Archie, Volume 1 by Mark Waid

5.0

I absolutely loved this! Comics and graphic novels are often too busy for me to read easily, but this is beautifully designed. The illustrators are incredibly talented! The art was beautiful, the writing was fun, and the dialogue was modern and charming without feeling too "hello, fellow kids." The bonus material at the back was an added treat that softened the blow of the volume being over.

I picked this up as part of my effort to sample more comic books, manga, and graphic novels as part of my work as a high school library worker. Archie is definitely moving to the top of my list for recommendations for lovers of the genre and reluctant readers alike.
