I'm a sucker for Archie, in any shape or form. Fiona Staples' art gives us the most modern, realistic version of Archie and the gang yet. The story was good, nothing fantastic, but I like the alternate history (Archie and Betty being a couple since they were 5) and the fact that Veronica has yet to be introduced. The Twitter/hashtag line at the end was weird - I get it, you want to appeal to a new generation, but that info would have been better in a caption box. ( )

This is the very first published Archie comics on 1939 so this is a real classic. The drawings then is way different to the recent version because for instance, Archie looks goofy then. If you are a fan of Archie Comics, this is a must read. ( )

I like how this new version of Archie comics has a different take on the story of Archie, Betty and Veronica. Fans of this comics series are familiar of how Veronica and her family moved to Riverdale when she was still around 10 or below. But in this new version, the story shows that Veronica moved there in her teens.

This first issue also present that Archie and Betty are already a couple but just broke up recently. Later, there's a buzz that there's new girl in town and looks like Archie is trying to move on by trying to get to know who this girl is.

This version of Archie is like a mature type compared to the funny and light comic version we knew. Fans of Archie, like me, will definitely enjoy the awesome illustrations as well as the story of this. Looking forward on reading the succeeding issues of this new version. ( )
