ABC Talks Archie
Saturday, December 24, 2011 at 4:02PM | Matt Sager
After pausing to feign shock and/or horror at the inclusion of gay characters in Archie comics and lamenting the age of "comics as comfort food" - one of those "good old days" myths that has little basis in reality - this ABC report goes on to praise Archie's forward-thinking strategy both in terms of storytelling, with the addition of Kevin Keller to Riverdale, and the early adoption and future of digital distribution. The introduction is a bit milquetoast, but the piece itself is quite good, and a reminder that Archie has made huge headway for reinvigorating comics, encouraging diversity and bringing in new readers.
