Awax Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I finally got to read it. I haven't read an Archie or Richie Rich comic since I was a kid but I was happily surprised how much I still like it. They seem a LOT more mature now than 35 to 40 years ago but times change It looks like to me its going to be a fun ride and I loved the art. It wasn't classic Archie art but definitely lent itself to the spooky/dark feel of the story. I also like the texture of the cover. I've felt it on a comic before but I can't remember on what book. It almost had a painted feeling to it. I'm in for the long haul. (thumbs u All the other Archie books are still for young folks, this is the only title that isn't.

I bought old Archie and Richie Rich books for the kids when they were little but they really didn't read them. I loved the stuff. They weren't huge on superhero stuff either but they read the heck out of my TWD, Five Ghosts, EOW, Todd, and stuff like that. Its the main reason I buy so many trades even when I have the comics. I want my stuff looking brand new at age 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life With Archie, the current magazine size series, is more adult-oriented, with more mature themes than the Archie-proper books. I will repeat this to anyone and everyone who will listen. Try this series. Buy the first trade. It's one of my Top 10 series over the past couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awax Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Now we need some of those Archie Variants that have been coming out the last few months to heat up. Saga fans, did you know there was a Fiona Staples cover variant to Betty & Veronica recently? Archie's been putting some cool things out as of late.

Awax Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 They are hard to find in high grade. And the 1st appearances of the main cast are old books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
