Never revere — the first mental picture from Riverdale have hit the web , and Archie reckon great .

Obviously what you see above is in reality the boot Archie from the excellent Mark Waid / Fiona Staples head for the hills of Archie that began last year . But honestly ? Apa has been transmute into jolly much exactly that panel above , red pilus and all :

Hey@kj_apa , we ’re digging the hair coloring material ! 👀 # Riverdalehttps://t.co/3wUzkdZcxfpic.twitter.com/6Btvh4RRYh

( Also , it ’s really weird that even the prescribed Archie Comics Twitter account has to brand paparazzi pictorial matter rather than an official still or something . )

But hey ! Apa ’s Archie Andrews is looking fantastic . While fans of the reference ’s classic look might be a minuscule irked at the hip - and - freehanded modernized visual aspect , this is so smudge - on to the fantastic mirthful reboot ( which you should utterly read ) that now I ’m looking forward to Riverdale even more than I antecedently was .
