There's basically nothing of substance there and it's hard to see why an adult would find the Mirage studios much more appealing, there are actual attempts to make you care about the story and characters (flawed as they may be).
As for the Archie series I don't get it. It's better than the Fred Wolf cartoon because there's actually stuff going, but it isn't good in any well crafted or artistic sense. Whenever it's not just Steve Murphy getting on a soap box to promote environmentalism, it tells a real schizo storyline that barely makes sense if at all. I could handle PSA crap if the story was actually good but it's not, simply having a story doesn't mean it's worthwhile because it has to work too. And I'm not sure I can call it lighthearted given the fairly disturbing turns it takes, I don't know what you're smoking to think that. And the artwork almost always sucked too.
Mirage isn't perfect but I can at least say I understand most of what's going on and usually care about it when I read the comics. Fred Wolf and Archie are nothing, because they don't care about anything being anything other than a toy commercial and/or a glorified PSA.

I have to disagree, as a grown ass man I'm still very fond of the original series and don't see any problems with it. I'm a believer of if you like something even if its old, Its still good to you years after. My thoughts on it never change. What's good is good for me. My opinions on it never change.
