Archie at New York Comic-Con and Fall Sale

Archie has just sent out some interesting news for those of you who like to enjoy a monthly dose of the Blue Bomber on the printed page!

For starters, they will be offering up the above exclusive cover for Sonic the Hedgehog #251, the final part of the “Worlds Collide” crossover with Mega Man, at Booth #1936. In addition, the first fifty people who follow Archie on social media and tell them the secret word of the day at their booth will receive a free convention-exclusive button, including a Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man “Worlds Collide” button!

Another prize being given out will go to an “exceptionally good” zombified Archie character cosplay: The entire 2014 Archie Comics line! Not sure whether that includes Mega Man and Sonic or not, though.

Of course, what kind of convention would it be without panels? Of particular note, of course, will be this one:
