Due to Hurricane Irma knocking out power for nearly two days this week, I had to substitute a quickie comic book review this week. I opened a storage box and reviewed the first comic that I found, which is Betty and Veronica Spectacular #78 from 2007.

This week, I review "The New Archies" segment, "Telegraph, Telephone, Tell Reggie".

I subscribed so it's only like 2.50 a copy but I'd pay 3.99 otherwise.

I've stopped trusting Archie subscriptions. I subscribed to "Betty" and got one issue (the final one); my subscription was not transferred to "Betty & Veronica" (as was supposedly going to happen). I recently renewed my P.O. Box pretty much solely so I can receive the remaining issues in my AWA and CHAoS subscriptions. It's more of a hassle now than anything.

Still debating whether to drop $3.99 on this.

A bit late, but this week's review is S1E01 of "Riverdale", "Chapter One: The River's Edge".

I didn't mention this last night, but chapter 09, "Nova Satori" (occurring in May), is now up.

Hey Tuxedo Mark, just wanted to let you know I do read your reviews.  I rarely watch the animated stuff, but I do like seeing the screen shots and hearing your comments. Thanks for keeping your review page going all this time. 

Thanks for reading!

This week, I review "The New Archies" segment, "Jughead the Jinx".

This week, I review the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" episode, "Me! Me! Me!".

Now that I think about it, the whole Adam Hughes' B&V thing has been pretty disastrous for the company. ... what B&V contributed to the company was 3 issues that took an entire year to come out. That is bad. ... Get a stable creative team that will commit to the title for at least 12 issues, and can deliver pages on time every 6 weeks, or less.

This has me wondering why writers and/or artists can get away with slow work in the first place. Shouldn't it be built into their contracts: "You will provide the script and/or artwork on this schedule, or the contract is terminated"?

This week, I review the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" episode, "Driven to Distraction".

In the context of cartoon reality, it's funny...when Archie is oblivious to anyone's feelings but his own

Not sure why this would be considered funny. I'm currently re-watching an episode of "Archie's Weird Mysteries" where Archie is obsessed with his car and not really paying attention to the girls. The girls are offended but just kinda take it, and they sigh in frustration. I keep thinking "Quiet DUMP the idiot! He's not gonna notice your lack of presence in his life anyway!"

This week, I review "The New Archies" segment, "Red to the Rescue".

I decided to do a bonus post - an essay about the value and expected life of the monthly (floppy) comic book.

A bit late, but I've reviewed "The Road Worrier", the lead story in Your Pal Archie #1.
