oh my
Jughead, Betty and Archie by Saga’s Fiona Staples, who will be launching a new Archie comic next year with writer Mark Waid.
This is so huge (although I do hope it doesn’t affect the publishing schedule for Saga).
Fiona has stated that it won’t affect her Saga schedule, and so, REJOICE!!! Staples on Archie!!!
C'MON GIVE JUGHEAD A NEW HAT, SOMEBODY

What is going on at Archie Comics? I mean, when did they decide to just throw down the gauntlet of progressiveness in comics?
*******************
I don’t know, but HOW FUCKING AWESOME IS IT?
Seriously, that Archie, ARCHIE, would be blowing the big companies away with a progressive message the way they have been is nothing less than miraculous. I love them for it.
When the people running Archie were asked if they were worried about controversy (regarding having a gay male lead character in their family-friendly books), they responded in the best possible way. “We don’t care if bigots don’t like our comics.”
Sixty years later there was a gay wedding and nobody cast aspersions.
Surprisingly, it did not involve Jughead.
I’ve been reading Life With Archie very faithfully over the past year and a half, and my favorite part is always Ridiculously Evil Mr. Lodge.

You can take away Superman’s gymnast briefs, but Jughead’s inverted-and-cut-into-a-crown beanie from 1930s fashion persists through all time.
