This comics seem really short to me, but I love the illustrations and I was laughing when it took all his friends to keep Archie alive at the site. The lipstick incident was bad enough for betty and archie to need a break but not bad enough for betty to secretly fix archive's car on her birthday, the same night betty was having a party which she didn't invite Archie to. What went down between the ex couple? This reader wants to know.
Finding out why jughead wears the 's' was sad, how kids just turned on him after his family lost their money and muckraking him after the scheme that made it happen was beyond awful.
The fact that Archie can't set ice cream on fire makes me think he should never be allowed outside a bubble, for everyone safety.
Betty blowing up on Trevor for trying to start something with her and because he said that that is what most girls want when they invite guys to their room alone, makes me think betty is confused by a lot more than guys.
Again that bubble looks like a good idea especially when Archie literally destroys the Lodge mansion while trying to do the right thing after he's messed up the site earlier. And so Archie and veronica meet, for a second, while he is running from her father. Sad that he doesn't have enough to fix his car he is presently surprised when his dad starts it.

PLS!!! everything is so funny and great and i'm so in love with betty and jughead already (and ofc archie!!!) ahhh

Love at first sight. Time stops, then lurches violently forward, then collapses, smelling of electrical fire. Not unlike my car.

Jughead's backstory was so on point
Cannot wait for the next issue focusing on him

I'm loving the modern day character of Archie. Seeing him in all his klutzy glory was hilarious in this edition. I especially am enjoying how Waid has made Archie an interactive character who breaks the fourth wall and interacts directly with the reader. Watching him try to get a job and failing is something any teen or twenty-something can relate to.

Likewise, the "tribe" aspect of these Archie comics are endearing. It's nice to see how the other characters are all very much invested in helping Archie (and even Betty in the first edition) excel because for them, just like for the reader, Archie (and Betty in the first edition) represents this thing of purity in their community and even if their lives are all peachy, they want to make sure that Archie is fine. I absolutely love this fact about the revamped comics.
