It's a dark inversion of everything we've come to take for granted in Archie comics: That the American small town is safe and everyone is good at heart. The TV show is a totally bonkers dark and gritty melodrama where no one is safe, secrets are bubbling away on the surface, innocence is destroyed, and murders[...]

According to the CW, this episode has a lot to cover. Archie (KJ Apa) and Veronica (Camila Mendes) are shocked to learn of the arrest but know they need to come clean to their parents about what they uncovered.  Still hurt by the betrayal of his friends and torn over who to trust, Jughead (Cole Sprouse)[...]

And Betty is not happy to learn that Veronica and Archie are helping Alice Meanwhile, Jughead considers giving his father another chance after seeing him try to clean up his act; Polly and Cheryl both decide to go to Homecoming in Jason's honor; and Fred and Mary attend the Homecoming dance, leaving him to possibly[...]

You can find them right now at C2E2 at table U-10. And she certainly seems to have made her mark on the show… Could there be more Reversedale stories from Gisele for Archie in the future?

The click bait headline parodies are hilarious, and even Archie being buddy buddy and then realizing he's also supposed to be mad is, well, funny!

If you're a cosplayer you know how important it is to find (or make!) near perfect looking items for your cosplay. Recently I was sent a Riverdale cosplay

For the past two years there's been a steady incline in the sale of Golden Age and key issue Archie comics Pep 22's have been sold at healthy prices, while Archie 1's have also seen their fair share of action In general, the first 10 issues of Archie comics generally go for 3 times what[...]

Betty and Archie play the lead characters who are trying to make a delivery to an unknown character. In typical Archie fashion the duo gets lost, Archie's phone dies, and when they try to follow his chip trail back home, they discover Jughead has eaten said trail And while Jughead is a nuisance in this story,[...]

In an age where we have an odd (but enjoyable) amount of Archie incarnations, Riverdale offers us a Twin Peaks-esque twist on these classic characters  We're given a short story for each of our headliners: Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead The following (and the one-shot) contains spoilers, so if you haven't seen the show, consider yourself warned. Fans who've[...]

So naturally Reggie decides to drag poor Archie into the mess, but Betty is on to him. So far the series is good It gives great insight on Reggie and fleshes him out beyond being the typical jerk My only issue is the narrator Reggie's dog, Vader, takes on the role as the narrator He's a[...]

Jughead is a solid lead ready to take on the world, and Betty is a strong, powerful woman ready to fight her own demons. Archie meanwhile is battling his own problems with stage freight His character takes a back seat this episode, though we do learn that Archie is a fan of DC comics thanks to[...]

When his dad kicked him out of the house for the day, Jughead goes to the local pool where his best friend Archie is "working" as a lifeguard He's really only working on hitting on as many girls as possible Jughead convinces Arch that he's been neglecting his best friend duties, so the duo take[...]

His take on the Archie universe has been exceptional In this issue we continue with Cheryl trying to take over Riverdale, while Veronica works her ass off to get back home to protect Archie (and well, all of her friends). Cheryl is incredible She's manipulative, coy, clever, and kind of funny in her attempts to woo[...]

It's nice to see that Cheryl is trying to break these chains by attempting to forge a friendship with Veronica–who by all means is really just trying to do the right thing–and her rude, almost cartoonish demeanour is clearly just a wall Cheryl has put up so no one knows how hurt she is. Speaking of[...]
