This was my first time reading an Archie comic, I always knew that they were these fun, easy to relate to kinds of stories that have been loved by fans for years. Even though I am familiar with the cast of characters in Archie comics, I was afraid that jumping into the franchise on this issue would cause me to feel a little lost, but that was not the case. When I opened up the issue and started reading I felt as though I had been reading these characters stories my whole life. Well, except for the character Kevin Keller, the character that this issue was all about.
What is so special about Kevin Keller one may ask? Well for months it has been known that Archie was going to be introducing the first gay character to ever come to Riverdale, and that character is Kevin Keller.
W
hen I opened the issue I was wondering when, where and how the comic was going to reveal that he is gay and to my surprise, it only took 6 pages! I thought the way they introduced Kevin was really unique, tactful, and comfortable. It is a fun, funny story that kept me interested the whole time. The issue was written in a way that used easy to read words and keeping the sentence structure simple so that a large age group could enjoy it. Also, I really like how Archie Comics have kept the old art style alive, not really deterring from the original style, keeping it simple and classic.
What I really like about this issue is that it reads like a one-shot and if anyone wanted to read this comic they could with relative ease and enjoy the story. I feel as though that Kevin will fit right in with the Archie Universe and will be a popular addition. I am looking forward to how his character will be developed. This is a great read, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
