YMMV / Life With Archie: The Married Life

Go To

  • Anvilicious: In the comic's last story, Archie dies taking the bullet during a gun-control rally. Some also view Archie dying specifically to save his gay best friend from a heteronormative crusader to be this as well.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Veronica's plane disappearance is now even creepier in light of this. Although her story ended up with a happier if crazy ending...
  • I Knew It!: From the time that it was revealed that Archie would die saving someone, but not who would be the one to be saved, on April 8, 2014, some of Archie's fans speculated that Archie would die saving Senator Kevin Keller from an assassination attempt from busboy Wendell three months before Issue #36 would be released.
  • Misaimed Marketing: For the first issues, these maturely written comics had to share a magazine with articles about such tween-targeted pop culture as The Twilight Saga and Glee.
  • No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: When one comic featured not one, but two versions of Kevin Keller's wedding, parent groups demanded Toys 'R Us pull it from their shelves. They refused, and the issue went on to sell out in several retailers.
  • Signature Scene: The death of Archie Andrews in the second-to-last issue.
  • The Woobie: Nearly every member of the cast struggles through difficulties, but Archie still takes the cake.
