ARCHIE
THE FOX: FAMILY VALUES (ONE-SHOT)
The Fox: Family Values follows the life of the super heroic Patton family, all considered "freak magnets" who can't help but do what they can to save the day… whether they like it or not! First, Dean Haspiel returns to writing and art duties in "Mid-Life Pisces." Can a family of antiheroes with three different philosophical points of view break bread at the end of the day? The patriarch, investigative journalist Paul Patton, Jr. (aka THE FOX) is desperate to find another story. He tries to get his son, Shinji (aka GHOST FOX) to come along with him, but his teenage son is more interested in dating than finding exclusive stories! Meanwhile, his wife, Mae (SHE FOX) must confront some sins of her past in the form of two super-villains! Then, in "Back to Back," written by Vito Delsante with line art by Richard Ortiz, we venture to the past, before Paul and Mae were married! The two are hours away from their wedding ceremony and are presently missing their final wedding rehearsal while they're detained by a mad supervillain. How will they make it to their nuptials? All that PLUS a special reprint of a classic Fox story by the legendary Alex Toth! *Retailer orders for all covers placed by FOC date will be 100% returnable (no minimum)*

He has only two tries left, what will he do?
Then, in "Chili Con Carnage," Archie's got a part-time job as a line-cook at Pop's, but when his attempt at making Pop's famous five alarm chili actually sets off fire alarms, the problem is so bad there's only one person who can handle it: the superhero Fireball!

He may need to call in backup, in the form of a junior hero with an intimate knowledge of Pop's!
