Archie gets Political With occupy Riverdale

a number of sites have covered this short Archie Comics blog publish (no longer available) about an upcoming “Occupy Riverdale” story to appear in Archie #635 due in July 2012.

It’s normal of Archie lately to pick storylines based on what will get them complimentary press coverage, particularly if it’s a hot-button political issue, such as gay marriage, or here, economic inequality.

Using Veronica as well as her household to customize the problem is a fantastic idea, actually, as well as I hope they comply with with on it. Archie’s got a long history of dealing with political debates, just like this 1971 story about draft-dodging or this sillier piece about shorts not being proper for being seen in public. It’s great to see them continuing that custom here.

While I haven’t cared for the one piece of Archie composing by Alex Segura I’ve seen so far — he did the Archie satisfies KISS story that made extremely bit sense, however I might have guessed that from the premise — I am extremely ecstatic by the artists lined up for this upcoming tale. Under a variant cover by the fantastic Jill Thompson, shown here, Gisele Lagace will be drawing the interiors. I understand she’s wished to draw the Archie characters for a long while, as well as even though her present work is extremely Not risk-free for work — it’s an unapologetic sex comic — her previous art for cent as well as Aggie shows exactly how excellently she draws teens.

(Actually, a Google shows that she’s drawn the Archie characters before, for Archie double digest #221. There, she’s credited as just Gisele, which must assist stop youngsters from searching for a lot more information about her as well as discovering pictures that will shock their parents. Gisele’s likewise not the very first artist to balance Archie assignments with adult work — Holly G! both drew Sabrina the teen Witch as well as works on Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose.)

Segura exposes in this interview that the concept for occupy Riverdale came from a reporter. He likewise supplies a lot more plot description, emphasizing that the story will stay true to Archie’s roots of being light-hearted as well as humorous. Meanwhile, Gisele’s former writer T Campbell composed an academic essay dealing with the concept of whether Archie Comics is politically liberal or conventional that’s an enlightening read.
