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.
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.
