I know she's not a well known character outside of comics, and I thought Brian Woods run on Adjectiveless X-Men was kinda boring, but I think Psylocke's new costume in that run is probably my favorite costume redesign in the pat decade (Danver's Captain Marvel suit might beat it)

I'm trying to find an image that was basically the Joker's list of things he finds funny, featuring "Fish being gutted" over and over again with some other stuff. Anybody remember when that happened?

While it absolutely is, it should be noted that it isn't a crossover or evolution of Afterlife with Archie. It's a separate crossover that hems a lot closer to traditional Archie by the looks of it. This is just an alternate cover in the Afterlife with Archie style. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=26155 Now seriously when the gently caress did Archie comics become worth a drat? This is puzzling.

Wow, Archie used to be just fuckin' oblivious but now he's a shitlord. 'Oh these two were fighting, I'll trip and make out with the one I land on and give no gently caress about anything else.'

I went out of my way to buy a copy of that one-shot like a decade ago. Made for a great bathroom piece. It was clearly just an aberration though. Now suddenly we have Afterlife and suddenly poo poo like Archie v. Predator is getting greenlit and my world is just upside-down. It turns out I was relying on the constant of Archie a lot more than I thought.

Archie's main comic also had that crisis on infinite Archies thing going on, which was the weirdest thing to even happen to Archie since that time they revealed Jughead was a time cop who was in love with Archie's great grand-daughter from the future and that's why he wasn't interested in other girls. They also introduced a gay character a few years back, which isn't really notable except for the fact that it's Archie.

Wasn't the Crisis on Infinite Archies thing this awesome plot-twist out of left field too? Like there was an Archie comic that at first just seemed to be an anthology of different what if-type scenarios, but then in the last page of one of them you had Dilton jumping universes Sliders-style to save the Archie Multiverse or something like that?

Yeah, something like that. And it came off the heavily advertised "wedding of Archie" thing, if I recall, so it was like a bait and switch.

The weirdest period for Archie was in the 1970s when they allowed Al Hartley to use the characters in Spire Christian Comics, where Archie, Reggie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead and the rest pontificated on how everything was much better back in the 1890s.

In his defense, it's basically drawn as a crown. A whoopee cap shouldn't have such a tall 'brim'.

This thread can use more Al Hartley, to be honest.  And that particular 1890's story you talked about was a copy of an earlier story which had a more pro-environmental message.

Lurdiak posted:I don't joke about Jughead. The "read to find out the explanation for this bizarre cover" doesn't work so well in a book with "Time Police" in it's title. Like I think kids can figure out the cause of two instances of the same person in the same place in a book about time travel. mind the walrus posted:While it absolutely is, it should be noted that it isn't a crossover or evolution of Afterlife with Archie.

Yeah, Life with Archie isn't the main Archie comic. It's another spin-off. The main Archie comic is just "Archie" though THAT is getting relaunched with Mark Waid writing and Fiona Staples on art for at least the first couple issues. Archie's doing some good stuff lately.

Pieces of Peace posted:"Pollution starts with people - like those loving negroes trying to move into Riverdale! Grab a noose, Arch!" I remember reading a Captain America comic from the 80's where Cap goes to this "idealistic" turn of the Century representation of America. But Cap figures there's plenty wrong about the place. And when Cap goes looking for the Falcon and finds him as a "sho' nuff" shoe-shine boy he immediately figures out what the problem is. Basically the place was combined from the minds of four different people all hooked up to a Computer. Cap's a little boy, a racist 80 year old granny and a Nazi sympathiser. I didn't realize it at the time, but I get the feeling the story was deliberately targeting that Archie comic of "everything in the 1900's was better than now. What with people complaining about us beating on minorities."
