Archie Dies Saving A Homosexual's Life.

Remember as a youngster snuggling up under the covers or laying across the bed after pulling out a stack of your favorite comics? Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Casper the Friendly Ghost. And almost everyone's favorite from Riverdale High - Archie!

The adventures of redheaded Archie and his friends Veronica, Betty and Jughead were wholesome, kid-friendly family fun. It all began in 1941. 75 years - what a wonderful legacy.

On July 16, everything changed. In the words of progressive Archie comic publisher and CEO, John Goldwater, "A new Riverdale is born!"

Suffice it to say, our freckled-face friend is fatally shot saving the life of his homosexual buddy, Kevin, who is now part of the gang. Kev' enjoys his gay marriage and serves as a senator, solidly pushing gun-control and modeling diversity for all the young readers.

Aren't they all high school students? Why are teenagers hanging out with a gay senator?

I started comics and I'm not seeing the Betty-Veronica dichotomy (sweet and innocent, but stupid vs. rich and sexy, but bitchy) that everyone talks about. Betty is the one doing the backstabbing and being underhanded in general while Veronica seems to be the more innocent one, on account of being a sheltered rich girl. Maybe these were later comics where they tried switching up the formula or something?

I've read a theory before about jews hating actually rich white people so tried to force her and other white rich characters to be "evil" and bitchy while at the same time made blonde characters being dumb but "nice".

She was villainized during the Kevin Keller (gay man) vs Veronica Lodge (straight woman) arc and never recovered

It's yet another milking farm franchise.
As to its "continuity", consider the very existence of Archie vs Predator…
IMHO the same general approach applies to most lines that ran long enough to outlive their own running gags:
⁃ start at the earliest,
⁃ read until it all gets "more of the same" and you are bored,
⁃ later return for some self-parodies and crossovers.

I don't think I've read them since I was a kid, but I can't really name any reason other than nostalgia. I have a fond feeling for Archie comics but can't really say why other than that.

No, I don't even have the skills to do something like that. Maybe someone else edited it, but I saved it from somewhere a long time ago but don't remember where.
