Archie the comic and Riverdale the show

7/16/2018

Who among us hasn’t, at one time or another, cracked open an Archie comic book or digest?  Whether it’s at the cash register of a grocery store, in the comic shop, or at your local book shop, the juggernaut that is Archie Comics has been a flourishing publishing business for three quarters of a century.  Fans have seen countless comic book series, several cartoons, a made for television movie, and now an extraordinarily popular television show, Riverdale.
 
2015 saw a major reboot of the traditional character and his friends.  New storylines, a retooled origin story for all of the Riverdale gang, and more defined art in the comics all debuted to rave reviews.  While the publishing house kept the traditional digests coming with new stories, the comic books shifted entirely to the new look.
 
2017 witnessed the premier of Riverdale, on The CW network.  An amalgam of The OC and Broadchurch, the show follows the canonical characters as they navigate high school against the backdrop of an ongoing murder investigation in their small town.  A series of comics was soon introduced to fill in the gaps left between the television episodes. 
 
Whether you are a fan of crime shows, retro comics, or just quality, escapist graphic novels, Riverdale is for you!

We recommend:

Riverdale
Vol. 1
            A wonderfully penned graphic novel that presents new storylines following the action of the wildly popular show.  Readers will learn why Archie and Jughead, perhaps the most well known best friends in comic history, fell out, how Veronica is adapting to life in Riverdale, and what Archie spent the summer doing.  A must for every graphic novel shelf.


Picture

Riverdale
Vol. 2
            The next chapter in the series, readers will learn what life is like for Kevin Keller, why Reggie acts so insufferably, and the future of Josie and the Pussycats.  This second volume doesn’t disappoint.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

            Part of the Archie Comics Horror imprint and soon to be a television show, the canonical Sabrina is rebooted and situated in 1960s Greendale.  An interesting graphic novel selection for fans of H.P. Lovecraft, Poe, and retro horror comics.

Picture

Archie
Vol. 1
            Part of the previously mentioned reboot, the first few issues of the series are collected in this graphic novel.  Archie is updated for the 21st century and brings his friends along.  He’s still stuck in the decades old love triangle between Betty and Veronica and continues to go broke lending his best friend, Jughead, money for hamburgers.  Great stories, great art!

Riverdale is a great adaptation of the Archie comic books. In my opinion, the dark twist that they added to the story is a great addition to the seemingly simple premise of the original story. The characters are really fleshed out and are somewhat relatable as well. My favorite character of the entire story is perhaps Jughead Jones. Played by the amazing Cole, the series' serious guy with an absurd humor is the best part of the entire dark cast.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. There are theoretically no restrictions on where the ketogenic diet might be used, and it can cost less than modern anticonvulsants. However, fasting and dietary changes are affected by religious and cultural issues. A culture where food is often prepared by grandparents or hired help means more people must be educated about the diet. When families dine together, sharing the same meal, it can be difficult to separate the child's meal. In many countries, food labelling is not mandatory so calculating the proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrate is difficult. In some countries, it may be hard to find sugar-free forms of medicines and supplements, to purchase an accurate electronic scale, or to afford MCT oils.
