Broken Frontier

Back in April, Archie Comics readers were given a special treat: a guest-appearance by real live 20-year old identical twins Jess and Lisa Origliasso, the hit singing duo who call themselves THE VERONICAS!  Inspired to name their group after Archie Comics’ own “Veronica Lodge,” the girls have managed to make a big hit on the comic racks, too, and now they’re back for an encore in ARCHIE & FRIENDS #100!

With natural born singing and songwriting talent, fantastic looks, and a tough and edgy sound with hooks and harmonies galore, The Veronicas’ have created quite the buzz in music industry circles.  Teaming with pop music’s top songwriters and producers, The Veronicas are basking in the success of their sizzling debut CD, “The Secret Life of The Veronicas.”  Featuring styles as diverse as rock, hip hop and R&B, this collection of infectious pop confections is anchored by the duo’s unique harmonic blend. 

Currently on tour across the U.S., Jess and Lisa have a special guest along for the ride: Veronica Lodge!  Be on the lookout for The Veronicas’ tour bus, featuring the likeness of comic books’ favorite rich girl painted on the side in an exclusive design created by Archie Comics! 

In the story, “Where in the World are the Veronicas,” that tour is in danger of being cut short.  The Archies think they’ve landed their biggest gig ever, only to learn they’ve been entered in a “battle of the bands” competing against The Veronicas.  Unbeknownst to the Archies, their new agent has hired a driver to pick up singing twins Jess and Lisa at the airport and get them “lost”… and ends up picking up Veronica Lodge, too!  Will the girls be able to make it back in time to perform?  Grab your backstage pass for musical mirth and mayhem—order your copy of ARCHIE & FRIENDS #100 today!
