This is NOT the Archie I grew up with.... (by WalkSoftly)
Even comics have gone full retard.....
"" Archie Andrews, a staple of American comics
since 1941, will die in Wednesday's issue of
Life with Archie . And he'll say goodbye to the
series with one last act of heroism: Archie will
take a bullet meant for best friend Kevin
Keller, the first openly gay character in his
comic universe. In doing so, he'll foil an
assassination attempt against Keller and,
according to the story's creators, give rise to
greater understanding and tolerance in his
fictional town of Riverdale. The final issue
arrives as many Americans continue to work
tirelessly on behalf of gay rights and to extend
marriage equality across the US.
"He dies selflessly," said Jon Goldwater, Archie
Comics publisher and co-CEO, speaking to the
Associated Press. "He dies in the manner that
epitomizes not only the best of Riverdale but
the best of all of us." Archie Comics first
revealed that Andrews' death would mark the
conclusion of Life with Archie back in April .
The comic is a flash-forward series that
catches up with Archie and his friends long
after their high school and college days.
Kevin Keller was introduced to Riverdale
in Veronica issue 202 almost four years ago.
That issue proved so popular that Archie
Comics needed to order a reprint — the first in
its 70-year history. Created by artist Dan
Parent, military brat Keller was featured in a
four-issue miniseries and went on to headline
his own comic. Kevin Keller earned the GLAAD
Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book in
2013, according to Rolling Stone.
But he's also been a regular in Life with
Archie ; an issue celebrating Keller's marriage
was released in 2012. In the storyline, Keller
meets his husband at a military hospital while
both are active servicemen. "The world of
Riverdale has to reflect contemporary culture
and to show it is an accepting, diverse place,"
Parent said at the time. ""
