Ok I just bought the KEVIN KELLER miniseries #1 (actually Veronica #207). I haven't read it yet but –––––– I am worried Kevin will run into the Christian Archie series Archie. Like Kevin is trying out for the football team and Jughead tries to introduce him to the Gospel of John like he was ALWAYS doing in Christian Archie. And where it goes from there is too sad to say!What I am saying is Archie has one world that is full of fundamentalist xtian teens and another where Kevin is getting married, which gets rid of Riverdale's "Anytown U.S.A." vibe, doesn't it?This is fucking with me in the best way!

OMG Jughead is wearing a yellow muscle shirt with a hamburger on it.

The first half has Kevin's gal pal from Bricktown explaining her one-time crush on a prepubescent Kevin. This sequence is weird because it has concerns about prom, etc, when the timeline suggests this flashback takes place in elementary school. Maybe sixth grade at the latest?
The second half is also a flashback in which Kevin recalls coming out to his parents. His dad, the colonel, is proud of his son and encourages Kevin to follow in his footsteps by entering the military. Either he came out on July 4 or Bricktown just likes to party, because fireworks are going off in the background, with a big American flag at the fore.

My cousin Paul is the lead writer on the "Life with Archie" comic, so he's written quite a bit of the Kevin Kellar stuff. After all his years in the industry, it's funny that he's getting his greatest success with friggin' Archie.

Also given the Occupy parody links from Nicole a few posts up, get this (from the NYT story):
Meanwhile, Mr. Goldwater, a married father of two, is running Archie solo. An “Occupy Riverdale” comic and an animated “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” series are imminent.

Silberkleit, they say, invited Hell’s Angels to Archie’s Mamaroneck offices in an apparent effort to “intimidate” them, and has repeatedly inquired about the whereabouts of the handgun and 750 rounds of ammo her husband kept at the office.
