The new student at Riverdale High School is definitely not into Betty and Veronica.
Archie, Jughead, and the girls make a new friend in Kevin Keller, a new character in the Archie comic book series who happens to be gay. Artist and writer David Parent told FeastofFun.com that Veronica is interested but can't figure out why he's not into her.
"We're trying to reflect society and we're just trying to show Riverdale is a diverse place," Parent said of the 69-year-old Archie Comics brand.
Kevin will first appear in September in issue 202 of Veronica.
And Jughead? "He's straight," Parent said, "but he's just more interested in food."
