Read the first Kevin Keller collection. The fact that Archie Comics had the guts to invent this character gives me comic geek pride. That the character and his stories have been heaped with praise from fans, awards, good reviews from critics, and excellent sales...that makes me think that there is hope for our society. Sure it's just a character in teen comedic soap opera comics, but to have a positive gay teen representation in comic books aimed at kids and teens is an amazing turn.
