Review: Archie Meets Batman '66 #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Holy crossover, Archie. Nothing is groovier than Veronica’s costumes mixed in with the exploits of the evil villains of Gotham City. This comic begins in Gotham with the dynamic duo facing off against the evil Poison Ivy. The first half focuses on the Batman ’66 world before going to the retro Riverdale, full of 1960s outfits. There is a dastardly new villain in Riverdale with the despicable power to control men. Zoinks. Okay sorry, wrong franchise. This issue serves as a prelude to what is coming up with the story setting up the villains of Gotham going to Riverdale. This issue boils down to setting up both worlds and leading towards the promised crossover. Expect a good number of villains and heroics, along with the good-natured Archie gang.

Review: Archie Superteens vs. Crusaders #1

By Robert Ramos

Great. Just what the world needs.. yet another Archie comic series. Isn’t it time this beloved series just goes away? I mean, who actually still reads Archie comics? If you do, please tell me and single me out. Regardless, we’re given another installment in the Archie universe, and this time, your favorite comic book ginger and his posse are superheroes. And you know what? It wasn’t half bad.

Riverdale Goes to War in New ARCHIE 1941 Mini-Series by Waid, Augustyn, and Krause

By Dustin Cabeal

I don't know about this if Archie doesn't come back with a drinking problem from seeing the inside of Jughead's skull... then I'm calling it a missed opportunity.

Review: Archie vol. 5

By Hunter T. Patrick

Following the fallout of the last Archie story arc, Archie #23-27 deals directly with the percussions of “Over the Edge”. Mark Waid began his run stronger, and it seemed that the last arc was the best, now (re)reading all the issues in here does this prove that his run keeps getting better and better. Being a huge Riverdale fan, and a proud fan of the current Archie comics (from New Riverdale to Archie Horror), this is a great example why everyone should be proud to collect and follow everyone’s favorite redhead (take that Ron Weasley).

Review: Jughead: The Hunger #2

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s so much potential in this story. As a comic fan, I wish that most companies were willing to do alternative world comics like this. Archie, plus werewolves is a great idea. What isn’t so great about this, is that it’s like reading a fan script for Supernatural starring Riverdale’s cast.

Review: Jughead: The Hunger #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Fear not, if you missed the one-shot issue that leads to this ongoing series, you don’t need to track it down in order to enjoy this issue. I mean, you can still track it down, but it’s not required reading at this point. In fact, this issue pretty much spoils the one-shot.

Review: Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The most surprising thing about Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica is that it’s a six-issue series. I will admit that I was excited about this crossover at first, mostly because Paul Dini was writing it. If anyone were going to write this and make it good, you’d think it would be Dini. Unfortunately, it’s an incredibly boring issue and I can’t imagine reading five more of them.
