I haven't read an Archie comic since I was in grade school and I used to borrow the ones my older sister bought, but I would definitely buy an Archie/Jughead book drawn by Mike Norton (esp. if he used the same style he did on Billy Batson and the Magic if Shazam).

Ha, that is kind of funny to look at and it is Jughead jones after all.

That's just brilliant. Now you can get little kids which are the main Archie audience insterested in Game of Thrones, a show chock full of violence, profanity and sex. I'm sure that will end well.

You've not read much Archie, have you? The comic got pretty sexual when Cheryl Blossom appeared, and either way this is a variant cover for Life With Archie, a series aimed at older readers (i.e. teens and above). On top of that, this comes on the heels of recent(ish) stories in which we see a take on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Vampirella (for teens+ and adults respectively), as well as a team-up with rock band KISS, who are by no means "kid friendly".

So, you know, no damage done.
