'Girls' creator Lena Dunham will write a four-issue miniseries for Archie Comics.
Absolutely no other details about the story have been released, but Dunham did offer up this statement: "I was an avid Archie collector as a child — conventions, first editions that I kept in plastic sleeves, the whole shebang. It has so much cultural significance but also so much personal significance, and to get to play with these beloved characters is a wild creative opportunity."
Newly appointed Archie Comics chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sascasa — himself a veteran of scripting TV shows like 'Glee' and 'Big Love' — is as proud of this unusual coup as you'd expect. "Lena's take on the Archie gang is funny and real and contemporary," he said. "It's a stunning fit, and I know fans will be excited to read it. I am!"
So... Adam Driver for Jughead, right? I mean, that's a no-brainer.
