After more than 70 years of gender comedy and never-ending love triangle between Archie, Betty and Veronica , things are going to change in Archie #636, as Sabrina the Teenage Witch takes matters into her own hands and flips everyone into their opposite sex . Girls who like boys who like boys to be girls? Something like that, anyway -- and in an Archie comic, of all places! Concerned Mothers of America, if Kevin Keller made you nervous , this kind of gender swap comedy may drive you to an early grave.Of course, just because Archie has become Archina (Thankfully, Betty and Ronnie get better alternative names: Billy and... Ronnie) doesn't mean that everything will be different in this brave new gender-swap world: Archina "still can't choose!" between her beaus, according to the variant cover to the issue, and somehow I doubt even gender reassignment will be able to slow down Jughead's appetite. If this plot seems a little familiar, it's not just because of the long tradition of feminizing male comic characters or that you've been looking at fan art for too long ; it's because web cartoonist Jess Fink did it first for CA's Valentine's Day celebrations earlier this year .



Weirdly, Archie's official version has an unexpected connection with the CA original, and it's not just that Betty looks kinda great as a guy in both versions. Fink's claim to fame is the NSFW webcomic Chester 5000 , while the official Archie story is drawn by Gisele, creator of the equally NSFW webcomic Menage a 3 . Sexy Webcomic Artists Archie Takeover FTW, apparently. Sorry, One Million Moms.

Archie #636 will be released in August.
