Archie (2015-) #1 by Mark Waid
5.0
Before I started reading Superhero comic books, and any other type of comic books actually, I have been an avid reader of Archie. I had a small collection of these before. They, unfortunately, got donated to charity because we didn't have enough space when we moved. But at that point, I thought I was outgrowing them anyways. I stopped reading them.
I know this new version of Archie has been out for a while. The reason why I haven't read it was because I was having a hard time getting a copy. It intrigues me because I want to know how close they're going to make it to the original story from the smaller version. Yeah. Sorry. I dunno how to call the previous Archie comics. Haha. I'll stick with the smaller version. Haha.
Okay so... to start, I absolutely loved this. Not only because the illustrations significantly changed, but also because it was told in a very interesting way.
ARCHIE IS BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL! AND ITS AWESOME!
In the original Archie run, there was always a love triangle/square involved. There was Archie, Betty, Veronica, and sometimes, Reggie. I always thought Archie liked Veronica more, but in this story, Betty and Archie was a thing since they were very young, being next door neighbors and all. Then an incident happened, which had them go their separate ways. I've only read this first issue, so I'm not exactly sure what caused the #LipstickIncident is (the cause of the breakup... which I'm thinking is because of a girl), but I'm going to read the next ones until I catch up.
If you have read Archie before, in the older run, you'd definitely enjoy this. I definitely did. So much nostalgia as I was reading it.
