what's so appealing about some moronic redhead who can't decide between a bunch of girls and his gluttonous friend who eats everyone out of house and home?

Didn't they kill archie off a year or two ago to reboot the series?

they killed archie in a series called life with archie that showed two what if universes one where he marries betty and one where he marries veronica because they couldn't just make archie make up his mind for once they just had to do a big what if series and let the readers decide for themselves which was better for archie

in the end he died in that book to save his gay friend but it had nothing to do with the main archie books which were still trapped in the perfect 50's utopia landscape

i understand there are people out there who like this stuff but enough to keep it going for over 70 damn years?!

all the characters are flat sterotypes that aren't good for anything but mindless entertainment You'll soon forget about once your done reading

it's like unhealthy garbage for your brain

you get nothing from reading archie there's no bigger picture or interesting well thought out characters

it's just a boy's never ending journey to get laid

Terrible teen drama that has 0 to do with the source material.

wanna know what's funny? they put out a digest size book called Riverdale Digest#1 with reprinted material from the archie reboot books calling them the stories that inspired CW's Riverdale

even though the reboot archie stories are nothing like the riverdale tv series where the entire focus was on a murder mystery

the cover is even a promotional poster for riverdale(With Black Josie...though reboot josie is white so that would bring confusion)

idk, some of the comics were pretty funny. I was less enthusiastic about the edgy revamps in recent years where there are zombie outbreaks and shit.

Nothing wrong with that. A lot of manga out there only about that and they can be quite good. the problem is that archie is just boring.

Archie is a terribly boring character even in the riverdale tv show he's like one of the worst characters....

the others aren't much better

You read one archie book You've read them all i like that they've tried to modernize it a bit in current times and amp up the drama a little but it's still a franchise revolving around a high school teen's journey for sex

so the potential for great stories is rather small

What planet do you live on? There are literally thousands of stories based around that one premise. Hell Romeo and Juliet is basically about a high school aged youth's journey for sex.

those stories don't use the barest forms of story telling and use what we would call catering to the lowest common fanbase

you can make such a story work but if what's happening around it is just flimsy wallpaper desperately trying to look cooler than it really is

then all it'll look like is wank material

But NMB is not one of them, because all of the girls are on the other side of the neighbour with the scary dog.

Come to think of it, I don't believe either of my local grocer's carries it any more. Then again, haven't thought to look for it. When I was younger, I would get them, though.
