For decades Veronica Lodge has been used to getting her way and has been unaccustomed to the word no. All that is about to change as Archie Comics introduces Kevin Keller, Riverdale’s first openly gay character. Being the new hunk at school, Kevin immediately finds himself in Veronica’s sights and Ms. Lodge isn’t easily deterred from making him hers.
“The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie’s hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books,” stated Archie Comics Co- CEO, Jon Goldwater.
VERONICA #202 features the full-issue story, “Isn’t it Bromantic?” that introduces Kevin, Archie Comics’ first openly gay character. Kevin Keller is the new hunk in town and Veronica just has to have him. After Kevin defeats Jughead in a burger eating contest at Pop’s Chocklit Shoppe, she desperately latches onto him. Mayhem and hilarity ensue as Kevin desperately attempts to let Veronica down easy and her flirtations only become increasingly persistent.
