This review is one of many over at Rachel Reading. Check it out!

I, like the rest of the world it seems, has fallen in love with the television show Riverdale. I never really expected to like the show, and I really had no knowledge of Archie being comics originally, or that Sabrina the Teenage Witch was somehow related. However, once I saw in the credits something like "Based off the Archie Comics" I was curious if they had done a revival due to the show.

Of course, they had. And Comixology Unlimited had the first volume available, so of course I decided to read it. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a comic version of the show, in fact I feel like it nicely balances the darkness of the show with, from what my understanding is, the lightness of the original comics. We meet Archie who was with Betty and they broke up because of something that happened, and we watch as Veronica enters town for the first time.

This was a very quick, delightful read, and I would highly recommend for Riverdale fans! Chip Zdarsky and Fiona Staples are both extremely talented artists, and if you're looking for a comic that would be a great palate cleanser. The story is fun and easy to follow, even if you aren't into Riverdale, and doesn't seem to take itself super seriously (in a very good way!)
