CW's Archie Comics TV Show "Riverdale" Thread

Haven't read either, but I have a few collections/issues of those series from an Archie Comics Humble Bundle I bought awhile ago.

fukk!!! When did they have that? Ever since it was announced a Pilot was being ordered, I've been having nostalgia for Archie comics & been thinking of buying or torrenting them.

Like one or two years ago, I think. I have a bunch of Transformers collection from about the same time as well that IDW did with Humble Bundle. Still haven't gotten around to those either. Just too lazy to download them and convert them to Kindle or whatever.

How do you convert eBooks & Digital comics to Kindle?

How do you convert eBooks & Digital comics to Kindle?

I think you just download them as .pdfs and select Kindle as the program to open them HB lets you download in various formats.

I used to have a bunch of the double digests back in the day. This is the only one to stay with me after all these years:

From January 1990. Wrote my name on it like an idiot.

Has an ad for Jordan vs. Bird NES game on the back.

I still remember which 1 is my very first issue:

I think he means Valerie from Josie and the p*ssycats. She and Archie married and have a bebe

So Archie passed up on two white women for a black woman.

CW better get their social media ready for the onslaught of racist who ain't read an Archie comic in decades.

Y'all never read a Archie Comics digest or double digest book growing up? They regularly sold them with the magazines next to the Candy at the cashier checkout lines at Grocery stores.That's how they attract kids to get into Archie Comics.


@STAN JONES If this show is like comics, this show is gonna be a straight-up Teen Dramedy. Show is basically a replacement for the non-genre Teen Dramas that the CW used to air ("Gossip Girl", "90210", "One Tree Hill", & etc.). The target audiences is Comic Books fans who grew up reading Archie Comics (Greg Berlanti is also producing this show) & folks who like to watch those Teen Dramas the CW used to air. PERFECT for the CW's audience.

I'll watch

You still haven't watched "One Tree Hill" yet? You should binge-watch this summer in the meantime if you haven't yet.

Naw, I used to watch this short-lived animated series that aired weekdays mornings on PAX TV (now called Ion Television) back in the 1999-2000 TV season called "Archie's Weird Mysteries":
