Kevin Keller miniseries: Dan Parent on the possibility of a recurring series, Kevin’s life, and fan reactions

source: Archie Comics Yesterday, I reported that The New York Post has released new information about the new “Kevin Keller” miniseries, featuring the first-ever openly gay character in Archie Comics, Kevin Keller. To recap: the miniseries, which will be out in June, will focus on traditional Archie stuff like Kevin growing accustomed to life...

Black History Month!

Nefertiti, the one of the two most famous Egyptian queens, as well as part of black history.

Since I do talk...

Valentine’s Day!

Between reviewing movies, doing work for Shockya.com and applying for jobs and doing other post-grad stuff, I haven’t had time to even change out the theme of my site for Valentine’s Day. But that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten about it. I frequently blog about love and relationships on Moniqueblog, so I thought I’d...

Weekend Archie: Crane shot

credit: Archiefans.com Not a cover page, to be sure, but it’s very rare when crane shots are used in Archie Comics, and such shots have to be highlighted. Also, it’s a good angle of exactly how Veronica’s hair is parted, perfect for anyone who’s been aiming at recreating the Bettie Page/Veronica Lake look (FYI:...

Weekend Archie: “Archie 3000″ pop-ad

credit: Archiefans.com What happened to the crazy pop-art ads?! I want to see those in current issues, not in ’80s nostalgia. Pop-art ads FTW! Also, I must find some of these Archie 3000 books. However, that mullet is the villain of hairstyles.

Comics out of the closet

Read the edited version at Goodkin Recently there’s been a lot circulating about gay bullying, what with the string of suicides that have come to light in the media. Usually after a sentence like this, one might write about how children are mirroring their parents’ prejudices or are exercising some sort of control that...

Friday’s Archie: I know it’s past Friday…

I didn’t post a Friday’s Archie; I meant to make up for this on Saturday, but school and life came in the way. So to make up for it, here are three days’ worth of Archie comics covers: Some things get to be so old that it becomes current again solely due to the...

Friday’s Archie: Jughead, the accomplished fisherman

(credit: Archiefans.com) Two things I like about this cover: 1) a black girl journalist (like me!) on the cover 2) Jughead’s attire and stance. This is also one of the thousands of covers featuring Jughead wearing his traditional black jeans (well, I think they’re jeans). My favorite pair of pants in the world.

Friday’s Archie: Ginger Lopez!

One of the few Archie covers where Ginger is featured on the cover! For those who don’t know who Ginger is, she’s a Riverdale High student who ends up becoming a fashion editor for a huge magazine in New York. While it explains so many stories that conveniently don’t feature Ginger, it also makes...

A huge batch of Archie Comics reviews–Archie #613, Jughead #203, and Archie and Friends #147

As the title states, there’s a lot to talk about. I’ve got three reviews today: Archie #613 is the conclusion of the four-part miniseries, The Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. In this issue Archie, Chuck, and Jughead figure out the antidote to Mad Doctor Doom’s Walking Dazed formula and help Archie’s cousin Andy turn the town...

Finally, a review of “Veronica #202″

It seems like I’ve been talking about this forever! For months! What with the first introduction of Kevin, my analysis of sexuality and how it relates to Archie Comics, tackling how to write Jughead in this post-openly-gay Archie world, even a preview of my review! And now it’s finally here! What can I say...
