Archie Comics Fan Forum

I loved this issue! I thought the writing was hilarious, full of pop culture references. I spotted one to Mean Girls and probably some to the Josie and the Pussycats movie. It's definitely a comic written for girls. The girls aren't really drawn sexily to appeal to guys. But you have tons of superhero comics for that. The story is more linear and easier to follow than Jem. I loved the plot about a charity show for animals, the thing with Melody and cats, them being older and living on their own, Valerie being the better singer, the appearances of Pepper and Alan M. The only problem is it was too short. I'm going to read it again. More, More, please ACP! This issue was my favorite from the new Riverdale by far.

Pepper is great in this! I hope they use her more in the future.

What did you think about the whole Alexandra and Josie being ex-best-friends thing? I'm dying to know what that notebook labeled 'Josie' was that Alexandra appeared to have swiped from the bar. (You can see it on the bar while Pepper is talking.)
