There have been some updates over the years, the house style is still more or less the same, but there was a big reboot a few years ago.
Notable changes:
Introduced Kevin Keller in 2010 as a main gay character.

Woah, thanks for such a detailed reply. I have to look into it one by one now. Gosh.
Also, while you’re at it, if you’re a fan of horror, the Archie Comics Chilling Adventures series is a lot of fun.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am gonna check that out as well. I am a sucker for horror 😋
Oh, yeah, they have a whole "Afterlife With Archie" line, which has unfortunately kind of stopped now. The main creator kind of got sucked in to television production and stepped away and that line has kind of just... faded a bit.
