One of the other reasons for me being on board right away was that it was beginning from scratch, a new start that welcomed new readers into the fold while still offering traits that readers of the old-school books could enjoy. I had read a few bumper editions of classic Archie prior, and really dug them. I didn’t grow up with Archie Comics in my hands (sadly) but I was very interested in this relaunched series. Prior to reading this volume of Archie I wasn’t what you’d call someone who was overly familiar with the world. Written by the excellent Mark Waid with artists Fiona Staples (for issues 1 to 3), Annie Wu (issue 4) and Veronica Fish (issues 5 and 6), this was the start of something special, and so it was a total joy to go back and read it again in order to talk about it here in this first review in a series. 1 was released all the way back in 2015 and collects issues 1-6 on the rebooted Archie franchise. I mentioned in said article that I would be reviewing many of those books, and so what better place to begin than from the newest iteration of Archie and the first volume of that series.Īrchie Vol. I previously penned an article here on Nerdly about the Archieverse and the various titles, old and new, to come from this wonderful world of comics.
