Check out my new Live in Limbo article about Archie Comics, titled “Archie Comics: Changed Times, Changed Looks, Changed Stories” (Yes, I am aware that the title is a bit long haha).
It briefly touches upon the various “New Look” Archie issues appearing on the shelves and the recent “Archie Marries Veronica” six-part comic series.
Read your latest article. Seeing the familiar titles – Nancy Drew, SVH, etc – warms my heart. Were you guys into Goosebumps/Fear Street and the Hardy Boys at all? Just want to see how connected our childhoods were.
The new type of animation does not attract me at all, ew. And the cover art is a tad too glum for a comic, don’t you think? Always thought Archie’s was a place of old-timer escape, the writers really shouldn’t have stirred it up so much with hard issues. The last thing we need during hard times is a constant reminder!
