Comments: “Medusa Gone Wild.” Agent V and Agent B have caught Mad Doctor Doom. The real threat here, though, is his daughter, Medusa Doom. These spy girls have toned down the evils to deal with. The girls look good in tight black outfits, yet it is Medusa Doom with her style who jumps out at you. She has beautifully colored hair and the monstrous looks of her father. Holly G! does a fantastic job illustrating this story. She captures Medusa’s charm.
“Where the Action is…” Agent V and Agent B do drive a stylish purple cat. Dilton suppies the girls with a few hi-tech gadgets. These are cool. A blast from the past adds a little something different to this story. Plus a surprise steps in.
“Playthings of Peril” Part One, Its C.R.U.S.H. vs P.O.P. as B.E.T.T.Y. battles the Toymaker and his deadly toys of death. The Toymaker looks the part of an evil villian. His attacks though are not packed with super menace they are more average.
“Playthings of Peril” Part Two, The Toyman is out to get A.R.C.H.I.E. and B.E.T.T.Y. B.E.T.T.Y. is all out action as she works to save A.R.C.H.I.E. Does she get the reward, or does V.E.R.O.N.I.C.A.?
Betty and Veronica do make for cute, fun spies.
