Archie #605

This issue wraps up the six-issue storyline, "What would happen if Archie married either Betty or Veronica?"

For the final chapter, we see Betty and Archie returning to their roots and taking jobs that put them right where they belong - at Riverdale High School!

It's a fun story by Michael Uslan, if a bit heavy on the sitcom humor - especially when Archie has to rush Betty to the hospital.

But it's all in good fun, and there are more than a few surprise developments along the way (wait 'til you see what happens to Jughead)!

As always, the art by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith is outstanding, although I'm still a bit thrown by the "grown-up" versions of the gang.

I've been away from Archie's comics for a while (of course, they're not exactly aimed at my age group), but it's been fun to check in with the Riverdale cast - I'll have to do this more often!

Grade: B
