So the interiors did change too. Looks neat

this looks awesome!

This looks awesome! And finally a way to express music on the page in a visual way that is interesting!

This would be must buy if Fiona Staples was staying as the permanent artist, though I'm happy she's staying on Saga.

Awesome! Mark Waid and Fiona Staples? Even more awesome! A new Archie? This couldn't get any better

Im so getting this

Looks good so far :D

This looks super cute. Can't wait to pick it up.

I have to get this. I've known I would ever since this was revealed.

finally gonna read an Archie comic besides Afterlife W Archie

It looks nice. The storytelling needs work (for instance, the convo w/his dad: first he's talking to us, then his dad, then he's looking at US but still talking to his dad, and the coloring change didn't make much sense -- and that's just one ex.), but it's a nice-looking book.

Can't stand comics that attempt to do music, however. It makes about as much sense as having a TV show where people just sit in a chair and read comics -- to themselves. This is a visual medium, not a sound one. It's a waste.

Iconic Mark Waid, and Fiona Staples artist from Saga. I love her Art. Never read Archie might give it a try cause its Waid

Wow! Archie and his friends looks way better.

Sold!!
