The pussycats are black? Racists gonna lose their shit >

 

[carlsojo]

I want to live in the world where these CW casts come from. I hope the show is good, but CW is at least launching a dozen modeling careers with this cast.

That world exists.. it is Vancouver.

Always a worthwhile benefit.

No they only fly in for filming then leave.

 

[ErichWK]

Those are some good looking people.

 

[Slaythe]

I had forgotten Archie existed and it all came back to me.

I am 100% in.

Hoping this is the one cw show I enjoy.

Starting to feel old with all those pretty young people.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Really hope they nail the weird mysteries vibe, I loved that show.

 

[Jhoan]

You'll never see ugly peeps on a CW show. These guys are way too good looking/Seinfeld joke.

 

[Pluto]

I can't get over one of the twins from Zach and Cody is in a gritty portrayal of Archie.

One of them had his nudes leaked, being in a Archie/Twin Peaks hybrid is nothing after that.

The new comics are great. I recommend. I didn't get into them until those came out. (I'm 30)

 

[Demon Lizardman]

I don't know why, but I expected Veronica to be a bit taller. Betty and Cherry look good though.

You should take a trip to Beaverton, OR.

Cosign. I've been into comics for awhile but basically ignored Archie. The new Archie, Afterlife with Archie, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina changed all that. It's some of the best stuff out there right now.

 

[Platy]

So no casting from Sabrina yet ?

Without sabrina we can't have the return of TV's best character ever, Salem dammit !

Yep. I'll add the new Jughead series to that too, it's pretty entertaining. First 8 issues were written by Chip Zdarsky (Howard the Duck) and the new issues are by Ryan North (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl).

 

[Slaythe]

You guys are tempting me with the comics.

I already have to catch up on Buffy/Angel, and Star Wars, but I'll try to pick up some of those new archies ?

Man I used to like the Sabrina show back then but I never actually read the comics.

I'm not American so the smaller comics were really hard to access back in the days.

So to be specific, what am I looking for ? (name and issue)

You'll want the comics from the "New Riverdale" brand, which is a reboot/reimagining of the characters in modern times, and the "Archie Horror" label that includes the new Sabrina comics and Afterlife. No previous knowledge required.

Archie (2015, 15 issues, ongoing)

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2014, 8 issues, ongoing)

Afterlife with Archie (2013, 11 issues, ongoing)

Jughead (2015, 11 issues, ongoing)

All of it is very fun stuff, written by good writers from the comics business who love these properties and know what makes them work.

If you want more after that there are other other comics starting this year that are in the same universe of the reboot: Betty & Veronica (2016), Josie & the Pussycats (2016), and Reggie and Me (2016).

For Sabrina:
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, six issues so far collected in one trade. But don't expect it to resemble the show very much, this isn't comedy, it's a steaight up horror comic.

For Archie:
Archie (the 2015 series), it's a modern take on it, a really good new take on it. 14 issues have been released, the second trade collecting #7-12 should be available soon.
Life with Archie, 37 issues collected as Archie - The married life in six volumes. Portrays the characters as adults and features two timelines, one where Rchie marries Betty and one where he marries Veronica.
Afterlife with Archie, part of Archie Horror like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, it puts the gang into the zombie apocalypse, surprisingly good considering the concept sounds weird as hell.

 

[Pachimari]

Archie and Veronica. I literally can't.

What is the name of the actress playing Veronica?

CAOS is my favorite comic by far...Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is one of the best comic book writers out there. I would recommend this to anyone who's a fan of spooky/horror driven storylines. It's dark as HELL, but has that classic high school drama feel to it at the same time. A perfect balance.

 

[Slaythe]

Woah you guys weren't kidding about a dark twist on Sabrina.

I got hooked up on it, not quite yet for Archie.

Seconded. Just a great, great horror comic and if you are a fan of the Archie universe, it's even better to see how they change some things. Easily one of my favorite series right now.

First official trailer, guess aiming this as a replacement show for their female demo

youtube version. can't believe the video player on the Archie site is still flash only.

 

[bremon]

I'm not too sure what to make of this but I had tons of Archie comics growing up, and watched the weird mysteries cartoon...I'll probably give this a shot.

new trailer!

Never read the comics but it looks interesting enough, plus it helps that Netflix UK has picked it up for next day streaming.

Is Miss Grundy hot now, Marissa Tomei style?

I REALLY can't get over how perfect Archie looks though. Like, you can't do a better live-action Archie than that.

Its a CW show everyone has to be hot.

 

[fallengorn]

Madchen Amick is in this? That's pretty cool.

 

[Goodstyle]

Everyone on this show is super attractive, to like, an absurd degree. I mean, even Archie's fucking dad? It's hilarious.

That's just CW shows for you in general. If you see a ridiculously attractive persons amongst random characters it's basically guaranteed that they're going to end up being a recurring role.

It seems like every character in this show is doing that

 

[SomedayTheFire]

This does look great tbh

[Ross61]

This seems like the kind of "good trash" that I need in my television watching.
