Archie Vol. 5 by Mark Waid

crookedtreehouse's review

3.0

Still well-written, and with a interesting and realistic progressions for most of the characters. This might be the final storyarc I read, not because it's bad, but because I've never really been into Archie or similar teen drama comics. Kudos to Waid and his co-creators for keeping my attention this long.

I recommend this to Archie fans, people who like well-written soap opera literature, and people who like good and clean comic fun that feels modern.

Enjoyed this book. Can’t wait to read the next and last issue of this comic!

The covers of these issues are beautiful. The artwork is no Fiona Staples but it's gorgeous. I think this is an adventure worth taking. I like that it's lighter than the show even with no romance between Betty and Jughead. I even like this whole Veronica-Betty-Archie love triangle, but to be clear, I still hate Veronica for some reason.

This had the old school feel to it and I really enjoyed this part of the series.

I don't like how Archie took himself clean clean out of the mix

Yeah it's not entirely his fault but [redacted] got hurt because of him and for what? Because of Veronica, sometimes I'm so sick of how he treats Betty. He doesn't deserve her at all not even as friends.

This was an okay read for me, I've enjoyed other volumes more. I also didn't enjoy the art as much as other issues. I'll be sticking with this series for awhile though.

4.8/5 stars, full review to come. I can't believe I almost gave up on this reboot when volume 5 has been sitting here, delivering the content I've been waiting for!!!!!!!
