Reading through it for the first time, up to issue 197, so over halfway.
Holy crap, why is it so dramatic? There's waaaay too much Royalty in it, its really not as good as I thought, which is disappointing, because I grew up knowing about the comic, but never being able to read it, until now, and it just doesn't amount to much besides convoluted multiverse characters, royal inheritance/council drama, relationship drama, stories written to coincide with the games but not having enough to work with and only using a tiny amount, and constant "truces" with betrayals. I talked about the high stakes in IDW, and thought the Egg Grapes part had a similar level of "he finally did it, he caught everyone", but it gets fixed within an issue. If IDW has high stakes, Archie had high stakes that never amount to much. I'm still gonna finish it, I'm committed to seeing it through, like I was with finishing 06, these are just my thoughts. The good heroic stuff is still a ton of fun though.
Edit: Forgot to add how weird the choices made by the council are "hey lets toss these folks in prison for breaking the rules... you know, the ones who've fought for our freedom since they were 8 like some sorta 'Freedom Fighters'??"
