What the heck?
I think I heard they came out with a homosexual character in the Archie comics in recent years. But now Archie will die a heroic death? Do they really have to go there?????
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised anymore by anything in the popular culture.

Next year, the start of the ‘Zombie Archie’ series...

I have a Archie comic from the early 1970's where it's a Christian issue. I wish I would have kept it in better condition.

Betty was every bit as hot as Veronica, but not as stuck on herself.

Oh, for Christ’s sake... this is a lighthearted comic series. Why don’t they just end it?

This is typical. A comic figure like Archie was invented by real comic book writers and drawers in the golden age of comics.
Because he’s so good, he lasts for decades, into another era.
Now they want to kill him off because he’s not really their kind of guy.
Sooner or later, it seems to happen to all of them.

Why couldn’t they kill off that no-good bastard Reggie?

I think we
MUST remember the storyline in the
Life With Archie comic book series (I have the entire run) is equivalent of a
alternate reality storyline continuity, akin to DC Comics'
Elseworlds series or Marvel Comics'
What If? series.
In effect, Life With Archie has two parallel storylines: one where Archie marries Veronica, one where Archie marries Betty. It's been an interesting storyline to read, to say the least as we see what the Archie gang are like as young adults in their (circa) mid 20's.

“Killed while defending homosexual Jughead from hateful Glen Beck fans”
I always kind of pictured Gomer Pyle and Jughead together as the perfect homo couple. I’m certain there is a term for sitcom characters who are gay for comic book characters as there seems to be a term or recognition for every sort of perversity.

I thought Glenn Beck likes the homosexuals.

Forgive me for asking but, who reads comic books anymore? You bring up a good point.. maybe over time Archie morphed from an upbeat, energetic teen to a morose, needy, suicidal loser. I just remember the series as it was decades ago.

I just remember they’re the ones responsible for foisting that damned “Sugar, Sugar” song on mankind.
