Thank you for returning to Moniqueblog! If you like my content, please follow me @moniqueblognet, on facebook, and email me at mljcollegeblog@gmail.com. As much as I’ve talked about Kevin Keller and Veronica #202, it would be remiss of me to wait a long time before I, at least, gave my first reactions to the...

In the first episode of “The Geek and Nerd Show”, we’ll talk about the awesomeness that is “Inception”, Archie’s new gay friend Kevin Keller, whether or not Jughead is the original gay Archie Comics character, the new Scooby-Doo animated show, and more. I’d say this first episode was a rousing success, but I’ll warn you...

I’m branching out! Make sure to catch my sister Ashley and I on our new podcast show, The Geek and Nerd Show on blogtalkradio. Our first inaugural episode will be about how much we love Inception, Archie’s new friend Kevin Keller and whether Jughead is actually the first gay Archie Comics character, the craziness...

Comics Alliance probably said this better than I ever could, but this issue was pretty doggone entertaining. I won’t go into my usual spill about the great glossy paper (no copy residue on my fingers!), but I’ll just jump into the story. Betty and Veronica get the hots for the new guy Ivan who...

Archie Comics is keeping their storytelling game up with Jughead #202 and Archie #611, and I’m glad. In #202, Jughead, being obsessed with Film Noir movies, starts wearing a trenchcoat and talking like Humphrey Bogart. However, his obsession gets him involved in solving minor crimes around Riverdale, starting with Dilton asking Jughead to help...

Anyone who’s a longtime Archie Comics and/or Jughead fan knows how important the suspenders are to Jughead’s character and overall look. I guarantee you that in any Jughead book you pick up, Jughead will be wearing his classic black or red suspenders (sometimes the colorist gets outrageous, and those times are like rare gifts)....

My birthday came recently, and as a present to myself, I went and bought some comics from the local bookstore. I’m sure I’m behind the 8-ball when it comes to these particular comics I’m about to review, but I think their merit bears repeating. I generally like all of the Jughead comic book stories,...

Lately, a lot of anti-gay folks and conservatives have come out saying that Archie Comics is trying to introduce sexuality by introducing Kevin Keller, an openly gay teenager. Their basis for this opinion is that they believe that Archie Comics boasts pure, I suppose “conservative” values, especially since the characters were used for Christian-based...

I think people anticipated this issue more than I expected; when I went to the comic book store, I bought the last copy. I thought that boded well for me; it might mean that the issue’s really good. But after reading it, all I have to say is that’s pretty good. Here’s the run-down:...

Subtext is seen in everything. Why else do people think Bert and Ernie are gay, Daphne and Fred were doing the nasty when they often split up to “look for clues” and that Prince Naveen is two steps away from being a man-slut? Subtext is the untold story behind every marketed canon story, and...

Robot Chicken‘s Tom Root wrote Jughead’s milestone 200th issue, happily injecting it with a crazy shot of adrenaline. The storyline involves Jughead walking into a mysterious diner with a witch for a waitress who, after selling Jughead the sandwich of his dreams, asks for something important in return-his metabolism. Thus, a chain of events...

I’m glad that Archie Comics, Inc. has now come into the 21st century. Their output as of late has been nothing short of prolific for this nostalgic comic company rooted in the early ’40s-updating their lines to have “New Look” stories, having Archie marry both Veronica and Betty in separate scenarios, giving their lineup...
