A more fitting end for Archie would have been for him to get shot in a carjacking by an illegal immigrant.Only if the illegal was under 16 years of age.

Face down or face up - either way he’s screwed.

It’s a desperation ploy. The Archie loyalists will buy the comic to complete their set. The collectors will buy the comic to complete the set.
But the gay community and it’s supporters will buy the comic in droves to make a point, with the hope being that a good sized chunk of them will hang around and buy future editions ...

Sounds like they killed their circulation by adding the homo character and rather than correct that mistake, they are doubling down.

“In “Life with Archie,” Keller [he] is a married military veteran and newly elected senator who’s pushing for more gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting.”
If that is what Archie has become about, then killing Archie off is a mercy. The pity is that this sludge was ever printed in the first place!

It would be more life-like if his gay friend shot him.

My first guess as well.

It should be noted the Life with Archie series is very much in the vein of DC Comics' Elseworlds or Marvel Comics' What If? publications--essentially an alternate reality from the normal continuity of the comic. As such, it really doesn't affect the current continuity of the other Archie Comics titles.

Well, then it’ll be more symbolic of the death of that failed side project than of the birth of Goldwater’s “new Riverdale” (which must resemble the Castro).

Chalk this up as the last, desperate gasp for attention of a medium that has been dying for a while and is not just about dead. No one reads comics anymore so this is their way of going out on what they believe to be a “feel good” note, although its sad to see how vapid and trendy that “feel good” note is — the cause of the day. Its a sad end for a long-running series that was popular at a time.

As I said, the entertainment media start with an agenda, then use the story line to get you to suspend your disbelief and your critical thinking, and then slip in a plug for their agenda.

That would be ... awesome.
Had a friend in college who played that scenario to the same end. At least twice. He was exceptionally good at “being” an ostensibly gay guy thinking that he might be straight because he found himself attracted to the women he was trying to bed ...

Right, but who the heck buys Archie comics? It must happen but I have never seen it with my own eyes. I mean say there was no lib garbage or gay stuff in it nowadays, who would be claiming Archie as their favorite comic book?! ‘Oh, man, I can’t wait for the next Archie book to come out’ is as alien to me as ‘Oh man, I can’t wait for the new jewelry shopping show to start’ or ‘Oh man, the next WNBA game is going to be great.’

In the new Archie comics, the phrase "I had to beat off three other guys." has a WHOLE DIFFERENT MEANING!
