Betty & Veronica #3 – Review
When Archie Comics first announced Adam Hughes as the writer and artist for Betty & Veronica, I was cautiously optimistic. With each of the first two issues, I got more optimistic, but remained cautious. The book, however good it was, still didn't seem to quite fit with the new narrative that Mark Waid had established for the New Riverdale.

Now you can have them a collected edition for your bookshelf instead of filed away in some boxes. As a bonus, both Mark Waid and Fiona Staples talk about recreating Archie and Riverdale, and there's a look at Fiona Staples' art process.

One of the surprises for me this year has been the relaunched Archie series by Mark Waid and Fiona Staples. Archie Comics has been kind enough to send us some teaser pages.
