He's so tapped into pop culture and entertainment, and he loves these characters and knows exactly the steps we need to take to bring them to a wider audience," said Archie Comics Publisher/Co-CEO Jon Goldwater. "Bringing him into the fold officially pushes the company one step closer to what I envisioned when I came aboard. His energy, intelligence, insight and vision are going to help elevate Archie and all our properties to new levels."
