Hi Karl, thanks for the comment. You're not wrong to say Archie isn't an equivalent to Hate, I would argue that there is no direct equivalent to Hate these days. The Archie relaunch is rather part of a larger trend in comics that includes the successes of Lumberjanes, Ms. Marvel, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and the Cameron Stewart / Babs Tarr take on Batgirl. These are all Direct Market books which also perform very well on online platforms and in book stores. I could have used any of these as an example of a (newish) thirst for positivity and optimism in comics, but chose Archie due to the parallels I saw between it and Hate, as detailed in the article. It's hard to pick out what defines a generation while it's still in the progress of forming, so whether or not the Archie relaunch will come to be considered a classic in the same way as Bagge's work is yet to be seen, but I'm certainly enjoying reading it at the moment. The true successor to Bagge might be more likely to be found online in the world of web comics than anything in print but Bagge and the marketplace in which he flourished were so much of a moment that I'm not sure we'll quite see the likes of Hate again, at least in terms of it's cultural impact.
