As someone who read Archie comics as a kid, this was interesting from a cultural standpoint. I'm a fan of Fiona Staples and definitely enjoyed the artwork but ultimately, this is clearly crass commercialization and an attempt to keep the comic relevant and selling to a modern audience.
to be clear: This is issue #1 of all the new Archie comics, not anything specific to Riverdale the show. BUT I think it's a great idea to collect all the first issues like this, kind of a lil comic sampler. I really did like most of these comics more than I expected! (I know, I know, the new Archie comics have some really good writers/artists attached to them, but in the back of my head I was still like....yeah but it's Archie though? SORRY) I'm definitely going to follow up with the Josie & the Pussycats comic and Jughead. I think this is a good intro for a new-to-Archie (or at least new-to-New-Archie) reader BUT it could be misleading for someone wanting something more like [b:The Flash Season Zero 25241730 The Flash Season Zero Andrew Kreisberg https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1481053563s/25241730.jpg 44961196] but for Riverdale.
