The Waid/Staples reboot seems like a good example of a proper reboot. Modernized updated. But still in keeping with the tone and characterization of the source material. Unlike the "Riverdale" tv series.
A lot of the time when I watch you videos I think, ''Man come on, don't do that! I don't need you to hurt yourself, I just wanna hear about comics!''. Anyway, thanks and keep on the good work ;)
Great vid, Chris. Reminds me of the time my friend won $1000 in one of those scratch-and-win lottery tickets. He bought 20 Big Macs and ate 11. My other friend ate 4. I got sick after eating only 2. My friend was the living embodiment of Jughead as far as eating burgers was concerned. HahA!
I have traveled a bit in my day.In every country there was always some representation of superheroism.Are you telling me canada has no reflection of superman or the Avengers?
@@darrylwiggins1156 I live in Canada and we most definitely have every comic available to us that the States does. As far as pop culture goes there is really not that much of a difference in what is available in the States and what is available in Canada. I have no idea where Pinfarmer is from but I’m guessing it’s somewhere up North.
@@royjones8312 I understand that,Roy.What i meant was,for my own curiosity sake,does canada have a superman,or Avengers team it can call it's own? please don't say Alpha flight or Miracleman.I'm aware of them.
A lot of people can't eat that many burgers because of how physically filling they are, Jugg Head can do it because he's a comic book character and a glutton.
First off, I have been enjoying your channel for sometime now. And yes the viewer in the comments suggesting sliders is great hindsight, it was brutal watching you do this.. it reminds me of a friend and I going to a cheap burger place ( burger express) in Battle Creek Michigan and buying 24 cheeseburgers and seeing how many we could eat.😥🤢. Any way really enjoy your channel keep up the great work. And maybe ( not that I am advocating alcohol use) but stick to the shots 👍
My first intro to the Archie publications was Sabrina the teenage witch starring Melissa Joan Hart. Waid's run has made me a fan of the main books & the company's other books. Also, no human being can eat that many burgers & not come down with heartburn or major league hurling. Not even Jughead.
I watch a few comics channels and yours is easily the most entertaining. You actually have a "show" not just listing facts and doing a review. I love all your segments, tropes and gags / hilarious cold opens.
As soon as I saw those burgers I knew it was an awful idea, and I was not disappointed. I remember when I could've done that without breaking a sweat, and now I just feel old
Awesome video. I would visit that Zanadu location with my roommates almost weekly while I was attending AIS. We lived just a few blocks away. Great store. I miss it.
Chris, your commitment to your work is astounding, hats off! I love burgers but eight would do me in :) Next time pick up some White Castle belly bombs! Keep the great videos coming, I really enjoy the quality, dedication and thoughtful information of the content you provide. -Rich Fekete
Hiarliously, given this comic's success at repliating the tone (if not the format) of the classic Americana Archie, Riverdale actually had an episode pretty much laughing at the idea that you could successfully update Archie's wholesome charm to the modern day. Because Riverdale isn't even trying to be Archie. It's One Tree Hill, set in Twin Peaks, with characters named after Archie characters.
Went to look them up so i can stop by next time in settle... The good guys don’t always win. Unfortunately, our world is harsher than that of comic books and after 42 years of battling in the trenches of comic book retail, Zanadu Comics closed its doors at the end of January 2018. Believe us when we say that this decision was not made lightly. There are hundreds of reasons we could list, but the truth is that the money coming in did not equal the money going out. Perry has worked and hustled and played the angles for longer than he should have been able to, but time has a way of catching up with even the most diligent businessman. The industry has changed, our clientele has diminished and unfortunately, we were just too far in the red to continue to serve as your local comic book store. :(
Another great vid! Really liking the artwork in that issue. Might pick up an issue to study the art. Thanks for introducing us to this rebooted Archie. I never would have known about it otherwise. I'll have a cheeseburger or 2 or 3 in your honour. Cheers!
Growing up in the 60's I only read titles by Archie, Harvey, Gold Key/Whitman, and Charlton/Modern. In the late 70's I added Warren Publishing. Even now, all these years later, I prefer the comics of Indies over DC and Marvel (although I do buy some of their titles too). Once I started going to Comic Shops in the 80's I really embraced the Indies hardcore. Now I also buy alot of Print-On-Demand comics too. I'm currently spending between $500 to $1,500 per month on Comics, Trade Paperbacks, and Digests.
You missed one trope...did you count the trope when Archie broke one of Mr. Lodge's belongings? He breaks the mansion but you didn't eat a burger for that trope
Now I want a cheese burger... But I'll be damn if I go to a McDonald's... Those things are like a fucking poison for my stomach and I'm for flipping Mexico!! I'm used to eat food of questionable quality when it comes to health and sanitary standars and yet is the food with "good standars" the one that effs me over...
Should have gone for Krystals, or what the Northeast calls Whitecastles, or generically known as sliders. Don't know if they have them in Seattle though.
Am unaware of Archie comics I've remember watching cartoons , reference Most parodies yet great series anywho Mate I wanna eat them burgers so with you buddy
I would really love to see another Hot pepper challenge, also maybe a MCU tropes series for example almost every marvel movie uses Mind Control as a major plot device
I remember you saying that you used to run around with the real life super hero in Seattle. He was recently busted for drugs. That's quite a character Arch... Did you have anything to do with that?
So what's the deal with Jawbreakers? What's going on? Who started it? What started it? What is "it" to begin with? I've run across a few vague videos on TH-cam but that's about it.
It's pretty likely. It's local for me and I'm eligible for a pro pass since I have a comic coming out this month. It's a very good convention. I really admire what Jim Demonakos and his team have built.
Sure. I only illustrated 2 pages in this book but I think it's a great anthology full of quirky real stories about Colonial America: www.amazon.com/Colonial-Comics-II-England-1750-1775-ebook/dp/B01MZ9F9AE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485143463&sr=8-1&keywords=colonial+comics+1750+1775 I also did a 6-page story in Colonial Comics vol. 1. As far as the Emerald City Comic Con, I've been to it several years. I would say it's on the larger side of conventions, though nowhere near the scale of SDCC or NYCC. That means it has big crowds but also fairly big guests. The Artists Alley is a healthy size but most of what you'll find is new comics, dollar bins of 70s through 90s stuff, trade paperback deals and clothes and toys.
I think you should´ve gone to a news stand or a drugstore to pick up the comic. considering the fact that it´s one of the only comics you can get from there.
what did you think of Riverdale? I hated it. I don't understand why some things can't just be left alone. The world was hardly in need of a gritty realistic reboot of Archie. it's a stupid idea and the show is a waste of time
you coulda just taken a BITE of a burger for each trope.... I respect your commitment to your craft, but are you willing to risk heartburn for ARCHIE? Now if it was a VERONICA solo story, THAT I could understand. 😉
Love your show, but sorry, can't listen to people eat. I wanted to hear your take on Archie and the Gang... but I'll move on to one where you're drinking instead. This is on me, don't ever change!

Haha, shoulda gone with sliders, duder!
tehjacon In retrospect, that makes all the sense in the world. Oops.
Especially white castle burgers if you can get them where he is
I kept thinking this throughout the video! :) I hope Chris didn't actually eat all those burgers!!!
Or he should have lit a bowl.
Loophole right!?
Great vid, Chris. Reminds me of the time my friend won $1000 in one of those scratch-and-win lottery tickets. He bought 20 Big Macs and ate 11. My other friend ate 4. I got sick after eating only 2. My friend was the living embodiment of Jughead as far as eating burgers was concerned. HahA!
Archie was the only comic i seen on a news stand from childhood until now. We had nothing in Canada.
I live in Kamloops and we’ve always had comics. Whereabouts in Canada do you live?
I have traveled a bit in my day.In every country there was always some representation of superheroism.Are you telling me canada has no reflection of superman or the Avengers?

@@darrylwiggins1156 interesting question, I’m not actually sure. Next time I’m at the comic store I’ll ask and let you know.
I used to live in Haddon Hall above Zanadu comics. I was living there at the time of filming!
A lot of people can't eat that many burgers because of how physically filling they are, Jugg Head can do it because he's a comic book character and a glutton.
So many cheeseburgers... You truly suffer for your art!
I have some bad ideas.
Bad ideas make for good entertainment!
True
That is not entertaining, it's stupid. The comic talk is great and that shit just ruins the real entertainment.
@@theajshow
No...not at all. He doesn't need to compromise his health to entertain us. His talking about comics is good enough.
Watching you eat these burgers is the funniest thing I've seen since I've been watching this channel. Great stuff

archie is hard to mess up. a goofy wet behind the ears teen with friends that we've all had at one point in our lives. overall it's not bad.
The CW did somehow, then again they're not the best at making anything good
I love how half way through the video becomes mental breakdown and chris, I think that's his name, just starts acting like a victim of drug abuse
Dude, you almost killed yourself for some of that early videos, I'm glad that stopped recently... ^^
I’ll read anything Mark Waid touches. His run on Daredevil is a very close second to Frank Miller’s run
I'm watching this and I'm literally screaming and begging Chris to stop eating burgers XD
I volunteer to eat the cheeseburgers with you
Mario U I would have loved the help. It was painful and gross.
" I just can't eat anymore tropes." So funny!
I am just watching this video. Right after burger #6 when Chris says let's keep reading he looks so defeated already
That Wonderbread story was hilarious
I found out that the video of that day is online!
th-cam.com/video/9ngq4G8lx2o/w-d-xo.html
I'm am impressed. No way could I do that.

I love this episode of Man vs Food.
Archie comics are a good time. I laugh aloud most times I read em. Good vid and burgers.
Thank you!
I watch a few comics channels and yours is easily the most entertaining. You actually have a "show" not just listing facts and doing a review. I love all your segments, tropes and gags / hilarious cold opens.
Yeah most comic channels are either live streamers or Wikipedia articles in video form
Food overdose is the worst... Those burgers looked good tho (french burgers dont look that tasty).. Nice artwork in the end BTW!
Thanks for the kind words.
As soon as I saw those burgers I knew it was an awful idea, and I was not disappointed. I remember when I could've done that without breaking a sweat, and now I just feel old
I would've just done sliders. Which I guess wouldn't be totally accurate but much easier to digest, given all the tropes.
I was a teenage fan of Archie back in the day, Riverdale made me love the characters again.
They're some pretty versatile characters.
Awesome video. I would visit that Zanadu location with my roommates almost weekly while I was attending AIS. We lived just a few blocks away. Great store. I miss it.
“Wow! Look at all these burgers”
*literally half a burger later*
“Oh god, look at all these burgers”
I support this extreme comic review style.
Chris, your commitment to your work is astounding, hats off! I love burgers but eight would do me in :) Next time pick up some White Castle belly bombs! Keep the great videos coming, I really enjoy the quality, dedication and thoughtful information of the content you provide.

I could eat a good cheeseburger now.... or 8 ^^

Gosh Mark Waid has made some truly amazing comics!!!
You deserve way more views for this burger trial it was amazing

Awesome vid! It's never a good idea to eat that many hamburgers though LOL!
You should cover the weird archie comics, where they fight the Predator or some other craziness. Keep up the great work
Or the ones where he's targeted by the Punisher and meets the Ninja Turtles.
You missed one trope...did you count the trope when Archie broke one of Mr. Lodge's belongings? He breaks the mansion but you didn't eat a burger for that trope
He grouped that up with the clumsiness trope in the beginning.
R.I.P. Zanadu. I used to live in Haddon Hall right next door. i miss it.

Oh God... That face says a lot of how much regret you were feeling there...
Appreciate the sacrifice your stomach had to make in the making of this video!
I got quite sick right after recording!
@@ComicTropes This is why it's good to invest in a jump rope.
That is gonna come out in some horrible fashion. Love your content!
logic parks It ended badly for me.
I would have cheaped out and ate those Gummi burgers you’re a braver man then me
It's like watching that 1 scene from se7en with the dead fat dude and spaghetti
Also next time you eat so much, you need an intense workout. Look at Michael Phelps diet. He can consume so much because he burns so many calories.
There’s something oddly enduring about Archie comics.
This poor man doing everything he can for us, his poor tummy.
Yeah dude, should've gone with White Castles.
Should have gone for Krystals, or what the Northeast calls Whitecastles, or generically known as sliders. Don't know if they have them in Seattle though.
Wow you got me interested in Archie...good job.
I am really enjoying it!
Somehow I feel like you _wanted _ to eat all those burgers and were just looking for an excuse. ;-)
A case of be careful what you wish for
Am unaware of Archie comics I've remember watching cartoons , reference
Most parodies yet great series anywho
Mate I wanna eat them burgers so with you buddy
So much regret in so little words.
ouch... ppl weren't meant to eat that many burgers lmao
OriginalOrigins I got sick right after I recorded.
I would really love to see another Hot pepper challenge, also maybe a MCU tropes series for example almost every marvel movie uses Mind Control as a major plot device
I want to play a suicidal eating game like that someday.
Why didn't you eat sliders?
Right they're smaller
I love the comic. Did you really draw the guy in the commode?
Yes, that is me drawing myself.
Dude know!! to many burgers
Should’ve gone with sliders eh Chris.
Wonder how many tropes will come up if he pukes. ;)
I remember you saying that you used to run around with the real life super hero in Seattle. He was recently busted for drugs. That's quite a character Arch... Did you have anything to do with that?
I thought Stan Lee had the alliterative names trope
Aww man, If only you went to White Castle/Crystal's instead
Could you do a comic tropes on neonomicon
Where did the hamburgers come from? Homemade?
RIP Zanadu.
Next time go with Krystal's or White Castle burgers. They're tiny!
What is the restaurant of the burger ?
Got sick to my stomach watching the burger eating
Should have gone to White Castle for your burgers.
one of your funniest episodes
So what's the deal with Jawbreakers? What's going on? Who started it? What started it? What is "it" to begin with? I've run across a few vague videos on TH-cam but that's about it.
you should have gotten white castle burgers to eat
are you going to emerald city comic con this year?
It's pretty likely. It's local for me and I'm eligible for a pro pass since I have a comic coming out this month. It's a very good convention. I really admire what Jim Demonakos and his team have built.
skunkape sweet do you have a link for your book. i am debating on taking the trip from so. oregon to go.
Sure. I only illustrated 2 pages in this book but I think it's a great anthology full of quirky real stories about Colonial America:

Uhhh I’d love to see a comic tropes for SAGA
without ketchup or mustard?
I use to read the original Archie comics. I even read the 'Jughead-Zombie' storyline & it was good but I don't much care for the'new Archie'...
It hurt me u eating those burgers
19:15... Ouch! :-D
He got through it... then he threw up XD
I think you should´ve gone to a news stand or a drugstore to pick up the comic. considering the fact that it´s one of the only comics you can get from there.
this video is hell, your face is really in pain!
His name wasn't changed? Jughead's last name has always been Jones
Another great show!
Should have used slider size burgers.
I'm starting to think you just use comic tropes as an excuse to eat unhealthy and get drunk 😂
what did you think of Riverdale?
I hated it. I don't understand why some things can't just be left alone. The world was hardly in need of a gritty realistic reboot of Archie.
it's a stupid idea and the show is a waste of time
Dang, you’re a beast!!!
Is it sad when I look at how many burgers he has I think to myself "yeah I could down them all no problem"?
...
Now I hungry for burgers :(
You should do a collab with Furious Pete
you coulda just taken a BITE of a burger for each trope.... I respect your commitment to your craft, but are you willing to risk heartburn for ARCHIE?
Now if it was a VERONICA solo story, THAT I could understand. 😉
how did you do that? lol.
Holy shit! Finally someone more self abusive than myself!
I'm hungry
next time white castle
should have made sliders my guy
Love your show, but sorry, can't listen to people eat. I wanted to hear your take on Archie and the Gang... but I'll move on to one where you're drinking instead. This is on me, don't ever change!
