Women Wednesday: Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Spy Girls #1

The cover of Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Spy Girls #1 features Betty, Veronica, Mad Doctor Doom, Chester and Medusa Doom. The first story is titled "Medusa Gone Wild" with Agent B and Agent V getting the drop on Medusa Doom after locking up her father, Mad Doctor Doom. This is a new story that introduces Medusa Doom. The second story is titled "Where the Action is..." features the agents tryuing to find a missing Archie. Next is a classic B.E.T.T.Y. as the Girl from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. two part story titled "Playthings of Pearl" that finds her battling the Toymaker. Chester appears briefly in part one but ends up being a robot. Chester is usually Mad Doctor Doom's assistant, so it was odd to so little of them in this issue.

I like the fact that Archie Horror treats the back cover as if it was just as important as the front cover:

Archie And Gang Receives New Look

From Newsarama's Archie & Riverdale Get A New Look:

While I prefer the classic look, at least Archie and the gang are not going manga like Sabrina. The new art is supposed to make the characters more realistic. I hope that Jughead does not loose his hat or gain weight from eating all those hamburgers (realistically, he should be the size of Moose). I also hope that realistic stories like drug use and pregnant teens do not become part of the new look. Archie comics still make me laugh now as much as they did when I was kid reading them over thirty years ago.
