Welcome to Riverdale gave me childhood flashbacks. I used to read new Archie comics with my grandmother. This collection of Kevin comics plays well off the original characters- after all, Veronica and Kevin are BFFs- but it adds important new elements to the classic. Kevin's story focuses on his acceptance by friends and family after coming out, shows their response to bigotry, talks about the typical woes of teen dating, and portrays a loving and healthy family. I have so much love for Archie comics, and Kevin Keller's character just makes my love stronger.

This was a cute enough quick comic to read. I am glad that Riverdale's comics embraced having a gay character, but Kevin just isn't the kind of character I typically find interesting. He's shown here as just some really friendly, eternally optimistic guy who's good at everything. If you want something quick and lighthearted to read, check this out though.

I do not understand the appeal of Riverdale, and I don't think I ever, ever will.
