Archie Comics is having a real renaissance. It made a big splash in the mainstream with the relaunching of Archie #1 featuring writing from Mark Waid and art by the incredible Fiona Staples. The new series refreshes and updates the exploits of the gang from Riverdale for a new millennial audience. I appreciate that it never goes overboard by completely changing the tone of the series. The heart of Archie is still wholesome and positive storytelling.
The CW also announced that they are creating a pilot for an Archie themed teen drama produced by current television golden boy Greg Berlanti. I'm sure this show will have a whole new generation of fans asking themselves the eternal question: Betty or Veronica? -Soss
