![]() ![]() He’s won multiple Eisners, has worked primarily in superhero comics, and he’s in his fifties. Waid may seem like a surprising choice for the new Archie writer. So, why did I suddenly get the urge to become this weird guy that got into Archie in his twenties? Part of it came from the fact that, this being a fresh start for the characters, what better time than now to see what all the fuss is about? But mostly, it was because of Mark Waid and Fiona Staples. I should probably admit right off the bat that I have never been what you might call an Archie “fan.” Sure, I like the little I know about the franchise that I’ve gained through cultural osmosis, but other than that time the Riverdale kids got mixed up with the Predator, or that time they met The Punisher (which has been called the greatest inter-company crossover of all time, which I’m inclined to agree with), I really haven’t read much of the mainline Archie series that has existed for almost three quarters of a century. ![]() ![]() Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast! ![]()
