What happens when you go away to a spooky cabin in the woods on Friday the 13th? Find out in this week's WORLD OF BETTY & VERONICA DIGEST #38, and let's just say we're glad it's not us!


When Veronica decides the unlucky day is the perfect time to kick off a girls' weekend deep in the woods at the Lodge Lodge, things start off nice enough! But when the gang pops on a scary movie, they're soon jumping at every sound for fear of the dreaded Briar Witch. And to make things worse, the goings-on in the movie start to show up in real life. What happens next? Pick it up and read "Lodge of Terror" by Dan Parent to find out!

I haven't been buying as much in the way of Archie comics lately because I've run out of room for them, but I subscribe to their digest box now (four digests every month, though you get them a couple months after they're released. It's still cheaper than buying them individually as they're released though). I got the following in the latest one:
Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #358
Archie Milestones Jumbo Comics Digest #26 (Jughead Winter Wonderland)
Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #332
World of Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest #38

As some of you may have noticed recently, the gallery ("media") was no longer working. The addon I was using is no longer developed, so rather than try to work around/fix the issues (or hope that the developer of that addon would be willing to help), I switched to a different one. All of the items from the old gallery have been imported into the new one, though there was a problem importing the view counts. Let me know if you have any issues/questions

I'm not familiar with any of the characters. I've heard of the Clerks films and of course Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back but that's about it. I might pick this up anyway as it sounds interesting.

Where's Dante and Randall dammit?!

Interesting news... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/kevin-smith-penning-archie-meets-jay-and-silent-bob-1236157803/
I'm not familiar with the Jay & Silent Bob characters but might check this out anyway

I review "Gift Gambit!" from Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #356.
