I think she’s actually the most developed character of them all because we see her struggle to be like the other girls in the school, her longing to see Archie happy and the embarrassment over their break-up. He’s also so rude to his friends after he falls under Veronica’s spell.īetty is my favourite character out of all of them because she’s sweet, smart, beautiful and a fantastic mechanic. The comic was definitely still about him but he actually seemed like the least interesting character throughout this volume compared to Betty, Veronica and Jughead.

I wish the whole comic was illustrated by her because it’s such a refreshing look from the 40s style Archie I associated the story with.Īrchie doesn’t seem like he has much substance to his character and he really acts more like a narrator to the story than an actual main character. I can also see with clear perfection the drawings of Fiona Staples in the first three issues because the faces and expressions she illustrates are so similar to the fantastic Saga I’ve come to know very well. I love the cool, neon look of the fresh drop into the long-running history of Archie comics. It’s all here: the love triangle, friendship, humour, charm and lots of fun – but with a decidedly modern twist.Īn ARCHIE comic partly illustrated by the brilliant Fiona Staples?!
