Middle School (2016-2019)

The gang saw more changes during their middle school years:

In Riverdale, the Riverdale Podcast ended. More digests were canceled, and more debuted. Riverdale aired its first three seasons (and released two tie-in novels, other merchandise, and most of its tie-in comics). New Riverdale had its most prolific output, launching the ongoing Josie and the Pussycats, The Archies, and Betty & Veronica: Vixens and putting out the Reggie and Me, Betty & Veronica, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Jughead's Time Police miniseries and Big Moose one-shot. The Archie title had a soft relaunch and renumbering under a new writer. The AU Life With Kevin title was canceled. Two reprint floppy titles (Betty and Veronica: Friends Forever and Archie & Friends) debuted. As for the horror titles, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina stopped, and Jughead: The Hunger, Vampironica, and Blossoms 666 (which also ended) started. Various other AU, crossover, and new-look miniseries and one-shots were launched, including Archie Meets Ramones, Harley and Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica, Your Pal Archie, Archie's Superteens Versus Crusaders, Archie Meets Batman '66, Archie 1941, Red Sonja and Vampirella Meet Betty and Veronica, Archie vs. Predator II, and Archie: The Married Life - 10th Anniversary. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina put out its first 20 (of 36) episodes and a tie-in novel.

At school, students were shaken by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and Santa Fe High School shooting. The March for Our Lives was held.

The United States was shaken by the Las Vegas Strip shooting, Sutherland Springs church shooting, Capital Gazette shooting, Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting, El Paso Walmart shooting, and Dayton shooting.

On the technology side, the Sony PlayStation 4 Slim, Sony PlayStation 4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, New Nintendo 2DS XL, Microsoft Xbox One X, and Oculus Rift S launched; YouTube debuted High Dynamic Range resolution; Sony PlayStation 4 (original model), Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox One (original model), Nintendo Wii U, and Sony PlayStation Vita were discontinued; and the first SD cards to store 1 terabyte were introduced.

Before we proceed any further, this is the point at which the current iteration of the gang entered high school, so I think a list of the Archie-related media that had come out since their birth is helpful here. It gives a sense of how much of it has fallen out of the "high school window". For obvious reasons, the classic floppy titles are omitted:

Elementary School (2010-2016)

The gang saw more changes during their elementary school years:

In Riverdale, Kevin Keller debuted, making history as Riverdale's first openly gay character. More digests were canceled, and more debuted. Betty, Veronica, Archie & Friends (floppy), and Archie's Pal Jughead were canceled, and the long-running Archie newspaper strip came to an end. A popular fan-made Riverdale film trailer was released, eerily predicting the TV series in hindsight. A series of three prose novels (xoxo, Betty and Veronica), a Kevin novel, and the Diary of a Girl Next Door: Betty novel came out. Archie Comics Messageboard (Archie Comics Fan Forum) debuted. The Riverdale Podcast premiered. AU horror titles Afterlife With Archie (which also stopped during this time) and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina debuted. The entirety of the Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch TV series ran. Life With Archie: The Married Life came to an end. The Archie vs. Predator miniseries and Archie vs. Sharknado one-shot came out. The long-running Archie and Betty and Veronica floppy titles came to an end. Another Robot Chicken parody came out. New Riverdale launched with the Archie, Jughead, and Betty and Veronica titles. The AU Life With Kevin miniseries started. The Riverdale pilot episode was produced.

At school, the No Child Left Behind Act was replaced with the Every Student Succeeds Act.

The United States was shaken by the shocking murder of singer Christina Victoria Grimmie and the Pulse nightclub shooting.

On the positive side, same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide, and besties with benefits became a thing among girls and women.

On TV, daytime soap operas took a massive hit with the cancelation of three long-running series (and the failed online relaunches of two of them).

On the spiritual side, the Catholic Church saw another change of leadership with the shocking resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis, and the shift to the Age of Aquarius began.

On the technology side, Instagram, Nintendo 3DS (going up through XL), Facebook Messenger, Kindle Fire, Sony PlayStation Vita, Tinder, Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim, Windows 8, Snapchat, Nintendo Wii U, Microsoft Xbox 360 E, Google Chromecast, iPhone 5S, Nintendo 2DS, Windows 8.1, Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One (up through S), Amazon Fire TV, Sony PlayStation Vita Slim (PCH-2000), PlayStation TV, Apple Pay, Google Nexus Player, Amazon Fire TV Stick, New Nintendo 3DS (up through XL), Apple Watch, Windows 10, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, Steam Machine, Ultra HD Blu-ray, Oculus Rift, and Galaxy Note 7 launched; YouTube debuted 60 fps resolution, 360-degree capability, and 8K resolution; Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation Portable, Nintendo 3DS (original and XL), Microsoft Xbox 360, and VCRs were discontinued; and the first Chromebooks, the first 4TB and 8TB hard drives, 4K home theater projectors, 4K televisions, and the world's first 13 TB solid state drive were introduced. The first five-atom quantum computer was created.

Before School:

From their birth to the time that they started school, there were a lot of changes for the Riverdale gang:

Numerous digests were canceled, and two (Tales From Riverdale and Jughead & Friends) came and went during that time. Various tie-in books for a live-action Betty and Veronica movie (which never happened) were released. Katy Keene got a reboot. Sabrina's series and Betty and Veronica Spectacular ended. The AU magazine title, Life With Archie: The Married Life, debuted. The gang put out a Christmas album. The Robot Chicken parodies began.

In TV, film, and music, Daniel Craig made his debut as James Bond, the Wild Things series put out its final two films to date, The CW launched, and Taylor Swift made her music debut.

The Catholic Church saw a change of leadership for the first time in nearly 27 years with the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of Pope Benedict XVI.

The United States got its first non-white president in Barack Obama.

On the technology side, Sony PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Xbox 360 (original and S), YouTube (going all of the way up to 4K resolution), Twitter, YouPorn, Facebook, Sony PlayStation 3 (moving on to the Slim version), Nintendo Wii, Netflix's streaming service, Windows Vista, Pornhub, iPhone (going up through 4), Amazon MP3 (Amazon Music), Google Chrome, Windows 7, iPad, and FaceTime launched; VHS, Sony PlayStation (1), Nintendo GameCube, Microsoft Xbox (1), and Nintendo Game Boy Advance (original and SP) were discontinued; and Blu-ray, netbook mobile computers, Android devices, and Bitcoin were introduced. Mobile gaming rose in popularity. Movies were being shot on 4K digital video. Original series started streaming online.

Archie Universe Sliding Timeline

Class of 2023 Edition

Introduction:

Since 2008, I have done a sliding timeline post. Archie Comics seems to keep the main characters at around the same age (it varies here and there), so, logically, each year, the characters' birth dates are advanced by one year.

What this post attempts to do is try to figure out the characters' perspective and frame of reference for viewing the world. This is primarily done through supplementing the actual Archie content with various real-world pop culture, political, and other events, whether they were mentioned/parodied in the comics, are/were otherwise widely popular, or are just personal favorites of mine. All of these things are things that the characters, if they existed in the real world, would have actually experienced, so they sort of provide context and/or flavor for the gang's adventures. This can also be useful for the writers when writing new stories. Of course, I'm aware that people can become aware of things (music, movies, television series, video games, books, etc.) that came out before they were born, but they weren't there "as it happened", and thus these things hold no nostalgic value to them. Also, keep in mind that people generally don't remember things before the age of two (in this case, 2007).

I am assuming 1) the characters were born in 2005 and 2) will graduate from high school in 2023 at the age of 18.

In addition to updating the information, I have sorted it into rough chronological order as the characters would have experienced them (or, in the cases of pre-birth events, wouldn't have experienced them).

Happy reading! If anyone has any suggestions for improvements, please let me know!

Pre-Birth:

Politics:
Former United States President Ronald Reagan died.
George W. Bush was President of the United States (until 2009).
Aleksander Kwasniewski was President of Poland (until 2005).
Gerhard Schröder was Chancellor of Germany (until 2005).
Yu Shyi-kun was Premier of the Republic of China (Taiwan) (until 2005).
George Pataki was Governor of New York (until 2006).
Paul Martin was Prime Minister of Canada (until 2006).
Carlo Azeglio Ciampi was President of Italy (until 2006).
Junichiro Koizumi was Prime Minister of Japan (until 2006).
Tony Blair was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (until 2007).
Jacques Chirac was President of France (until 2007).
John Howard was Prime Minister of Australia (until 2007).
Vladimir Putin was President of Russia (until 2008).
Chen Shui-bian was President of the Republic of China (Taiwan) (until 2008).
José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was Prime Minister of Spain (until 2011).
Wen Jiabao was Premier of the People's Republic of China (until 2013).
Hu Jintao was President of the People's Republic of China (until 2013).

continued in next post...

I review "That Makes Scents" from Cheryl Blossom #14.

I review "Family Matters" from Cheryl Blossom #14.

I review "Cheers To You" from Cheryl Blossom #14.

I review "Spaced Out!" from Cheryl Blossom #13.

I review "What a Nice Trip!" from Cheryl Blossom #13.

With very few one-shots coming out these days as it is, why is Archie Comics doing random AU stories? And why are they hyping it? I'd rather have canonical stories set in Riverdale.

I review "Wigged Out" from Cheryl Blossom #12.

By my calculations, as of season 6, episode 6, Riverdale has surpassed the entire Filmation Archieverse in terms of length (including Archie, Sabrina, Groovy Goolies, etc.), making it the largest televised continuity (and that's not even including Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Katy Keene, which are in the same continuity).

Quote from: Fernando Ruiz on April 18, 2022, 12:12:21 AMJohanna Draper Carlson!! I'd forgotten about her! They despised her up at the Office! Where has she been? Does she still report on Archie's sales?

She's still very active on that site. However, there doesn't seem to be much, if any, recent coverage of anything Archie.

Why was she despised at the office?

Oh, and here's a post regarding Archie Comics' sales figures for 2012 (the last year for which this site had made a post for that information, it seems).

Quote from: DeCarlo Rules on April 15, 2022, 03:43:54 PMDo they? News to me. I can't recall seeing such a page anywhere in any digests I've read. I mean, a LONG time ago, the USPS had postal regulations that required comics to annually print a "Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation" in order to qualify for reduced mailing rates, but it's been decades since those postal regulations have been in effect.

I was pretty sure someone on this forum (before the reset) posted circulation figures, so I did a keyword search for "circulation" through my archive of the threads that I'd happened to save from the old forum.

I've thought of putting a list like this together for years, the recent discussions of last years sales data inspired me. The only number that really matters is the Total Paid Circulation, average numbers of copies over the preceeding 12 months. Single issue nearest to filing date means only that.

This is for the title Archie!

This info is from the publishers statement found in the comics. This info can be found usually in the April issue, sometimes March, sometimes May or June.

The filing date until 1996 was always Oct 1st, then it started moving around a little. Starting in 1995 they began to mention which issues this info covered, it stayed very consistant Oct-Sept, so the 2008 numbers were for the Oct 2007 - Sept 2008 issues. The earliest statement that included the actual numbers is from the April 1961 issue . The total print run numbers didn't start until 1963, but here goes

Total Paid Circulation is the first number, the total print run is the second number
