Additional layers of confusion are merely added by the fact that all the New Riverdale titles seem to look like they belong to the same universe, and vague cross-references have appeared here and there, along with some commonalities. Yet there is nothing distinctly pointing to the titles NOT being in the same universe, either. It's only when the stories are closely examined that we can discover that things just don't line up between them, but it's subtle and non-obvious unless you dig deeper.

Templeton did a really nice job with the inking. Gives it a slightly different look.
I hate Betty's hair. Makes her less attractive.
That's how she wears her hair on the show.

And we STILL have no explanation of how the two girls (rivals from the point of Veronica's introduction in ARCHIE, and his breakup with Betty as the ex-gf) became such solid friends. They just ARE in the New Riverdale universe, as if we're supposed to import that information as "given" from the classic Archie stories.
