This was a pretty interesting comic! I've heard of Archie before, but I've never read the comics so I'm glad that they actually did a reboot so people who were interested in it could start. I loved the artwork which I'm not surprised about because Fiona Staples is responsible for it. The story got a little confusing at some point, but I'm really interested to see where this love triangle between Betty, Archie, and Veronica goes. I already have the second volume so I'll probably pick it up sometime soon! : )

I have to give this one four (really 4.5) stars only because Fiona Staples wasn't the artist for every issue. I know she has tons of projects but I just absolutely LOVE her style! Other than that, I absolutely love this reboot!

This is NOT a rewriting or repeated comic series of the TV show. Thank god!

It’s an updated comic series on the classic Archie characters. Archie is still a goofy klutz, Jughead stuff his face with Pop’s burgers, Betty is the feminist girl next door, and Veronica is a snotty rich girl. Their personalities are pretty close to their classic counterparts, but updated for teens and tweens of the twenty-first century.

I love the TV series, so picked up the new graphics to get more Riverdale and wasn’t disappointed. Lots of teen drama and hilarity while still being true to their origins.

Loved the Archie comics and gave nostalgia from reading issues when I was younger as well as Riverdale.

Loved this! I remember reading a couple of old Archie comics a while ago, but I never really got into it, and it always intimidated me that there was so much. So I decided to give this a shot, since it's more or less a fresh start, and I'm so glad I did!
