The iconic comic book hero Archie Andrews dies a heroic death in the final issue of Life with Archie #36 while saving the life of one of his friends. His death is really tragic and meaningful, but Conan O'Brien's here with some not-so-heroic alternatives.http://kotaku.com/theyre-killing... » 7/17/14 9:00am 7/17/14 9:00am

The people at Archie Comics just don't give a damn. They unleashed a zombie apocalypse in Riverdale last year, in which two female supporting characters sort of came out of the closet. Now the publisher is killing off their main character. RIP Archie. » 4/08/14 10:40am 4/08/14 10:40am

Video games’ fastest hedgehog beats up a lot of other animals in his comic-book adventures. Humans, too. If you want to see the guys who’ve given Sonic his toughest battles in illustrated form, they’re all in one handsomely presented place now. » 8/07/13 1:00pm 8/07/13 1:00pm

Archie Comics' crossover between Sega and Capcom's best known characters is called Worlds Collide. And it looks like the biggest collision will be happening in next week's Sonic #250, when a crap-ton of robot masters show up to try and stop the blue heroes from saving the day. » 6/27/13 10:00am 6/27/13 10:00am

Knuckles Man.? Rose Woman? Shadow Man? Only two horrible minds could've come up with evil robot antagonists like these. Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman's malevolent subversion of Sonic the hedgehog's friends gets revealed in the latest issue of the Worlds Collide crossover, an Archie Comics event pairing up Sonic and Mega for… » 5/27/13 12:00pm 5/27/13 12:00pm

Worlds Collide—the long-brewing mash-up between Sega’s Hedgehog and Capcom’s Blue Bomber—finally kicks off this week. The two video game icons and their assorted allies, sidekicks and enemies will be meeting up and throwing down for the next few months. But, be honest: what you really want to know is if the blue… » 4/11/13 3:30pm 4/11/13 3:30pm

Can Mega Man jump higher than Sonic? Is Sega's blue hedgehogedgehog faster than Flash Man? We'll all find out next year, thanks to Archie Comics. » 7/10/12 8:30am 7/10/12 8:30am

New comics come out on Wednesdays. So why is my weekly list of new-comics recommendations running on a Thursday? I blame the avalanche of gaming news, screenshots and trailers tumbling out of Gamescom. I briefly found space, however, to recommend some comics. » 8/18/11 6:40pm 8/18/11 6:40pm

There are new comics out every week, but this week doesn't just have a strong batch of new books that are hitting store shelves. It's also got an unusually strong amount of legitimate digital downloadable comics, including a re-issuing of a few issues of the Detroit-era Justice League of America. You know, the worst… » 8/10/11 7:20pm 8/10/11 7:20pm

Good luck squeezing into your local comics shop this week. Plenty of strangers will probably be dropping in to pick up the new Spider-Man comic with the new Spider-Man in it. But squeeze on in, because there are some cool new comics out this week. And there are some good old ones available for legitimate digital… » 8/03/11 5:00pm 8/03/11 5:00pm

I was supposed to recommend the week's best new comics yesterday. I'm a day late. Fitting, I guess, because one of the new comics is tied in to Duke Nukem Forever. That's my excuse. On with the recommendations... » 7/21/11 2:40pm 7/21/11 2:40pm

There are new comics in comic shops and available for download on many of your favorite digital devices (no, not your microwave) every Wednesday. I have recommendations for you. One of them is a limited time offer... for a digital comic. Go figure. » 7/13/11 2:00pm 7/13/11 2:00pm

Regular readers of our regular new-comics recommendations round-ups may have noticed that I always list the week's new video game-related comics, but never recommend them. That's because I rarely read video game comics. But, hey, maybe you would like them. » 7/06/11 6:00pm 7/06/11 6:00pm
