Calgary indie pop twins Tegan and Sara are headed to the Archie Comics universe.

The “Everything is Awesome” performers announced they will cross paths with the Riverdale characters in an upcoming issue of “The Archies.”

The spinoff series follows the fictional band from the comic book franchise.

The sisters unveiled the appearance with an Instagram post that showcases a cover from issue No. 5 with them alongside Jughead, Reggie and others. They said it hits stores in February 2018.
