About the author
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
467 books477 followersRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa is an American playwright, screenwriter, and comic book writer best known for his work for Marvel Comics and for the television series Glee, Big Love, Riverdale, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He is Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics.
Aguirre-Sacasa grew up liking comic books, recalling in 2003, "My mom would take us out to the 7-Eleven on River Road during the summer, and we would get Slurpees and buy comics off the spinning rack. I would read them all over and over again, and draw my own pictures and stuff."
He began writing for Marvel Comics, he explained, when "Marvel hired an editor to find new writers, and they hired her from a theatrical agency. So she started calling theaters and asking if they knew any playwrights who might be good for comic books. A couple of different theaters said she should look at me. So she called me, I sent her a couple of my plays and she said 'Great, would you like to pitch on a couple of comic books in the works?'"
His first submissions were "not what [they were] interested in for the character[s]" but eventually he was assigned an 11-page Fantastic Four story, "The True Meaning of...," for the Marvel Holiday Special 2004. He went on to write Fantastic Four stories in Marvel Knights 4, a spinoff of that superhero team's long-running title; and stories for Nightcrawler vol. 3; The Sensational Spider-Man vol. 2; and Dead of Night featuring Man-Thing.
In May 2008 Aguirre-Sacasa returned to the Fantastic Four with a miniseries tie-in to the company-wide "Secret Invasion" storyline concerning a years-long infiltration of Earth by the shape-shifting alien race, the Skrulls,and an Angel Revelations miniseries with artists Barry Kitson and Adam Polina, respectively. He adapted for comics the Stephen King novel The Stand.
In 2013, he created Afterlife with Archie, depicting Archie Andrews in the midst of a zombie apocalypse; the book's success led to Aguirre-Sacasa being named Archie Comics' chief creative officer.

A true-to-character Reggie Mantle story, but I definitely preferred the last comic interaction he had with Josie where he displayed actual humanity amidst his vanity. One thing I'm enjoying about the more modern comics is that they're adding layers to Moose, Veronica, Reggie, and even Dilton to tell better stories, but this one was a bit of a step back into classic Mantle.

This was essentially about the most ridiculous prank to try and get a girl to go to prom with you! Was truly a very stupid idea though as we all know, pranks never hold up 😂

2.75 en realidad.
-
En este tomo, Reggie decide inventarse que tiene una enfermedad terminal para que Josie se decida a salir con él. Y ya de paso para que todo el mundo sea bueno con él y le den todo lo que quiera.
-
La historia tiene una premisa muy mala, es una situación manipuladora en la que se intenta engañar a una persona para que se sienta mal y salga con él. Sin embargo, sí que tiene sentido con el personaje, aunque en la serie no haya hecho nada parecido, sí que puedo imaginarme a Reggie haciendo algo parecido.

This issue seemed pointless. It just showcased how much of a dick Reggie is. The depths of which he would go through, to lie, just to get a date with Josie. It is sick, demented and crazy to lie about dying just to get a date to the prom. Only Reggie...

No
A second issue about Reggie manipulating females for his own gain? No thanks. I can't believe they wrote a second one.

Not Canon-Friendly, Icky Plotline
Tally one more issue under "literally cannot possibly have happened between episodes" and cross-reference it with the footnote "I keep asking myself why I'm reading these and lack a solid answer."
In this issue, Reggie takes influence from a popular movie which he namedrops multiple times (yet miraculously nobody recognizes) as he spins a wicked web of deceit just to guilt Josie into being his prom date. Jughead makes the semi-obscure references I expect from him and sleuths around to get to the bottom of the situation. But Archie, Betty, Veronica, and in fact the entire town are all gullible idiots. They fall for his scam without bothering to do even a cursory Google search and suddenly Reggie is on local public access television, rumours are all over the school, and he has everyone's sympathy for something which never happened.
Also, Archie has Reggie's car. It was given to him. Tell me again how these things supposedly happen between episodes...? There isn't even much continuity between issues of this comic, seeing how all the kids who should be sick with mono are magically better.
I'm not a fan of Reggie being portrayed as downright despicable this way, or of this plotline. Yuck.

A story that is all focused on Reggie. Love the connection between the story, and the movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Oh my Reggie how did you think you would get away with it. what is the saying " Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive". Nothing good can come from it and (SPOILER) this is just what happens. But I guess that is our Reggie. lol
