What are some recommended Archie comics?
Life With Archie/The Married Life
Afterlife With Archie
Chilling Tales of Sabrina
Disregard the recent reboot.
And just grab some of the Archie Digest next time you're in the checkout lane.
>>84194060
>Disregard the recent reboot
Those are some of the best comics on the stands today.
Archie/Punisher
Archie/Predator
>>84194060
>>84194417
Most of those are not good Archie stories unless you've familiarized yourself with the basic premise by reading stuff like this: >>84194353
>>84193999
Almost anything from the 50s through 1983 was at least decent.
explain:
who was archie fuckin? the dark haired one right?
>>84194060
>Disregard the recent reboot.
Fuck. You.
>>84194629
Archie was a virgin until he got married.And he married both of them.
>>84194654
Is it good? Are the other books within the 'New Riverdale' universe good?
>>84193999
Outdated, but still decent.
>>84194710
WHAT? he's banging them both and married to them both?
Based
>>84194756
The universe itself could not determine who was better for Based Archie and literally split so that he could exist in two worlds simultaneously and marry them both.
Anyone else hype for the new Josie series.

>According to Archie Comics, the new series will feature Josie uniting the band to take their big shot at musical stardom, only to contend with the machinations of Alexandra Cabot, the ever-Machiavellian daughter of the Pussycats’ manager.
I wonder if they will bring back the fact that Alexandra is a witch like Sabrina.
>>84194917
>>84194940
Are the old Josie comics any good?
>>84194710
>Is it good? Are the other books within the 'New Riverdale' universe good?
I don't really read Jughead but the main Archie book is really great. It's one of my favorite monthlies.
>>84194962
If you like the old Archie comics with a little bit of scooby doo mixed in its very good.
But personally I liked the animated series better also enjoy animated series 480p

Alexandra>Melody>Josie>Valerie
Anything written by Frank Doyle between 1960-1980, which is about 75% of them.
>>84194962
It's basically all Frank Doyle and Dan DeCarlo up until the book goes giant sized at issue 56 and they start bringing in other writers and artists but even then there's some standout spooky mystery material.
Also Valerie and the band don't become a thing until issue 40-something.
>>84194060
>disregard the recent reboot
Kill yourself, please.
Do you guys remember when Archie had to beat off a few guys to save Betty?
Pepridge Farms does....
>>84194940
>>84194917
I miss Pepper.
>>84195794
Why not? At best one should only read it after familiarizing themselves with the rest because the point of the reboot is to have a "fresh new artstyle".
>>84195794
>>84194654
>>84194106
Did something happen?
Because I read the first few issues and it was garbage.
>>84197001
It is garbage. The whole book is basically how do you do fellow kids.jpg
>>84194940
>Shonen Knife
I can get behind this.
>>84197104
>The whole book is basically how do you do fellow kids.jpg
>implying that Archie comics haven't been like that since at least the mid-1980s
>>84197104
>The whole book is basically how do you do fellow kids.jpg
Nigger are you even familiar with what Archie is? That's their whole shtick.
>>84197104
>The whole book is basically how do you do fellow kids.jpg
To be fair, Archie comics have always been that way - written, drawn and edited by mildly bitter middle-aged war vets who were often estranged from their own teenage offspring, many of which are dead now, save for Bob Bolling.
>>84195877
>tfw this cover has been posted a gorillion times but the issue itself has never been ripped
which is the one where archie takes a bullet for a gay kid and dies?
>>84194721
needs to add Predator
>>84199599
Married Life.
>>84199599
The second to last issue (correct me if I'm wrong) of "Life with Archie".Archie takes a bullet meant for Kevin Keller.

I dunno, all these recent archie comics seem really unpleasant
>>84200693
>>84200773
>>84200789
Holy SHIT, that girl's got a skunk on her head!
I would honestly say that every book being published by them right now is worth reading.
Samantha Smytheis best girl and I'll hear nothing to the contrary.
>>84200827
If only Emo's and scenesters didint ruin the skunk stripe Its a great looking style but can be done wrong so many ways.
some the only good examples i can think of Are Rogue and Alexandra
>>84200802
Why did I make this edit?
>>84193999
Not really a recommendation, but there's the 1000-page series, which collects choice cuts from the most recent issues of Archie digests into one volume.
There's also the smaller "Giant" 480-page series if you feel that the former is too damn big.
Pic related is most recent volume in 1000-page seriesDan Parent a shit. Why couldn't he have gotten fired instead of Fernando Ruiz?
>>84200844
I find it more believable that Melody is completely Bi and just wants to bang what ever she finds attractive.
Alexandra on the other hand I could see going total Lezbo after trying to seduce Alan so many times and being cock blocked by his attraction to Josie.
>>84201102
because this comic actually has a few good reaction images for being fan made
>>84201144

I like the menage a 3 art. Giz should draw more Archie comics!
>it's an Archie thread
Fantastic
Archie Comics were the first comics I ever read at age 5
At age 20, I still read them
Good night /co/
I hope this thread is still here tomorrow
>>84194721
Is Sabrina: The Magic Within collected in color? I once found the first volume but it was in black and white.
Who else first got exposed to Archie stuff from the cartoons? For me it was Archie's Weird Mysteries, the Josie and the Pussycats cartoon and Sabrina: The Animated Series.

The dolly on the trolley got a seat, by golly.

>>84199617
That ending was pretty unexpected
>>84194535
The era in the '70s to '83 where they were a publicly held company and relaxed some of their more prudish S&P policies was a particularly good time for stories and art.
>>84195042
Jughead is absolute trash right now. Every time I think of that first issue, it makes me want to kill myself. It's getting a new creative team on issue 9, though, along with the introduction of Sabrina into New Riverdale.
>>84200247
She became a lot less of a bitch in '70s and more helpful/tragic. The Little Archie comics in particular beat the drum of her constantly having her heart broken.

It's not as if the cover is indicative of the events that take place in the comic.
Why would you want to read comics about an autistic ginger.
>>84200906
No argument from me.
>>84204931
80s DeCarlo was never as inherently sexy as 60s DeCarlo. So even if standard were relaxed the art didn't necessarily reflect that.
Love the pin ups
And out of context panels

Just let Giz do it, she needs practice making smut again after Ma3 went so fucking tame.

This is better than it has any right to be.
>>84201819
For me, it was the live-action Sabrina show, which was a damn sight better than it had any right to be... except for when she went off to college.
I have decided to read some archie comics I have a question why were there comics of archie marrying 2 difrent people published at the same time was one an elseworlds type thing or something
>>84207380
It's weird most stuff we bite peoples heads off if they dident know it was a comic first but Sabrina gets a free pass I wonder why that is.
>>84207432
Heh I saw this princess Sally thing and thought oooh I'm gonna check out this furshit could be interesting and then it turned out to be a sonic spinoff
>>84207432
They were both speculative.
>>84207478
Ah that makes sense
>>84207447
Probably because we have a lot of people on /co/ who grew up in the 90s, and watched the show before they knew it was a comic; that's certainly true for me, but I'm a britbong and we never had Archie Comics over here, although I recall they did try selling reprints of the original comic over here, but because it wasn't based off of the show I'm pretty sure it sank without a trace.
Shame, but there it is.
Archie Comics are BIG in Canada and India...they were also a big deal in Mexico and Latin America for decades until the 21st century.
They were also moderately popular in Scandinavia, Australia and Apartheid-era South Africa.
Archie was/is barely known in France and Belgium, where the comics underwent translation titled "Robert et Brigitte" in the early 70s.
Dolly got on a trolley, by golly
Gus got on a bus w/ no fuss
OP here, I got the first volume of the Best of Archie digitally to read on my tablet, the first volume of Afterlife with Archie, and used a 4th of July coupon code to buy their 'bundles' of the first 8 issues of the new Archie and the first 4 of Jughead for like 25 bucks.
How'd I do?
>>84206894
This dude is an insecure dick.
>>84208943
All the characters in "That Wilkin Boy" were assholes.
>>84198869
>it means emotional
It is short for emotive hardcore and has nothing to do with goth, emo is an offshoot of 80's hardcore punk.
>>84194721
Not OP but which Archie: The Best Of should I get first? Should I get volume 1 of Decarlo?
>>84209866
>Should I get volume 1 of Decarlo?
Yes. He is THE Betty and Veronica artist. Just like how Harry Lucey is THE Archie artist and Samm Schwartz is THE Jughead artist.
>>84209866
>Should I get volume 1 of Decarlo?
It's as god a place to start as any. DeCarlo mostly worked on Betty and Veronica. Schwartz did Jughead and Lucey was the main Archie artist.
>>84208925
Sounds good.
>>84194106
Fuck off Waid, you've lost your touch

>and every issue has bullshit fantasies because Zdarksy is a hack
I thought it was a neat way to incorporate some of the crazier shit that they've done over the years.
>>84208925
You didn't get any Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Dumping a classic.
>>84200224
Sure is.
>>84212489
I remember when Big Ethel was portrayed as the ugliest girl in Riversale. But then they made her "beautiful" in an effort to stay PC.
>>84212665
Which ironically made her blander than she was before.
Another silent story.
>>84212872
god damn, veronica looking fine
New Veronica is cute! CUTE!
>>84213064
Eh. She's okay.

I didn't notice.

You're right.
He is gay......for burgers.

Probably because the comic takes more from the 90's tv show then the 90's tv show takes from the old comics.
pre-90's Sabrina (with the exception of her origin issue) was a good witch raised by her aunt and uncle that dated Harvey.
90's Sabrina is a typical teenage girl (or preteen depending on the series) raised by her Aunts who has a wisecracking cat (Salem didn't talk before the 90's, though I think this was a 90's comic addition rather then tv show addition)and deals with problems growing up. Harvey is just one of her beau's.
Pre-tv show and post tv show Sabrina might as well be different characters!
>>84216591
>was a good witch raised by her aunt and uncle that dated Harvey
>>84215481
She wasn't so much good as not quite as evil as her family wanted her to be, and Ambrose was a cousin not uncle. Plus they didn't really do anything to make the cast resemble the comic versions.
>>84216871
I don't think you meant to quote me. I'm >>84215481
>>84216871
no, before the 90's there was a sort of Casper-esque relationship with Witches being evil and Sabrina being good. The typical Sabrina plot involved doing good deeds much to the chagrin of her family or the witch's council. Her origin issue hinted she was just as evil as other witches but that was dropped rather quickly.
After the 90's she became a regular teenager.
Though I did forget about Ambrose being a cousin since he acts so much like Uncle Arthur from Bewitched.
>>84201107
fernando ruiz got fired? that's a shame
>>84209754
It's all the same fucking degeneracy
>>84217057
>The typical Sabrina plot involved doing good deeds much to the chagrin of her family or the witch's council
It would have been more like shame than chagrin and Della the head witch was their version of a council.
This is Sabrina from #21, 1974.
>>84219284
>not sure if this is a Dick Malmgren script or a Frank Doyle one
Guess I'll just wait for the "Eep!"
>>84219310
It's right above your post
I bought the Sabrina 50 magical stories, but some pages turn up with negative colors.

>No Butts About It
l-lewd
Looking through the few Sabrina book I've got saved the "typical" stories are Sabrina screwing up, helping people on the sly or being helped out by Hilda or Ambrose.
what issues of sabrina are good, besides the collections?
>>84219876
If you like the last few stories then anything from volume 1. Or go for the 90s stuff if you want something that resembles the show slightly more,
Here's Sabrina being a sadistic bitch, courtesy of notorious wackadoo Al Hartley.
I don't have the rest of the story on me ("Gay Blades" from Reggie and Me #54), but from my recollection, Reggie was literally doing nothing wrong except showing off his skating moves.
When I said earlier that Hartley was an dangerously insane madman, I meant it. Dude had ties with the John Birch Society and nearly threw Dan DeCarlo from a twelve-story window for not saying "God bless you" when he sneezed.
Of course nobody will believe me...your loss.
>Christian witches
