It is going to be odd to not see digests anymore. I still wish they hadn't shrunk them down to 80 pages either. It's almost like the double digests really aren't "double" any more since they're about the same size the original digests were years ago.

That's interesting sleeping attire for Veronica there.  I would have figured her to be wearing a nightie of some modest sort.  (Betty would be oversized shirt type.)

Would any women here care to comment on it?

Most of the time I wear Pj's or nightie but when the wether's really hot I go my undies maybe it was a really hot night in Riverdale. Any how the twilight ode looks more promising than I thought it would be. I will buy it becuase unlike evrey other stroy that Veroinca going for diferrent guy than Archie this one actually acknoweldeges Reggie as factor in Veroinca life other than just some random friend.

As for the life with Archie prewiew I hope that Earth Veroinca's Betty is not all  my life suck like this for forever. I just don't see that being fun or intersting for any one. So I hope that ends and the sooner the better.

I like Betty's down-tilted contemplative/sad faces on page 5 of Veronica and pages 1 and 4 of Betty.

I definitely like this stuff!
