The red-headed eternal teenager’s eternal love interests are getting an all-new series, and there are 25 ways to celebrate that.
Archie Comics has been enjoying a serious renaissance in recent years. The long-running icon of wholesome, teenage Americana began his reinvention through the Life With Archie magazine format series in the early part of the decade, which explored what his life might look like if he finally chose between girl-next-door love interest Betty Cooper or rich society girl love interest Veronica Lodge. The surprisingly robust creative effort led to a left-field spin-off called Afterlife With Archie, which imagined Archie and the Riverdale gang forced to survive a zombie apocalypse—an idea that sounds goofy on paper, but which worked surprisingly well as both an Archie story and a horror tale.
