It is cool to see Archie taking some creative chances.
I never thought Sonic could make for a great comic, and I am so glad Archie proved me wrong. There is nothing like it on the stands. I hope they can bottle lightning twice and do the same with Mega Man.
The Kevin Keller story has me intrigued. It really didn't dig as deep into the character as it deserved in Veronica 202. Hopefully they'll explore the character a bit deeper and show how a conservative community like Riverdale can reach out to a pretty liberal character like Kevin without having to agree with his lifestyle choices.

Life With Archie is a brilliant book; easily one of the best things on the stands.

Wow, is that the art for MegaMan? Or just concept art from Capcom?

Its the art from the Archie book Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante is great at mimicking the game artwork.

Pretty sure the writers have said that Kevin's sexuality will be treated as a non-issue. Originally Posted by stvnhthr

Archie comics really have made a good step ahead. Life with Archie is quite fun, and the new char Kevin Keller is also interesting. Good move.
