Despite a bit of drama for Archie and his band, it was a fun time for all in this hilarious and unexpected crossover story.

14 Tiny Titans

Aw yeah! Fans of DC’s charming and adorable Tiny Titans series got a real treat in Tiny Titans/Little Archie and his Pals by Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani.

It may be unexpected, but this crossover was a welcome surprise.

12 Flash Gordon

The Riverdale crew aren’t the only icons from a more quaint era of comic books. Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead met a real space-faring legend in Archie Meets Flash Gordon by Jeff Parker, Dan Parent, and Rich Koslowski. This one-shot had plenty of thrills and action as Flash and Archie teamed up to stop Gordon’s nemesis Ming the Merciless from invading Earth.

11 Glee

If there’s one thing the Riverdale Universe knows, it’s singing teenagers. Archie Meets Glee by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Dan Parent brought the two properties together thanks to a scientific experiment by Dilton. The four-issue miniseries may not have featured songs fans could hear, but it was something that hardcore Gleeks no doubt appreciated.

10 Red Sonja and Vampirella

Betty and Veronica got to be the stars of the show in a crossover that brought them together with two well-known legends. Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica by Amy Chu and M.L. Sanapo was a twelve-issue maxiseries that saw Riverdale’s queens embark on an epic adventure with the notorious ass-kickers to save the world.

9 KISS

Fans wanting to rock and roll all night (while partying every day) got their wish with Archie Meets KISS. The crossover took place over the course of Archie #627-#630 by Alex Segura and Dan Parent. A magical spell brings monsters to Riverdale and the only thing that could help out Archie and his friends was the rocking power of the all-star band.

8 Batman '66

The fan-favorite Adam West take on Batman worked alongside Archie and his crew in this amazing crossover. Archie Meets Batman ‘66 by Jeff Parker, Michael Moreci, Dan Parent, J. Bone, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Jack Morelli saw the Dynamic Duo’s latest adventure bring them to Riverdale and become enemies with Veronica’s father. This crossover has to be seen to be believed.

7 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Speaking of superheroes, the Archie gang had a ball with the heroes on the half-shell. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Meet Archie’s story “Green Legs and Gams” by Ryan Brown and Stephen Murphy, Cudley the Cowlick sends the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles across the multiverse to Riverdale. Despite standing out like sore thumbs, the crew helps Archie rescue Veronica after she’s kidnapped.

6 Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy

Forget superheroes. Two iconic Archie characters teamed up with two notorious Gotham malcontents in Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica. The six-issue miniseries by Marc Andreyko, Paul Dini, and Laura Braga brought the fan-favorite Gotham couple to Riverdale after Hiram Lodge decides to turn Sweetwater Swamp into a college. Unfortunately, an incident involving Sabrina causes Harley and Ivy to swap bodies with Betty and Veronica, leading to hilarious hijinx.
