Archie's redesign. . .
Simple blogging because I am sick...
They're going to redesign the Archie comics characters. Understandable, since as I look at Archie right now, the house style screams 1950s, and not in a cool-timeless way, but in a way that repels anybody who was born after 1960. Archie looks archaic.
That said, this redesign looks ugly. The cover looks repulsive, lacking in simple grace and style that at least the archaic Archie had. As someone who has criticized Manga-ization as a cheap way to try to make things new and hip, I wish they had opted for a more Manga style (no, I'm not going to go more into specifics than that). That said, my opinion doesn't mean anything, since I have never in my life bought or read an Archie comic. I may have watched a cartoon of it while ill and too sick to find the remote, throw a rock at the TV, or will myself into unconsciousness.
