ArchieWatch: CNN gives Archie some respect
In case you hadn't noticed, Archie's hometown has made some big headlines recently. Last year, Archie Comics introduced its first gay character, military kid Kevin Keller, and he was such a big hit that the publisher gave him a miniseries. He'll star in his own ongoing title next year, and in the more mature-leaning "Life with Archie" series, an older version of Kevin will get married in January. That's not just big news for Riverdale but for mainstream comics in general.
"That's something that we wouldn't have been able to do 10 or 15 years ago," said longtime Archie Comics writer and artist Dan Parent, who created Kevin's character and writes the miniseries. "To keep growing as a company, we did need more diversity and we did need to shake things up a bit."

HuffWatch: Huffington Post on converting novels to comics.
Some literary enthusiasts have raised concerns that such adaptations present weak substitutes for the real thing. They're afraid students will choose these newer, flashier versions over the original classics. Why would teens opt to sweat through the thick, taxing tome that is Crime and Punishment when they could flip through a comic book and glean a basic understanding of the same story? The hope is not that graphic novels will supplant classic texts, but that they will supplement the original stories and provide a gateway for otherwise reluctant readers.
