While I agree with that in general, it does limit many things to an Archie perspective...

Okay, I admit that I'm just counting the Superteen stories printed in B&V and B&Me where she's the star of the story, so I'm not counting any appearances outside of those titles with The United Three, like in LIFE WITH ARCHIE #50. I'm missing that story, as well as "To the Rescue" from B&Me #5.
Yes, you mentioned them — they aren't there because (as mentioned on the old board) I hate Little Archie and they are separate enough I can ignore them — still, I've added a couple of notes to Re: SuperTeens just for archival accuracy ... :)

All About Archie / List discussion?
April 28, 2016, 05:29:33 AM
In the pre-crash forum I had several Lists of various Archie series — the Betty & Veronica titles, Sabrina, Josie (& the Pussycats), Cheryl Blossom, Archie 1, Archie the Barbarian, Archie 3000, Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E., Superteens, etc... some were by request and some I was looking for help completing ... so I'm sort of going back to that, but hopefully more organized, and to keep it that way I'd like to use this thread as discussion, and one in Story Help just as a reference; (I'll update there with any changes based on this thread) ... not sure how well this will work but the idea is to have a nice reference for specific characters and "alternate reality" series that are scattered or hard to find.

The actual List thread is: Archie lists and Alterverses

The Superteen stories are some of my favorite Betty stories of all time. I have scans of all but one of them, and I have most of them in reprinted versions too. In BETTY AND ME #4, there's a 13-page epic where she fights Magnet Girl, the "Maid of Mischief". I was looking at that the other day, and noticing that Magnet Girl is a redhead and a mean girl, who schemes to thwart Superteen at every turn. She looks and acts amazingly like Cheryl Blossom, but the Superteen stories were printed in 1965 and 1966, while Cheryl wasn't introduced until BETTY AND VERONICA #320 (1982). Still, we never do see Magnet Girl without her mask or learn her true identity...



Err... it's kind of difficult to explain exactly what's going on in this panel...
Only one?  :( I'm missing 3  :-[ I'll post what I know of in a separate thread (from my same list as the A-1's 〔which I haven't forgotten, but they are way more chaotic and scattered and I haven't had time to put in a presentable form yet〕)

Reggie has had his own comic a (very) few times in the past but never done well with it — he got defined as a member of the core group decades ago and that's become set in stone over the years, but he's essentially a foil/antagonist and alternative for dating than a lead ... Given the small number of books they seem to be willing/able to put out at one time I doubt they'd even consider it seriously ...

ACP seems to worry about it a lot — as in panic — but their response is generally dictated by executives with no real idea of how they relate to reality trying to grab onto passing trends, with results most charitably described as "zen" or more accurately as decapitated chicken ...

📼 📺 📀 📼 Now it's only 23 days till The CW decides if RiverDale will be a show on their network on 5/19/16 📼 📺 📀 📼.
Do ya think it's gonna make it to a full season?
If it gets picked up at all it will almost certainly get to run a full season, but what that is will be defined in the contract — anywhere from 6-24 episodes these days, with 22 being the most common regular season, but 13 being common for a 1st season/trial/replacement series ...

Why the hell are they turning Melody black?  Valerie is in the cast list, so why change Melody's race?  Really getting fed up with race changing when casting comic characters.  Leave them alone and don't change characters that have been around probably longer than anyone assoicated with the show has been.
Because they can? Marvel really started the whole race-swapping thing when they had the chance to get Samuel L.Jackson to play Nick Fury — that was just a marketing thing to have a big name actor for a major character ... they at least introduce new characters to do it these days ...  DC is the one that is the worst — their TV shows seem to automatically swap red-head → black character which I take quite personally, and aside from Archie and Cheryl ACP seems to be fallowing their lead and expanding on it ...

This Cheryl Blossom hasn't made it into the new Archie and Jughead series yet. Being as popular as people say she is that surprises me a bit. Maybe she will be more a regular in the new Betty and Veronica series.
She will be a primary character in the new TV series (if it goes to air) at least initially ...

QuoteIs she as popular as Kevin Keller?
At her peak in the late '90s she was much more popular — though so was Archie comics in general ... and she got more exposure in the comics for longer, so it's probably not a fair comparison either way. She's likely to show up in the New Riverdale comics eventually (she's from a rival school in a more affluent suburb, so there's no contradiction in her not being there immediately)

Left- click zooms a little, but you should have a context zoom option on the right-click menu that adjusts independently (or use 'show image') - the resolution is high enough to read.
