Archie, Volume 1 by Mark Waid

4.0

I was only vaguely aware of Archie and, honestly, had no real interest. If I needed a teenage love drama-thing, I'd read more Scott Pilgrim (and I'm probably ticking off both fantasies with this one accident - which shows how little room that broad genre has in my reading).

So why have I started reading the update? Well, I recently watched the current Sabrina-show and found out it's the same universe. That piqued my interest, so I at least wanted to take a look.

Long story short: No magic in Vol. 1, but lots of interesting characters which shine with unexplored lore and backstory.

Maybe I'm getting "too old" for teenage drama, maybe not. Maybe some witch will show up before, maybe not.
Let's find out.

PS: Fiona Staples is a name that carries a lot of weight for me since the first issue of Saga came out. Oh, how Saga changed my views on the whole medium. (Sorry, wrong review
