Archie Comics revels gender-switching ‘Reversedale’ story

Via CBR:  Archie Comics has announced an upcoming storyline in which the mischievous Salem (the cat of Sabrina the Teenage Witch) reverses the genders of the classic love triangle of Archie, Betty and Veronica.

The August-shipping “Archie” #636 features the story “The Great Switcheroo.”  Here’s how the company describes the issue:

Growing up as a teenage boy can rough! But not more so than a teen girl, right? Upon overhearing the guys and gals of Riverdale grumbling over how the other half has it easier, Sabrina’s mischievous cat Salem turns the town upside down when he dishes out the ultimate genetic makeover! Chaos ensues as the teens discover it’s not as easy to walk in each other’s shoes (or heels!) as they originally thought, so it’s up to Sabrina to set things right! Will Salem’s spell wear off, thus giving the gang a new appreciation for who they are, or will the switch up become permanent? Find out in this off-the-wall issue guest-starring Sabrina the Teenage Witch!

The script for the issue is by Tania del Rio with art by Gisele and Rich Koslowski
