Welcome to Litsy!

I am having Riverdale withdrawals. I decided what better way to cure than than to read the comics it was inspired by. Now granted these comics are not really like the show at all. They are an updated version of the old Archie comics, which I also love. The art in this was great. My only complaint is that it was very short, even for a graphic novel.

All ready for day two of #24in48 📚☕️📚

This was a fun comic with gorgeous art from Fiona Staples of Saga fame. The characters were a bit more modern and updated but the same classic story framework remains with the Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle.

It‘s been a long time since I‘ve picked up an Archie comic. When I was younger, my brother and I got to pick one item at the grocery store. I always choose an Archie or Betty & Veronica comic at check out. Seeing this made me happy.

I also love the show Riverdale...no shame 🤗

Boyfriend: Hey, I need to drop off my audio books to the library. Want to come?

Me: Is that a trick question?! Yes!

I have a large #TBR pile, but had to check these out. 🤗🍨

#Library #Saturday #Archie

I don‘t like Archie nearly as much as Jughead, but it‘s still a pick because REVAMPED ARCHIE. Archie and gang seem like they belong in modern time. I imagine fan of Archie have fallen in love all over again.

I thought this was a good update on the characters while staying true to the original feel of the series. Plus I like that so far there isn't an awkward love triangle 😀

This was way better than I expected. Archie brought up to date but still the same. We learn the background to Jughead's name! Archie isn't trying to date two women at once! There's an art joke about Chip Zedarsky! Definitely reading volume 2.

I loved these comics growing up, I remember going to the grocery and using my allowance to buy these. Fast forward to the present where I binged watched Riverdale and needed to read the comics so I went to the library to check out all over the Archie books available. 😂💖

🙂🙂

Day 2: It‘s Friday, Get Happy. One of the few perks of getting dragged to the grocery store with mom when I was younger was getting to pick up the Betty & Veronica Digests at the checkout line. Fast forward a couple of decades and my love of Riverdale and the Archie gang is back thanks to a recent binge watch of the tv series. Hoping to get some time this weekend to revisit the characters on the page, too.

I recently binged season 1 of Riverdale and decided to give the comics a try. Really enjoyed volume 1 and already have volume 2 ready to go!

After reading the intro about how writer Mark Waid and artist Fiona Staples are huge fans of the old Archie Comics, I knew I was in for a treat. They didn't update it with a bunch of cell phones and F-bombs, they kept it creatively true to the beloved characters we know and love. 😊🙌🏻

P.S. This is also my #allagescomic entry that completes my #readharder challenge. Yay! So I'd say that's good reason for 🍾🍾😁

Thanks to these cool kids, I made it to Hour 22! It's 2am, time for me to rest my eyes a bit and switch to an audio.

Happy Reading to all!

@DeweysReadathon

Since I grew up with the classic Archie comics, I'm anxious to read the new #graphic novels about these crazy teenagers in the New Riverdale. I'm starting with Archie Volume 1 for @DeweysReadathon plus it's my final entry for #readharder. 😊🙌🏻

#30daysofreadathon

Oh my goodness I love this modern retelling of the Archie comics. It‘s hilarious. I love Jughead. And the artwork is gorgeous.

@ElizaTodd and I have been reading all evening and it's so nice! This was really cool, look forward to reading more 😄 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved how beautiful the illustrations were! I'm a complete Jughead fan though, so I think I'll enjoy his comics a bit more! 🙈

imagining book clubs for tv shows may me one of my favorite things--especially with some added photoshopping. Here's Riverdale: http://www.quirkbooks.com/post/riverdale-book-club

Fiona Staples 😍😍😍 I love her art so much. I wish she did all the issues. I liked the others, too, but her issues are myfavorite. Her way of doing expressions...wow.

Definitely a fan of this reboot!
Read during #24in48

#hour21 My night time ritual involves icy drinks and a good book! Sometimes I listen to an audio book and play a mindless sort of game--like paper.io 🎧🎮 #24in48

Late hour 9 check-in. This has been a massive mood reading weekend for me so far! I haven't finished anything, but I've bailed on one and switched back and forth between fiction and non-fiction. Now to cross something off my TBR, with the assistance of my cold-brew iced coffee. #nosugar #withcream #24in48 #hour9

Don't mind me spending my mental health day reading all the Riverdale/Archie comics I can get my hands on 😎

Archie and Jughead, #besties for decades. #sizzlinsummnerbooks

The kids of Riverdale are my favourite American kids 👫👬👭

I'm really digging the new Archie series. Can't wait to get my hands on the next trade! Jughead makes for quite the lovable #smartass too. #Characters2017 @LibrarianRyan

I think binge-watching Riverdale shows that there #AintNobody I'd rather spend my day off with. #JuneTunz

Bought these because I really liked Season 1 of #Riverdale and I need a fix of the gang before Season 2 comes along! 💜💜💜

It's pretty amazing how entertaining a modernized take on Archie filtered through Twin Peaks ended up being. I haven't been this pleasantly surprised by a show since Bates Motel.

#Sugar makes me think of that bubblegum pop song by The Archies, "Sugar, Sugar," which naturally makes me think of Archie comics, and I keep meaning to read the 2015 updated ones because OH MY GOD ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING RIVERDALE? I can't even. #LyricalApril

This was really fun! The art style is great, and the story is engaging and interesting so far. The characters and story are very different from Riverdale, but this is still a great addition to the modern Archie canon.

I haven't really felt like reading anything lately, but this just became available through my #library via #hoopla. Graphic novels and comics usually get be back into my reading groove, so here's hoping! I'm 100% obsessed with #riverdale so I knew I'd be reading this eventually. 😉

Taking a break from binging #Riverdale to read some of the source. Who else is obsessed with #Riverdale? 🙋

I started watching Riverdale on The CW. I couldn't get enough of the world and I knew there was a reboot for the comics. This was super cute. Totally worth the read. Can't wait for the next one!

Until #24in48, I hadn't read any #comics in probably 20 years, I read some updated Archies and started watching Riverdale so I guess I'm sort of into them again. #Riotgrams

Archie Comics is killing it lately. I'm obsessed with the new comic books and the tv show, Riverdale. Anyone else watching?

Archie Comics is killing it lately. I'm obsessed with their new comics and also the new tv show Riverdale. Anyone else watching?

what a great new spin on a classic! fun stories, gorgeous art! I'm in love with the four panel spread in the photo.

After reading a couple issues of the retooled Archie and the March trilogy, I've #changedmymindabout comics and graphic novels. It took me some time to get into them, and they probably still won't be automatic reads for me but I've learned to appreciate them. #feistyfeb

Super cute! Loved the art, and can't wait for the standalone Jughead comic! 😍 Plus it was great that it was super accessible for this first time Archie reader (couldn't get into the style of the classics 😓). Onward to volume 2!

So, I just watched the series premiere of Riverdale and OH MY GOD. I was obsessed with Archie comics as a kid (my parents used to send me as many as they could fit in my camp care packages) and...just wow. It's like Twin Peaks meets Gossip Girl meets a post-modern, noir-esque The O.C.

Read: I'm in love and need more Archie in my life. I've been holding out on the somewhat recent comic reboot, but I think it's time.

Did you guys watch #Riverdale?

Archie is so. much. angst! I love Josie & the Pussycats! And am team Betty & Veronica right now. But the underlying dark mystery is my favorite part!

What did you think?

Anyone else have this pop into their minds? 😂

After reading #9 at the start of #24in48 and only finding it so so, I read #10 and 11 just now and I'm beginning to get back into the swing of things. I don't think I've read a comic in 30 years but I think I may check out some more Archie's and assorted Riverdale characters in the future.

Unless your average Archie reader is in their 40s, you should probably ask your grandparents about these acts kids....

I couldn't find #9 in here which is what I really read for my first #24in48 book. It's been a long time since I read a comic but I read it for #ReadHarder as an all ages comic. I liked it ok--enough to read #10 and #11, which I also have checked out but I'm not sure I'll read any others.

Childhood affection for the Riverdale gang still going strong.

I am reviewing vol. 2 here, which I didn't see listed specifically. I really loved how this book plays with the classic Archie look and layout. It was fun and still surprising, even though the characters have already been written so much.
