Not an Archie fan but I'm giving this comic a try.

Surprised by the people resenting the change to Archie, am I the only one who remembers hug head and the time police? When they introduced new characters like Kevin Keller and jellybean?remeber when Archie and the gang became superheroes to cash in on the superhero craze? Or when the punisher dropped into riverdale? I wasn't around then but you could tell reading the digests that they changed their style to a darker mystery driven tone in the seventies. Archie comics has always tried new and different things while managing to somehow keep their charm and nostalgia that has had readers since the forties. Let that sink in for a minute Archie was a teenager in the forties, that would make right around ninety if they never changed him and what reader today wants to read about a ninety year old teenager? Archie comics knows this, that's why they are doing what they have always done and adapt to the times

Heck naw. Haven't liked the direction they've taken archie in years.

This new art is of the devil btw.
