Veronica #175 - Archie Comics

Reviews

Watching the plans fall into the allotted slots in the first story just hangs a direction into a well known path. Creaking over into the punch line panel and it's a raw feeling to know where the dirty foot prints were leading. All in the mud and the consistency of the step, the weaving in and out for the course is interesting. If not over a page too many. Damn, it's all there in the title of the story after all.

Taste a bit of the sorbet and a pirate in the mix seems perfunctory. The flatness of the end coming up to bring it right home with the third story in the issue. And it's where the issue really nicks in a favour for what is a good old story. Veronica's solution to her public speaking problem is revelatory. Perhaps this Archie fella should be used as much as he's using the Betty/Archie/Veronica triad. Sure works for Veronica in this situation.

Bending the snow with The Archie's rivals

Staff picks

Day of days will arrive on May 25. The release of X-Men 3: The Last Stand to close it all out and possibly shoot off with some splinters come good turn of money. Or it could be the new end of the first trilogy set. Who knows, the money knows.

Futurama Comics #25 where Bender, Fry and Leela going all Robin Hood on New New York's grass. Or something like that. There appears to be nothing more than a fuzzy cover out there and a not quite clear solicit read for the issue itself. Still, 25 already is impressive given that 22 remains unread.

Missing the first round of the fight, it was high time to reorder and grab Veronica #167. With Archie and Friends #100 featuring the second appearance of The Veronicas, why not go back and catch them in the act the first time around when it wasn't that far into the past? No reason not to.
