I'd be lying if I said this doesn't look flipping awesome. Coming this winter: Archie vs. Kiss! Who do you stand with?

Here's a look at Archie #629, part 3 of 'Archie Meets KISS,' in stores January 25.

“ARCHIE MEETS KISS PART 3 - Rock 'n Roll All Fright” - In part three of the most historic team-up in comics, the Archies learn more about what brought the KISS members to Riverdale, and how the two groups have to unite to stop a band of monsters from turning Riverdale into a forgotten town, full of zombified teens!

Script: Alex Segura
Art & Cover: Dan Parent
Variant Cover by Francesco Francavilla

Here's a preview of Archie #627, the first chapter of the "Archie Meets KISS" storyline. Written by Alex Segura with art from Dan Parent, the issue hits stores on November 30.

'Archie Meets KISS Part 1: Riverdale Rock City.' The biggest band in rock history invades Riverdale! When the Archies find their town overrun by monsters because of a spell gone wrong, can the KISS gang save the day? Find out in part one of this four-part epic featuring KISS! Features a regular cover by Dan Parent and a variant cover by Francesco Francavilla.

You know, it only just dawned on me just how much of Metalocalypse's Dr. Rockzo's character comes from ol' Paul. I know, in hindsight it's totally obvious right? I just always think of David Lee Roth because of the tights, the moves, the tubby bass player and the - uh... you know, that thing he has a fondness for?

But these are all things that, when you stop to think about it, you could just as easily say about KISS as Van Halen. Although between KISS, VH, and Zazz Blammymatazz only one band has the sheer cartoony wackiness to release coffins and condoms emblazoned with their logo and likeness - and to SELL BILLIONS OF THEM TO RABID FANS WHO ACTUALLY WANT THIS ON THEIR PENIS.

Hats off to you, KISS. You go save Santa.
