The so-called blogosphere has been abuzz lately about Archie's wedding to Veronica. It's been decried as publicity stunt. How evil! That a comic company should want to sell comics!The thing that cracks me up is people writing things like, "I haven't bought an Archie comic in years, but why would they do this?" You just answered your own question.
I don't know how many times people who don't collect comics have looked at new ones I bought and been aghast by changes made to the characters in the twenty years since they bought their last issue. People expect comic companies will just keep going, magically doing the same thing for years even if all their old readers have gone away. It is nice that comics excite the imagination to the extent that people feel that comics are immune to reality, but unfortunately it's just not true.
"I want it all to stay the same, but I don't want to have to pay for it! I don't want to have to do anything, it should just all be there for me!"
I thought I was supposed to be the immature one.
