In relation to Betty Cooper’s obvious insanity, I give you this, brought to my attention by Jaime Weinman: This would be Betty, trying to murder Archie, because Archie had the temerity to blow off a date with her. What’s worse is that Archie clearly has no idea about how crazy Betty is, and Jughead clearly […]

Simon Owens over at Bloggasm has his own response to the Blevins outing I talked about yesterday, and it’s worth reading, but I specifically wanted to address one point: I pointed out that Whelan might have been angry because when he writes under his own name he is constantly risking his reputation, and this sometimes […]

One that is archetypal but with some relatively well-written dialogue, and another immediately after that’s pretty much the same thing, except a few names and places changed around. — Rawrasaur

Recently, the news that Archie will propose to Veronica has been sweeping the nation. Much like how Captain America died or Batman died. Now it is Archie Comics’ turn to temporarily revive the fortunes of a flagging intellectual property through a shamless stunt. Of course, this particular move, like so many others, has been met […]
