Happy Memorial Day Weekend, American's. With the unofficial start of summer here, it's time we took a peek as to what's coming to us this summer from Archie Comics via Previews. Now these books won't be out until August, but you can get your orders in now with your favorite local comic book shop. Archie […]

You're curious as to why Skeet Ulrich is leaving Riverdale, the uber-popular CW drama series and so am I. So, here's what we know: Ulrich plays Jughead's dad, F.P. Jones, on Riverdale and he announced back in February that he was leaving the show at the end of this season. Thanks to the pandemic, production was […]
Before Archie was a blip in Bob Montana's eye, MLJ was publishing superhero comics. Pep, Jackpot, and Shield Wizard were just some of the comic books kids could find at their local newsstand. These books featured timely patriotic heroes — in fact, one of the heroes pre-dates Captain America, which would result in a fun […]
I know there's been a lot of speculation around The CW's Riverdale lately with their early season finale, but fear not: there is official word that the narratives planned will play out as intended. In case you're unaware, season four's production was halfway through shooting their big prom episode with two more episodes left in […]
After the way the fourth season ended, viewers are going to have a hard time being patient for the return of Riverdale for a fifth round. Lucky for us, showrunner and series creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa took pity on us curious viewers and quelled some speculation. So, what does that mean for the show's next season? […]
Welcome back to Riverdale, friends, and on this, their season finale, too. I know what you're thinking, "The season's a little light if this is the final episode" and yes, you would be right had it not been for production suspensions. Since that's what we're up against though, three episodes short of a full order […]
After a week that saw The CW's Riverdale paid its respects to the themes and vibes of David Lynch, it's only fitting that Twin Peaks' "Shelly Johnson" (Mädchen Amick) would be taking over the director's chair for this week's chapter, "Killing Mr. Honey". In an unexpected twist that keeps the "weird" theme rolling, Amick's directorial effort will […]
Welcome back to the sleepy little town of Riverdale, friends! Now, before you tab back over to watching "non-sexual" fully clothed tickle videos, let's chat about this week's episode, shall we? In case you're more than a little confused by the tickle-video thing, you should probably catch up on the 'Dale. And if you refuse? […]
With Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy's Hollywood set to make its debut on Netflix this Friday, May 1, viewers have already been treated to the opening credits to the series. Now, viewers are getting a better look at our cast of dreamers in a clip that's done' as if it was test footage from an audition […]
The CW's Riverdale returns this week with an episode that pays respects to all things David Lynch, and we were so caught up with excitement that we thought the episode was actually running last week. Of course, we're going to write it off as some shady dealings from The Black Lodge or our way of […]
For The CW's Riverdale, an episode paying homage to all things David Lynch seems a long time coming, since the whole tone and vibe of the series wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the lasting impact of Twin Peaks. On top of that, they've had "Shelly Johnson" (Madchen Amick) as part of their cast since […]
Finally, welcome back to The CW's Riverdale, and, oh, and they're singing again. While it's debatable as to if every character on the show has gone insane, "spontaneous song" is the name of the game in this week's musical spectacular. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Riverdale, but not nearly as much as I […]
It's hard to believe that Archie Comics is turning 80 years old. What started as a superhero comic under the MLJ publishing name, our iconic redhead, didn't make his first appearance until two years into the publisher's life. Archie initially served as a backup story to MLJ's superhero comics, starting with Pep Comics #22 in […]
After having to sit things out for an extra week, The CW's Riverdale returns next week for this season's highly-anticipated musical episode. Despite my preference, they are not doing Les Miserables but the entire school finds itself up-in-arms and backing Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) when his performance in the variety show is banned because "Hedwig […]

Welcome back to another episode of Diving Into the Comics Vault! We're now five issues into MLJ's flagship title, Pep Comics. This issue of Pep Comics features a rather striking cover. The Shield is underwater, fighting enemy subs. Artist Irv Novick did an exceptional job with making Shield look like he really was fighting underwater. […]
Riverdale creator, writer, and executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is doing his part to help fans pass the time at home with a little fun speculation over how the gang would handle our current reality. Contributing to a line-up of shows getting the "What If…?" treatment from their respective writers, showrunners, etc., Aguirre-Sacasa breaks down why […]
Somewhere between Little Archie and Archie is The New Archies. In 1987 we got a 13 episode show by the same name, as well as a comic that went alongside the cartoon. This graphic novel features several issues from both The New Archies comic series as well as the digests. This is not a complete collection […]
