Spotify Adds ‘Spotlight Archie — The New Riverdale’ Visual Comic

by Dylan Blight


Spotlight Archie — vertical visual comic UI on mobile

In Archie Comics’ push to get the Riverdale experience into more hands, ears, and eyes, you can now listen to and watch a visual comic on Spotify titled Spotlight Archie — The New Riverdale.

The six-episode series, each running 10–15 minutes, was created by Madefire, specialists in digital and motion books. It adapts the first six issues of the 2015 reboot written by Mark Waid with art by Fiona Staples, Annie Wu, and Veronica Fish.

It’s an interesting premise, but fullscreen video on desktop runs only in a vertical orientation, and on my phone the image didn’t scale to fit the screen properly.

It’ll be interesting to see if Spotify continues to add more visual comics in the future.

Check out ‘Spotlight Archie — The New Riverdale’ on Spotify.
