I'm not an Archie aficionado by any means, but I'm aware of the cultural zeitgeist. That said, I found this re-vamp enchanting and timely. Fiona Staples knocked it out of the park with the illustrations (see panels detailing Archie's failed attempts at jobs, specifically the ice-cream shop). I mean, really, look at that cover. Archie is a fox!

This is my first time with Mark Waid, and the text is lovely. It has the old Archie feel, the Betty/Veronica drama, and good ol' Jughead, but again makes it feel like this gang was born in this generation.

Great for adults and teens as Waid keeps the spirit of Riverdale.
