Kevin Keller / Dan Parent / 138 pgs.

I'm not really a fan of Archie Comics, but I heard that they created an openly gay character to (as Veronica writer Dan Parent said) "show that Riverdale is in the 21st century." [1]

So expecting wide-sweeping stereotypes and corny after school special dialog; I found myself pleasantly surprised.  This graphic novel contains 6 issues of Archie comics which shows Kevin's introduction to the characters at Riverdale High School.  The stories are about making new friends while still maintaining old friendships, school bulling, Kevin's "coming out" story, and his life goal of serving in the military.
