At this past July's Comic-Con International in San Diego, Archie Comics announced that not only would its exceedingly popular new character, Kevin Keller, the first openly homosexual member of the iconic Riverdale Gang, will star in his own ongoing series, but that readers would also see Keller get married in a future issue of Life With Archie. The publisher announced this week that the happy event will take place in Life With Archie #16, on sale in January.

I believe the original Archie writer was a Born again Christian. I don’t know who writes it now, but the originator must be rolling in his grave!
My 9-year old son likes the Archie Digest. I haven't run into gay characters in them, or any controversy. Yet.
I’ve never read Archie, but I’ve read a little about this. Archie and the gang and this gay kid are still in high school, but there’s an alternate future book where Archie is married to one of the girls. In fact, I think they couldn’t decide, so they have one version where he’s married to Betty and one where’s he’s married to Veronica. Oh, and they had a storyline where Obama and Palin were debating at the school and it was “nonpartisan.” Nonpartisan in that Archie chose Obama, and his enemy chose Palin. Gee, I wonder who the writers like.
Thanks for the info. Sounds awful. Who would want to read that for fun?
Salman Dude ! You actually posted this Crap.!!
This is all you have to do on a Saturday night.?
Sorry man.
They couldn’t have a black kid choose Obama and a white kid choose Palin — too obvious.
What a goofy grin
BTW, Archie and the gang are teenagers. What's the deal with setting them up in a future where they are adults anyway? "Archie" readers are kids, not grown-ups. Who is the target audience? Gay 20 somethings who still read Archie? Can't imagine that demographic is that large.
Can the Irish sue? I see a very special Archie AIDS Special coming.........
I just read on Wiki that the creator was Jewish but licensed them out for Christian use because he figured they shared his values. And the guy in charge now who is gaying it up is his son.
PUKE.
The destruction of a moral society continues..........
I read the GI Joe comic for a few years as a kid but haven’t really looked at one much in the years since that came and went except for some of the rebooted GI Joe ones a year or two back.
I still prefer the 80s ones with the fun commercials:
