![]() ![]() She's written so lovingly that the whole time between putting the book down and picking it back up, I was thinking about her and aching for her. She's now a cute, tomboyish girl who is, as mentioned, growing into her femininity, but still into video games and fixing cars. Speaking of Betty, my favorite character is even better than ever. For instance, at first I was utterly unclear on why Archie was so jarred by his longtime girlfriend Betty's beginning to embrace femininity, but eventually it begins to make sense: he's afraid of change. The characterization is rich and on-point. (I'm still suspicious of the comic's current, post-Waid iteration.) But I found that Waid handled the series better than the writers whose Archie comics I grew up on - at least, from a grown-up reader's point of view. I grew up on traditional Archie comics - episodic and largely repetitive - and was suspicious, to say the least, of this reboot. It's honestly been a long time since I enjoyed a comic book this much. ![]()
