I started reading Archie comics when I was 5years old (: my mom and my sisters brought those books into my life. I have memorized every comic book I have read by them, and I can tell you what happens in every comic book that I see of them. I own over 50 of their comic books. Btw I’m 17 years old and I actually JUST got done reading an Archie comic book..my mom is 50 years old and she still reads comic books, as well as all of my older sisters. (:

i used to read archie comics all the time when i was younger, but recently i’ve been getting in the trend again. of course, i wouldn’t waste money buying it, but the occasional free stuff on their website is fun! =) it’s nice to have some more conservative stuff..there’s no sex, alcohol or anything…just the clothing is sometimes a bit off.

btw, i’m 16 years old…does that make it funny that i still read archie comics?

Depends on what you’re reading and who the writer is. Some are more forward-thinking than others.

When I was but a wee girl, only twelve or so, my mother got me the occasional Betty and Veronica to read in the car. Needless to say, I was unable to relate to any of the pants-chasing, because I wasn’t into boys at that age. When we went to the market store that carried more comic titles, I always chose X-Force or Catwoman over the tame Archie comics. Now that I’m older and I do notice males, I laugh much more while reading my old Betty and Veronicas than I did as a youngster. Strangely, my taste for spandex has vanished.

One thing that always remains a turn-off with Archie comics is that the female characters seem torn between 1950′s housewife dreams and 1970′s free love. Tell me they’ve updated their personalities to be a little less grating?

Sarah, I’d tend to agree, but I haven’t ever seen definite figures. I certainly think that older teen girls (past 15 years old) wouldn’t find much to keep them interested in Archie comics… or superheroes, which the press release also mentions (in praising Archie as a gateway to Marvel and DC).

It could’ve been worse. Crisis on Infinite Archies!

Do teenage girls actually read Archie? I always thought it was the 8-12 “oh I wish I was a teenager!” crowd that did.

And here I thought they were really going to go with “Archie Disassembled”. Damn.
