I am having Riverdale withdrawals. I decided what better way to cure than than to read the comics it was inspired by. Now granted these comics are not really like the show at all. They are an updated version of the old Archie comics, which I also love. The art in this was great. My only complaint is that it was very short, even for a graphic novel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scochrane26 I have found that tv shows based on comics are very loosely based. Example—izombie. Love the show & comic is fun, they really only share a name. 5y

This was a fun comic with gorgeous art from Fiona Staples of Saga fame. The characters were a bit more modern and updated but the same classic story framework remains with the Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle.

It‘s been a long time since I‘ve picked up an Archie comic. When I was younger, my brother and I got to pick one item at the grocery store. I always choose an Archie or Betty & Veronica comic at check out. Seeing this made me happy.

I also love the show Riverdale...no shame 🤗

JackOBotts I loved the Archie comics when I was a kid...Double Digests. 🤗 Getting one was a hallmark of family vacations. My mom recently left one in my bedroom at her house...such a treat. Also, Riverdale is 👍🏼! 6y

I don‘t like Archie nearly as much as Jughead, but it‘s still a pick because REVAMPED ARCHIE. Archie and gang seem like they belong in modern time. I imagine fan of Archie have fallen in love all over again.

This was way better than I expected. Archie brought up to date but still the same. We learn the background to Jughead's name! Archie isn't trying to date two women at once! There's an art joke about Chip Zedarsky! Definitely reading volume 2.

Day 2: It‘s Friday, Get Happy. One of the few perks of getting dragged to the grocery store with mom when I was younger was getting to pick up the Betty & Veronica Digests at the checkout line. Fast forward a couple of decades and my love of Riverdale and the Archie gang is back thanks to a recent binge watch of the tv series. Hoping to get some time this weekend to revisit the characters on the page, too.

After reading the intro about how writer Mark Waid and artist Fiona Staples are huge fans of the old Archie Comics, I knew I was in for a treat. They didn't update it with a bunch of cell phones and F-bombs, they kept it creatively true to the beloved characters we know and love. 😊🙌🏻

P.S. This is also my #allagescomic entry that completes my #readharder challenge. Yay! So I'd say that's good reason for 🍾🍾😁

So, I just watched the series premiere of Riverdale and OH MY GOD. I was obsessed with Archie comics as a kid (my parents used to send me as many as they could fit in my camp care packages) and...just wow. It's like Twin Peaks meets Gossip Girl meets a post-modern, noir-esque The O.C.

Read: I'm in love and need more Archie in my life. I've been holding out on the somewhat recent comic reboot, but I think it's time.

Did you guys watch #Riverdale?

Archie is so. much. angst! I love Josie & the Pussycats! And am team Betty & Veronica right now. But the underlying dark mystery is my favorite part!

What did you think?

Lauren.Archer It is really good. Very dark. I totally agree I equally love Betty & Veronica. I will say it is very strange to see Luke Perry as a dad to a teenager. 7y
