BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
You get two continuing stories in every issue of this comic/ magazine. And that's my only real complaint about this book. One story examines Archie's life if he had married Veronica, the other his life if he'd married Betty. The problem is the two storylines are so similar it's very easy to get confused as to what happened in each one.
I don't know how Archie picked Norm Breyfogle to draw this book but it was a genius choice. I think it's quite possibly some of the best work of his career and I never would have considered the guy.
It's a 'serious' look at Archie as gets older and fascinating reading to anyone that's followed the gang for any period of time!
