In Two Days Archie Will Be Shot To Death Saving His Best Friend – Who Is Gay

Comic book hero Archie Andrews will die a hero in two days, saving his best friend from an assassination attempt. The shocker is this is a huge statement about gun control from the Archie Comics publisher.

Gone are the days when comic books were somewhat mindless and wholly removed from the realities of the day. Archie Andrews first came to life in 1941 at Riverdale High School. On Wednesday, he will die a hero, saving his best friend, Kevin Keller, from an assassin's bullet.

In the final installment of "Life with Archie," the grown up Archie will make a profound statement about gun control, likely one conservatives will despise.

Kevin Keller, Archie Comics first gay character, "is a married military veteran and newly elected senator who's pushing for more gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting," Mashable reports.
