Archie #614

Poor Archie Andrews looks absolutely overwhelmed on the cover of issue #614, clutching a "Mr. Ambassador Archie Andrews" clipboard while a pencil balances behind his ear and a chaotic crowd of new Riverdale students swirls around him — his speech bubbles admitting he thought organizing the new kids would be a cinch, but he can't even organize his own thoughts. The cover art by Rex W. Lindsey with inks by Rich Koslowski perfectly captures that signature Archie brand of well-meaning chaos, with the bustling school exterior and a diverse cast of newcomers reacting with everything from laughter to exasperation. Part 2 of "New Kids Off the Wall" — written by Alex Simmons with interior art by Dan Parent — promises the kind of endearing, good-humored comedy that makes this 2010 era Archie such a fun read.
