A review by jonwesleyhuff
Archie, Volume 1 by Mark Waid

3.0

I read the first few issues of this, but they were such quick reads I thought I'd like it better in trade form. I'm glad I waited. It's a fun relaunch of the classic series. The first few issues benefit greatly by Fiona Staples work, but the artwork in the latter half isn't bad. It gets the job done. The story is fun. If you're interested in the characters because of Riverdale, you won't find any of the brooding of that series here. I like Riverdale a lot, but I wish Jughead in that series would take after this comic Jughead more. He's a fun character as presented here. I do feel like there could be a little more meat here character or plot-wise to really make one want to read the next volume, but right now it's certainly a fun read.
