There Can Only Be One Sentence For Archie Andrews

 
And that sentence is DEATH.

I'm just going to keep trying to hip you onto the new series, because I know you'll thank me.

I take a back seat to no-one in loathing Archie, but I saw those issues, and now I'm a believer.

Ouch. Am I too old to change? Can I find some love for Archie? Betty and Veronica, sure. But never Jughead. Never ever Jughead.

I've always been exactly the other way around: Jughead was the only one I could ever get behind because he was a contrarian, a hipster, an artist, a loner. And he was always sad (at least judging by his face) which made him seem deep.

The girls are cute, but stupid...they had a Britney Spears "I'm just a girl" affect I never liked. But Archie himself was just awful...that goddamned idiotic grinning face, and the lack of any personality. As frontmen go, he made Mickey Mouse look like Walter White, he was so boring.

But the new comic changes all of that. I read a critic last week (after issue #2) saying that it's possibly the most exciting comic series going right now.

Anyway, like I said...you'll thank me. You'll do a post right here with a picture of new Archie (or new Betty) raving about how good it is and thanking me by name. You'll do this even though you don't want to (because I'm predicting it right now) -- it won't matter.

I am looking for the download now. You realize your rep is resting on this one. This is the hill you want to die on. I will look but I hope I am not being lead down the garden path.
