"Hot Times, Cold Nose"
Chuck and Archie visit Uncle Jack who is a Forest Ranger. The art is done in the traditional Archie style. Vegas Archie's dog is the star of this story. He is a lot smarter and helpful them he gets credit for. We are shown that this is one good dog.He deserves the petting he gets.
"Runaway Runaway!"
Veronica and Sheila are competing in a fashion show. Its Veronica's money vs Sheila's skill. Archie ends up giving Sheila a helping hand and does more than anyone thought he would. Veronica knows when she has been beat and here is gracious in defeat which is a nice change to see. The art is gorgeous in the style you have come to know.
Sheila and Vegas are both not main characters but in these stories it is wonderful to see them featured. You will enjoy these stories and love to art. They are short, sweet and oh so nice.

"Foot Fallout!" Archie is his usual klutzy self at the Lodge estate. This leads to him and Mr. Lodge not getting along overly well. The end result is funny as Mr. Lodge joins him. The art style is done in the traditional style as is the story. This is what you have come to love.
"Disaster Movie!" Cousin Marsha for some unknown reason actually thought Archie would make a good assistant for her. What was she thinking? Archie does cause his usual destruction. You wonder how one teen boy can do so much in so short a time. Another great story in the traditional style with art to match.
Archie may get into more trouble than you can imagine yet he is still such a beloved character. You will find yourself always on his side and always routing for him.

Comments: "Game Plan" Here we see Archie proving that playing video games can be useful in real life. Archie plays his game and wins but than were do you go once you have won, its game over. Poor Archie even when he wins he loses. The art looks good in the traditional style of Archie Comics.
"Wendy Be Warned" Great art Wendy Weatherbee looks pretty. The Bee decides to decide on her date to the dance and it is fun to watch as he picks out her date. All the boys wanted to date her but only one got the pleasure. The Bee does pick wisely just not entertainingly for Wendy. Wendy is a nice character to see she is so friendly.
These digital comics are short but they do pack a punch. You get a smaller page count yet the stories are just as wonderfully entertaining as always. Archie is so beloved by all.

Comments: "Sniffing Around!" Cricket is featured here and her character has been changed slightly from the original Archie Comics character. She is still extremely cute. Her affliction is ridiculous and it is meant to be funny but it is not. Plus the way Archie keeps putting himself and Betty down because they do not have much money is pitiful. The whole story is sad.
"Historical or Hysterical?" Veronica does have a way of making everything about her. She also can turn something bad about her into something good. She is basically a good person just sometimes she gets a little high strung. Veronica is illustrated very nice in her pink dress. The poses are well done. The story itself is swallow and lacks the fun entertaining side it needs.
The art throughout this comic is cute and something you will enjoy seeing.
