It’s a very Scooby-Doo issue of “Archie Comics” No. 627 when the rock band Kiss comes to Archie’s home town of Riverdale to stop a group of monsters from turning everyone into mindless zombies.
“Archie Meets Kiss Part 1: Riverdale Rock City” was released Wednesday.

The confusion of KISS’s collaboration with Archie Comics is put to rest here as CBR TV explains why it’s not at all unusual considering KISS’s extensive past history with the comic book industry.
Though they may be known for their blood-spewing theatrics and hard rock riffs, the leaders of chart-topping band KISS also have a long legacy in comic books — one that continues today with “Archie Meets KISS,” the four-part story that launched this week in “Archie” #627. In celebration, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley showed up in the CBR TV Studios in LA earlier this week (sans makeup) to discuss the project and their long-standing connection to the comics medium.
