I have some concerns about the blatant sexualization of these teenage girls tbh, but the art and writing are both REALLY good.

Another day, another Archie comic that I love. I thought this story was fresh and new while still being reminiscent of the original series. There were parts where I found myself chuckling out loud. I also really loved the art. Archie forever <3.

Why? Why? Why? Whyyyyyy! I'd read a lot of Archie comics in olden times, and thought it might be good to read a reboot just for nostalgia sake. What an absolute piece of trash and a terrible waste of time. I regret that 30 minutes of life are irretrievably lost. Thankfully, it was free on Comixology Unlimited, so at least I didn't spend money on it! I shall now atone by reading a couple of volumes of The Walking Dead.P.S. If you would like to reward me for saving you some time, I do accept (vega...

Adam Hughes has a great sense of humor, a great sense of style and I had a great time reading this very funny book! I didn’t know he could write! But he can and does very well.

Adam Hughes brings his cheesecake art style and a tongue-in-cheek attitude to this stupidly fun story of Betty and Veronica fighting over the fate of Pop Tate's Chock'lit Shoppe when a Starbucks-like chain wants to turn it into a coffee shop. I found myself chuckling quite often.And then, tucked into the back is Jughead (2015) #12, wherein Ryan North and Derek Charm bring their Squirrel Girl techniques to bear on my favorite burger eater -- Sorry, Wimpy! -- and it works quite well.

This wasn't bad but was pretty typical, other than the Adam Hughes art. The gang has to save Pop's Choklit Shop (again. I think they've done that about 100 times, literally, although they do poke fun at that in the story so it's not like they're unaware). This time, however, Betty and Veronica find themselves on opposite sides. It's not bad, and comes across as a typical Archie story when it's all said and done. Plus, the Hughes artwork is sexy as always. Nothing new here, but at least the old i...

This has some entertainment value, and I admit to being tickled that a comic would use the word atavistic on the first page. However, all such vocabulary is uttered by Jughead's dog as narrator, which almost immediately signaled that any winks or wit would be compromised with too-obvious canine humor. The teens themselves drop more than a few modern pop culture allusions, which kept the dialogue lively. The story, on the other hand, fully embraces unflattering female stereotypes and then excuses...

I love so much about this. I love that the narrator is 'Hot Dog', Jughead's dog and he always is fun. I love that the writers are making fun of the main plot point. Pop's is going to be shut down again and the characters say something about how this happens every month or something. Betty and Veronica are great together. I think I like the Vixens biker gang better, but this was awesome. Betty and Veronica split and they are on opposite sides of the Pop debate. Veronica wants the new coffee shop

So much fun. I love the art, and it was an entertaining storyline. The dog narrator was an odd choice, though.

Betty and Veronica have certainly never looked better than now with Adam Hughes drawing them. Some will say his art is cheesecake, but he has toned it down for this series. The dialogue is surprisingly snappy for someone known only as an artist. This is only 3 issues long with an issue of Jughead to pad out the page count.

Hmm. This is only the third Archie universe book I've ever read, so I admit that I'm still not at all familiar with the characters. Is Veronica really this shitty of a person...? I feel like the story overall was kind of weak, but I guess for a mini series I can't expect anything that requires the time needed for significant story and character development. (but even for a mini series, it was weak. Soooo.)

I know some people considered this the fly in the ointment of the Archie relaunch books; Adam Hughes is quite a cheesecake artist, the plot leans heavily on catfight tropes, and there's even a gratuitous swimsuit scene, albeit a knowing one. And if I'd read it circa the first series of Riverdale, which had the girls much more as friends than rivals, and teased the obvious solution to their eternal triangle with Archie, I'd maybe have felt likewise. But instead I read it during a break in the sec...

This would be 4 stars if they didn't do the dog narration again! But I love seeing this story not focus on male characters, romance, and seeing that their friendship was most important in the end!

Was kind of upset with the artwork for this. Especially if you know my love for Archie and Riverdale then you know I am upset :/

I enjoyed roughly 90% of the 3 issues collected here. I didn't mind the dog narration that seems a theme often in Archie comics, but did mind the cliched ending and a few moments that they thought were funny that just come off annoying. Overall, I would rather read some of the older stories than this, but it is still enjoyable to read once.

I had already read part of this in Road to Riverdale collection, and actually commented a bit on the Betty and Veronica part in my review: "The art style was totally different than what you'd expect in an Archie comic, let alone for the girls; I don't know if I can say I liked it, but I definitely thought it was interesting. I also really liked the story and am hyped to read more when it is released."I still stand by those comments, the art style wasn't what I'd expect from a B&V title - you...

This is the first comic that I’ve read in a very long time but I’m starting to love the Archie universe! The characters are amazing and I truly love both Veronica and Betty. The art style was super interesting and to have a dog narrating the entire thing was genius. Longer review to come soon!

Adam Hughes is a great artist, but really not an appropriate choice for a book aimed at teenagers. Betty and Veronica are gorgeous, but they are supposed to be babies still! What does this book think it is... Riverdale? (Actually, Riverdale manages to look more age-appropriate though both the show and book are guilty of unnecessary bikini/lingerie shots). The story is nothing special. Betty and Veronica have a war, and everyone feels pretty one-note. What an odd odd choice on the part of Archie....

It only collects issues 1-3 so it's not a very long read it all, definitely something that can be carried onto the bus or to keep you busy during medium-ish breaks of time that need filling. There's no over-arching plot, like most Betty & Veronica [as well as Archie and Jughead comics] the kids are going through something that will help them learn and grow and change. A big name coffee chain [similar I feel, to startbucks] has come to take over Pop's diner. It's the beginning of modernization fo...

My least favorite of the New Riverdale books. The dog narrator is just plain weird, and the story is just barely ok. Including that particular issue of Jughead just shows how mediocre this particular book was in comparison to most of the rest of the line.
