iZombie ... sort of goes without saying ...

I've been reading PS238 which is hilarious and a great story. As well as the usual weekly Adventures of Supergirl & Injustice.

If course tomorrow is Wednesday, so all the new issue ... Archie #7, Henchgirl #6, and Spider-women Alpha ... among others ...

I got 3 books at the library
Sugar skull by Charles Burns
Morning glories. Vol. 8-Rivals
Archie vs. Predator 

Sugar Skull is the third book in a trilogy:  X'ed Out, The Hive & Sugar Skull — they are very closely tied together and don't make much sense if read out of order (actually it's a bit of a mystery what is happening when you read them in order) ...

What's up with miss grundy?!?!
Like really?! A young hot 20 something year old looks like

Well, according to script leaks Archie is having affair with one of his teachers .... doesn't say which of course, but why add no-name teachers ...

Current Archie Logic:

Reggie has dark hair + Asian people have dark hair = Reggie is Asian!
Dilton has dark hair + Asian people have dark hair = Dilton is Asian!
Veronica has dark hair + Latinas have dark hair = Veronica is Latina!

WE'RE BEING PROGRESSIVE AND DIVERSE!  MEDIA PRAISE US AND GIVE US MONEY PLOX! WE'RE NOT OUT OF TOUCH OR CLUELESS AT ALL!

You forgot the "Dilton is smart → Dilton must be Asian" cliche

What would Erica H come up with if asked to draw "ugly"?  Do we want to know? Anyway, she's leaving so hopefully we won't have to ...

Ethel? Tall, skinny, good at sports, nice, but low self-esteem — I'd say she mostly chases Jug because she wants a boyfriend and he's conspicuously unattached ... no one is chasing her and she doesn't believe she can compete — you don't need ugly for that ...

He's there pretty much as one of the main gang in Jughead, but for anything more it seems like no news is bad news with ACP

+1 to DR for Tomoko — Akira is her (slightly) younger brother ...

Kumi Tanura — first appeared in the new story in Betty & Veronica Digest #190 (not Double) and was in the multi-part "Battle of the BFFs" story paired with Brigitte Reilly ... plus a few other random appearances scattered over a ½ dozen different stories and issues

Patty Pacer and Gerta Gravel (girls' team coaches/gym teachers)

That's "Greta Grappler"

QuoteThe show as a whole may not on it's own terms — it will definitely suck at being Archie.

I think it will suck in general.  There's nothing about this that doesn't sound cringe worthy. 

One person's suck is another man's bl... er, ... probably should refrain from finishing that, but a lot of people will probably enjoy it ...

Sorry for the negatitvity in advance:

I think that if ACP cant cover the cost of 15 pages, then something is up.
If the TV SHOW fails, then most likely the reboot will also fail, leading to the (gasp) Death (tragic, I know) of ACP.


Let us hope not.

ACP won't die — it'll be bought up for nothing by some bigger company (after they've finished trashing the brand maybe even IDW or Dark Horse could afford them ... and we might see something positive done with the characters.

I was wondering if we'd ever see streaky again — guess he jumped ship ...

They have changed so many things to the point that the only thing this show has in common with the comics is just the name, and the character's names. That's about it. They have absolutely no respect towards the legacy of the comic and to the fans.

Comics have never gotten much respect — just a fact of life ...
