****½ “A fantastic restart for America’s perennial teen, complete with all the humor, heart, and charm that you would hope for from a classic Archie comic.” – AIPT

“A refreshing update that is perfectly crafted to be a delight… A great relaunch to one of comics’ longest running mainstays [and] a must-read for anyone looking for some joy in their life.” – THE BEAT

****½ “Ben H. Winters and Fábio Moon deliver a premiere issue that captures a lot of what made Archie and his friends endure for generations while also putting their own modern spin on it to make newcomers feel welcome.” – CAPES AND TIGHTS

“A perfect introduction… [ARCHIE #1] both captures the heightened parody of Americana that defines Archie and plays against it. This fresh start is a great starting point for new Archie readers and feels like the start of something great.” – GATECRASHERS

****½ “Moon and Winters have effectively captured this feeling in the first issue, thanks to sweet gags, the classic characters you know, and some gorgeous art.” – COMIC BOOK CLUB
