Damn you Mark Waid for making me read an Archie comic! And actually liking it! Not quite as good as volume 1. I missed the single arc throughout the book. This reverts to the structure of the Archie days of old in that each issue has multiple chapters. The overall story is Archie and Veronica dealing with how they come from very different backgrounds. Betty is still trying to come to term with the fact that Archie is now with Veronica. Meanwhile, Veronica's dad is running for mayor and divides t...

My son Archie's review: he found it could because Archie is too fond Ronnie and needs to slow down and Mr Lodge's mayoral campaign was funny, and he thought Ronnie was taking too much space and is happy that Betty is back in the spotlight.My review: beautiful art, funny stories, great story arc - this reboot is fantastic!

Loved this issues SO MUCH. Archie and Veronica are too cute to boot.

I didn't think it was quite as awesome as volume 1, but it was still really good.Like everyone else, I miss Fiona Staples art. But, even so, it's not like the panels are hard to look at. And it does have the same feel to it as Welcome to Riverdale, which makes me happy. I'm not a big fan of those comics that change the art style every other issue.Alright. So, this one is mostly about Archie and Veronica dealing with the differences in their backgrounds and trying to make things work. Of course,

A very well-written follow up to Archie, Vol. 1. It had some excellent art and appropriately vibrant colours to backup the compelling high school drama with an enthusiastic amount of humour.The plot perfectly captured the small town and high school affairs and featured a wide variety of dynamic and diverse characters. The main characters all had intertwined and interesting storylines that became more exciting the messier they got.Unfortunately, the flaw in this vol and in Archie’s characterisati...

The first volume was great and this makes a great follow-up. This second Volume is not quite as good as the first, but it's still entertaining. Betty and Archie find it hard to put their past behind them. Jughead continues to eat more hamburgers. We get less dynamics from other characters at school and this focuses on the main 4 characters.I love the vibrant colorful artwork still. I can see this getting old soon and it's kinda binge worthy.

Mark Waid is continuing to do an excellent job with this Archie reboot. I was never all that interested in the classic comics, but in Waid's capable hands I'm found myself drawn to these characters stories more than ever before. Plus, I've been enjoying The CW's take on the characters in Riverdale as well - admittedly, it's altogether different, but it it's thoroughly hooked me. Waid's new graphic novel series, like the tv adaptation, has made 75 year old characters fresh and engaging again in n...

Archie Series Ratings:Archie, Vol. 1: ★★★★Archie, Vol. 2: ★★★Archie, Vol. 3: Lost interest in series/b>—I read the first volume because I loved the T.V. show Riverdale the show has gone so downhill though and used to love the original Archie comics.I enjoyed the first one, I found myself a bit bored with this one. I'm going to try Vol 3, since that when my girl Cheryl Blossom comes in, and I'll see how I feel about continuing from there. — I read this book as part of my 2018 Library Love binge,

This is about as good as the last volume. I enjoyed it quite a bit. They did a lot more to make Veronica less stereotypical awful for a rich girl. There's a Fish Out of Water storyline where she tries to adjust to Archie's lifestyle. Eventually she buys a lot of really expensive things and brings a butler and a chef to his house and really inconveniences his mother. They overhear his parents talking about it, she feels bad and tries to fix it. The scene with her in the grocery store was really c...

2022 Update: I still loved the characters as much as the first time. It's always interesting watching Veronica develop as character. She's not necessarily my favorite character, but Riverdale wouldn't be the same without her. This was a good solid comic and I really enjoyed the artwork. I still think that it could have given me a little more but I would be lying if I said it didn't push me to read more Archie comics because I really love the characters.

Archie Archie Archie. I can't believe I'm really reading a Archie book but here I am. So Archie is now with Veronica. Things are just getting...well...kind of not great. See Ronnie (nickname) is very rich. Archie? Not so much. So Archie is dealing with that. His feelings for Betty are still there. Betty feels the same. However Archie is also dealing with Ronnie's father who's a rich piece of shit who hates Archie cause he destroyed his business. So around and around we go in the next few days of...

Archie is still a lot of fun to read, and you get what you're looking for. Archie causes a lot of accidents. Jughead eats a lot of burger. Betty helps people when it's not in her best interest. And, Veronica doesn't understand the little people. There's a plot in which Mr. Lodge runs for political office, which explains why the Lodges are in Riverdale and why Veronica is going to a public school. I really liked that story because it drives a real wedge between the members of the Riverdale gang.

I like this volume very much. Waid continues to keep the story fresh and interesting. I will say that I feel really sorry for Betty in this volume. Archie does not deserve her, that putz.

Pop quiz: what's more unrealistic, this book or Riverdale? In these issues, Veronica "moves in" to Archie's household by bringing a full-screen TV, French chef, and lawn-style laser-tag game, and I would still pick Riverdale. Regardless, most of the stories in here are turned up to 11 and have too much slapstick. I do love Veronica Fish's art in issues 6-10, and thought the mishap with the pictures of the governor in the newspaper was genuinely funny. I really like that the updated Archie includ...

Every bit as good as the first volume. It's funny, the art is great, and the drama may not be entirely realistic, but it's believable and entertaining.

I’ve been waiting for this one ever since I finished reading volume 1! Archie has been a part of my life ever since I was a kid. I would read the comics all the time as my mom would bring the digests home for me every once in a while. This second volume picks up right where the first left off. Archie (as always) is bouncing back and forth between Betty & Veronica while obtaining important advice from his best friend Jughead. I’m not sure if I enjoyed this volume as much as I enjoyed the first on...

I think it's even more impressive that Mark Waid has managed the balancing act of the new Archive series through this second volume. Everything here is good - each issue is a done-in-one story that builds on the overall arc, leading to an exciting climactic car chase. And it's all done with a keen balance of humor, pathos, teen angst and humanity. This is your classic Archie, as filtered through modern culture, and it just works. The art varies by issue but it never gets in the way of the story,...

I'm sort of surprised at how quickly I'm over the novelty of the updated, continuing soap-opera version of Archie. It's not bad, I just cannot find it in me to care.

Continuing to enjoy this reboot. Waid does a terrific job of blending nostalgia with modern times to produce a delightful read.

I absolutely am loving these comics. I love how Veronica is trying so hard to be loved and accepted by Archie and his parents. Even though she is just buying really expensive things. But you really see that she doesn't know the basic things that middle-class people like Archie grow up with. Like setting the table. Betty seems to be regretting the lip-stick incident as well... it is getting very interesting...Also I am really excited about that red head on the next volume's cover. Like I am so pu...
