...

SECOND BY SECOND.

THAT'S THE SAFEST WAY
TO ENJOY LIFE

IN A LITTLE TOWN
CALLED RIVERDALE.
