The CW Debuts Another Dramatic Teaser For ‘Riverdale’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Nope. This still doesn’t look anything like the Archie that I grew up with, though I’m still oddly intrigued by the premise of this series.

CW today debuted another short look at next month’s Riverdale premiere, featuring plenty of new footage that adds to the series’ already dark tone.

As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom — and nothing feels the same… Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow in his dad’s footsteps—despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (Sarah Habel). Which means Archie doesn’t have anyone who will mentor him — certainly not singer Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray), who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats. It’s all weighing heavily on Archie’s mind — as is his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she’s not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves – which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick) aren’t the only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there’s an undeniable spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica doesn’t want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for Archie. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch)… Riverdale’s Queen Bee is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. What, exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious death of her twin brother, Jason? Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town, but there are dangers in the shadows…

Take a look at the teaser below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

The First ‘Riverdale’ Teaser Is Here, And It’s Super CW!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’ve been excited for the idea of Riverdale since it was first announced. Today, The CW debuted the very first teaser for the midseason drama, which is set to premiere on January 26th… and while the teaser looks very CW-like, it doesn’t look all that Archie-like.

The series looks interesting enough, and based on the official synopsis (below) sounds like a fun, popcorn murder mystery, but after thoroughly enjoying Mark Waid and Fiona Staples’ recent Archie series, I can’t help but want more from this.

Then again, I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Take a look at the teaser below, read the synopsis, and be sure to let us know what you think!

Geekscape Comics: Weekly Reads

by Karson

Welcome to Weekly Reads! It’s your little dose of comic book goodness that focuses on some aspect of my comic book reading!

Oh boy, oh boy, a ton of books we are reading came out this week. Let’s jump into them!

Ongoing Reads

Black Panther #2 hit shelves, and I think I’m in a minority in thinking that this series is nothing special so far. Perhaps all the hype of Ta-Nehisi Coates penning it caused me to set some high expectations for the series that it just isn’t living up to for me. It seems the series is going to focus on a few characters; T’Challa of course, as well Shuri (his sister), Ayo (member of T’Challa’s royal guard) and probably a couple more. The problem in these first two issues is that the book jumps from setting to setting without giving us a chance to connect with the characters, after two issues I am invested in no one. I’m not jumping ship yet, but this is a tough book for me to recommend. Now, onto a book that I can’t recommend enough!

The Fix #2 is out and it picks up right where #1 left off. This series is just so damn entertaining. If you weren’t around when we discussed the first issue, the series is basically about two robbers who have a day job being cops, and you won’t believe the ways they use that to their advantage. The situations and character interactions that writer Nick Spencer has come up with are laugh-out-loud funny throughout the second issue. On the opposite side of the spectrum, he continues to build up how sadistic and unstable the series’ villain is shaping up to be. Guys. Gals. This is a must-read series!

I am so into this Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. It’s so damn good. I grew up with the show, so I’m probably a little biased but this book holds up in ways the show doesn’t anymore. Prasetya’s art is phenomenal. His panels are so clean and the characters borderline on being manga-like but not? His work with the mystical elements (Rita’s henchmen, the zords) is where he really shines. The only downside is this green ranger story is starting to drag. We aren’t getting a new villain issue to issue, and the action is starting to wane.

Archie continues to be phenomenal with its eighth issue. If you aren’t a fan of high school stories, maybe this won’t be up your alley, but you might be surprised. We are living in a world where if Mark Millar’s name is on a comic it is probably worth reading. Don’t worry if you haven’t read an Archie book before (I hadn’t) you can still connect with this book and these characters. Millar offers a little Archie history lesson at the end of every issue. I’m not sure if he actually loves the original source material or not, but damn he has me convinced that he does.

New Reads

House of Penance 3

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” When it comes to comics, I break this rule regularly and I did it again this week when I decided to check out House of Penance.

The book’s description reads:

“The Winchester House—famous for its original owner’s bizarre compulsion to incorporate a multitude of architectural curiosities. But as the bereaved Sarah Winchester’s workers toil on stairways to nothing and doors to nowhere, a mysterious stranger arrives… and he could make Sarah’s demons all too real.”

Basically, after two issues, it’s a whole lot of “WTF?” but in all the right ways. I think? I still don’t really know what’s going on other than it’s really, really, creepy and I’d really, really, like to find out.

I love the style of Bertram’s art, I had reservations about how it would work in a horror story but it’s great. This story isn’t on the same level as the first two arcs of Harrow County or what I’ve read of Outcast so far, but if you’re looking for horror comics this needs to be on your pull list.

Here’s Your First Look At Archie In The CW’s ‘Riverdale’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: For some reason, we (I) were (was) pretty damned excited back in January when we learned that The CW had officially ordered a pilot titled Riverdale, a series based on classic comic character Archie and his pals, which will take place in the present-day and offer “a surprising and subversive take” on the characters and situations.

Today, the official Archie twitter account gave us our first look at KJ Apa’s Archie in the anticipated season, via a photo taken during one of the Vancouver production’s lunch breaks.

You can take a look at the photo below, and be sure to let us know what you think of this new-age take on Archie in the comments below!

Geekscape Comics: Weekend Reads!

by Karson

Welcome to Weekend Reads! It’s your little, weekly dose of comic book goodness that focuses on some aspect of my weekend reading!

This week I discuss our first DC book…

Before diving in, I’d like to give an update on past reads. A couple of weeks ago I ripped on the current X-Men books. They are starting to pick up steam. The Blob storyline in All New X-Men is fun, but Wolverine and Angel’s relationship problems take away a lot of the book’s momentum. The last pre-Apocalypse Wars issue of Extraordinary was a fun, Inception-esque story of Storm and Jean rescuing Nightcrawler from his mind. If you love the X-Men, you’ll find something to enjoy in these arcs.

Ok, now that we have the X-Men out of the way, let’s get to THE READS:

Archie-6-f3bfb
Archie #6 by Mark Waid and Veronica Fish
TheGoddamned_03-1
The Goddamned #3 by Jason Aaron and R.M.Guéra
The_Dark_Knight_III_The_Master_Race_Vol_1-3_Cover-1_Teaser
Dark Knight III: The Master Race #3 by Brian Azzarello, Frank Miller, and Geof Darrow, Klaus Janson, Andy Kubert

There isn’t a comic book out there that I recommend more than Archie. Waid and Fish are flat out killing it right now. I can boil my thoughts on the series down to simple mathematics:

Waid’s writing + Fish’s art = you care about these characters

Whether you’ve read Archie before or not you’re going to enjoy this book. Waid also provides insights into classic Archie comics, along with the comics themselves, at the end of each issue which are fascinating from both a historical perspective and just seeing how much society has changed. READ THIS BOOK!

I discussed The Goddamned with Matt on Check Your Backseat awhile back when The Revenant and Bone Tomahawk were all the rage, and I thought it would fit in with that genre. I didn’t plan on keeping up with it but when the third issue came out I couldn’t help but check it out.

This series will definitely be more gratifying to read in trade. Character and plot development move at a pretty slow pace, but Guéra art saves it from being crippled. He captures the book’s barren and desolate tone perfectly. It draws from some Christian religious stuff, but it isn’t too much to make you clueless if you are unfamiliar with it. If you’re a fan of Bone Tomahawk or The Revenant, there may be something to love here for you, but I would recommend picking it up in trade.

Dark Knight III: The Master Race is a tough book to discuss. If you rip on it too hard you just like like one of those people who love to bitch on the Internet but if you give it too much praise you’re going to get ripped by people and told you aren’t a serious comic book fan. I think I fall somewhere in between.

When this title was announced most comic book fans labeled it as a DC money grab, I tried to maintain optimism in the face of criticism. After three issues, I’m ready to admit I was wrong.

This book just isn’t that good. If any other creative team were behind such a mediocre series you wouldn’t hear anything about it; it’s the Tiger Woods of comic books.

The writing suffers from a lack of direction. One second it seems the old and tired Batman and Superman are going to pass the sword down to the younger generation of heroes and next they’re back in the driver’s seat. Where Archie sparks a broad range of the reader’s emotions, this book fails to deliver any emotional impact. It lacks any sense of danger or excitement. I also find it has a tendency to feel more like a Superman book than a Batman one.

The book has a couple of high points. 1) the artwork. 2) the mini comics at the end. In the third issue, we get to see the Miller finished Romita Jr. art. It is unlike anything else you’ll see in comics today.

Is the series worth checking out? Sure? But only because of the names attached to the book. Read Archie instead.

Alright, that’s it for this week! What do you think? Are you enjoying Dark Knight III? Have you dug into anything Archie? Tweet me!

‘Riverdale’ Casts Its Archie, Josie, Fred Andrews!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: For some reason, we (I) were (was) pretty damned excited back in January when we learned that The CW had officially ordered a pilot titled Riverdale, a series based on classic comic character Archie and his pals, which will take place in the present-day and offer “a surprising and subversive take” on the characters and situations.

Last week, we learned that Cole Sprouse (The Sweet Life of Zack and Cody) would portray Jughead Jones, and that Lili Reinhart (Surviving Jack) will play Betty Cooper, and today the CW has revealed three new cast members, including Archie himself.

Beverly Hills 90210‘s Luke Perry has been cast as Fred Andrews (Archie’s dad… duh), who is noted as “”easygoing” and the owner of a construction firm who is hoping his son, who worked for him all summer, will someday take over the family business.”

Fred

Next up, Ashleigh Murray has been cast as Josie McCoy, “a gorgeous, snooty and ambitious girl who is the lead singer for popular band Josie and the Pussycats. She has zero interest in recording any songs written by fellow teen Archie.”

Josie

Last, but not least, KJ Apa is our Archie, “an intense, conflicted teen, a boyish high school sophomore who got pumped up over the summer working construction and is now juggling the interest of several girls, as well as trying to balance his passion for writing and performing music — against the wishes of his father and his football coach.”

Apa

Excited? Yeah, me too.

The CW notes that “The one-hour drama will be written by Archie Comics Chief Creative Officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and produced by Warner Brothers Studios and Berlanti Productions and has been described as a subversive take on the classic Archie mythos. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecter, Jon Goldwater, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa serve as executive producers.”

The pilot will film in Vancouver this March, and again, as someone who never read Archie until the Mark Waid / Fiona Staples title launched last Fall, I have no idea why I’m so excited for it.

What do you hope to see in the series? Sound out below!

The CW Officially Orders Archie-Based ‘Riverdale’ Pilot!

by Karson

Amongst the six new pilots the CW has ordered, one is for the previously-announced Archie-based Riverdale show. According to the pitch, Riverdale will take place in the present-day and offer “a surprising and subversive take” on Archie’s cast of characters.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will write and be the executive producer on the premiere. He previously teased the show as “Archie meets Twin Peaks.” John Goldwater of Archie Comics and Sarah Schechter and Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) are also EPs.

Hopefully, the show can deliver the same quality of story that Mark Waid and Fiona Staples are in the ongoing Archie comic book series. I don’t if I’ll watch the show but there’s no arguing that it’s a great time to be an Archie fan!

Riverdale

Geekscape Comics Reviews: ‘Archie vs. Predator’ #1

by Karson

The Predator comes to Riverdale in the latest reinvention of the Archie Comics franchise. The first issue of Archie vs. Predator (AVP) is, for better or worse, exactly what you should expect.

Alex de Campi’s writing fits right into the Archie universe. The teenagers’ dialogue and behaviour feels spot on. She does a wonderful job of giving each character their own distinct charm and sense of humour. The issue is fun, and even downright silly at times. There were actually parts in this book that made me giggle out loud… yeah, I said giggle. When things start getting sketchy, Archie and crew behave like any teenagers would in a typical slasher movie, illogically. It feels alright for the most part, but there were a couple of instances where their reaction (or lack of one) are hard to accept. It’ll be interesting to see how the characters change when they become aware that they are being hunted by something that isn’t human.

Archie veteran Fernando Ruiz’s art shines throughout the entire issue. He does an excellent job of integrating the Predator into the Archie Universe. Making the Predator a cartoon does take away from its lethalness but you are quickly reminded of how vicious of a hunter the Predator can be. Ruiz’s ability to integrate violence into a universe that is not known for it will sure to be one of the high points of the series.

The first issue is much more Archie than it is Predator, so readers who were surprised by how much they enjoyed Afterlife with Archie might not have the same reaction to this. I felt Afterlife with Archie was able to open itself up a larger audience as it was a horror story that just happened to have the characters from Archie in it. So far this series feels like an Archie story that just happens to have the Predator in it. I fear this may alienate (no pun intended) readers; Archie fans will not enjoy it like they would the normal books and Predator fans won’t enjoy it because it’s too much Archie. However, there is a lot of fun to be had if you’re like me and just have a casual interest in both franchises.

What you see is what you get so far with AVP. If you hear Archie vs. Predator and think that it sounds fun, you’ll probably enjoy it. If it turns you off, this book probably isn’t for you. While I’m not clamouring for the second issue I am excited to see where the story goes. This could be the beginning of a very entertaining miniseries.

Archie vs. Predator #1 is on sale April 15th. Will it be on your pull list? Let us know in the comments below!

Geekscape Comics: Major Archie Relaunch in 2015 from Mark Waid and Fiona Staples

by Karson

The revamping continues at Archie Comics leading up to their 75th Anniversary. The flagship Archie book will relaunch next year with the brand new creative team of writer Mark Waid and artist Fiona Staples.

Recently, Waid has been receiving high praise for his work with artist Chris Samnee on Daredevil while Staples’ artwork on Brian K. Vaughan’s Saga has shared similar critical success. (Note: I probably don’t have to tell you that both these books make an AWESOME addition to your pull list).

The Archie brand has been no stranger to change the past few years with Archie’s highly publicized death in the Life With Archie series as well as the release of the darker, zombie filled Afterlife with Archie.

alwarchie1

I’ve never read an Archie book in my life but that hasn’t stopped me from getting hooked on Afterlife with Archie! It makes me want more of the Archie universe but I still haven’t taken the leap. With Waid and Staples at the helm, I’ll finally take it next year when Archie #1 launches.
