"We wanted to do something that was impactful that would really resonate with the world and bring home just how important Archie is to everyone," said Goldwater. "That's how we came up with the storyline of saving Kevin. He could have saved Betty. He could have saved Veronica. We get that, but metaphorically, by saving Kevin, a new Riverdale is born."

Betty and Veronica will need consoling. I hope Reggie gives them dope and has a 3 way.

So much for hanging out at the malt shop with Moose, Jughead, Betty and Veronica.

Seriously when did this stuff cease to be entertainment and start to become propaganda?

Yeah, you're about 4 decades too late. The remaining Archie readers will now be turned off by stupidity. Nice work

"Archie is not a superhero like all the rest of the comic book characters," said Goldwater. "He's human. He's a person. When you wound him, he bleeds. He knows that. If anything, I think his death is more impactful because of that. We hope by showing how something so violent can happen to Archie, that we can - in some way - learn from him."

I think fantasy land has become reality for some

Ah yes, jumping in front of an assassins bullet to save a gay anti-2nd amendment freedom hating friend will have a meaningful impact in my life. Just like all the good folks that had their faces eaten in the Walking Dead caused me to re-evaluate my life. Because, its so real and all.

I would imagine that most Archie readers were and are conservative in nature. Archie was always a pure Americana apple pie type of comic book so I cannot see this help them in any way. I think the writers have now doomed this comic if it wasn't already dead to begin with.

Perhaps if Mr. Keller had a gun ... Archie might still be alive ... and everything would be just FAAAAB-U-LOUS AND SU-PERRRRRRRR!

THIS.

It is a comic strip.

Keller isn't "gay"
Archie isn't "killed"
They are not REAL


It is a Comic Strip. One i NEVER cared about before and won't care about now.
