The buried lede (overlooked lede?) is that they’re supposedly ceasing Archie Comics with number 666 to start over with this new series. Whether or not they stick with the new style will be interesting to see, and I’ma let you finish discussing that, but ARCHIE COMICS HIT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.

Archie has been doing a lot of playful parallel universes in recent years, not too worried about canon or violating the past styles of art or writing. Archie dies, Archie marries Betty, Archie marries Veronica, Afterlife with Archie (zombie apocalypse). Good on them. Let 1000 flowers bloom. If/when people don’t respond to the new looks or tones or stories, they’ll revert to the “classic look.” Or they’ll publish some of the classic look and some of the new look.

Bad composition. The plaid shirt is covering the ironic T-shirt and the tattoos covering his upper arms. Also, from this angle you can’t see that he’s actually sporting a horn-rimmed monocle over his right eye.

Hipsters stopped being cool right around the time they were noticed by the mainstream.

I think at this point that hipster is an empty signifier, meaning whatever someone wants it to me…
[/quote]Careful, though. Around here, the proclamation that:
‘Hipster’ is a meaningless label. I don’t like labelling things…
…is, IME, pretty much the mating call of the hipster.

“horn-rimmed monocle” wins the internet today.

That guy doesn’t look like he could swing that axe if he wanted to. Look at those arms. I don’t think he ever lifts anything heavier than a grande mochaccino, or whatever hipsters are drinking these days.

You’re still reading articles from the 1940’s about hipsters?

I’m guessing that historians come across all kinds of cool things in the archives.
