Comments: “Rock Candi” features Betty, Jola, and Veronica rocking out as an all-female band. These girls not only look great and are talented, but they also have strong confidence in themselves.
“More Than Meets the Eye: Rise of the Short Kings!” sees Cassie Cloud deliver a meaningful lesson to the other girls. It’s not what a person looks like that matters most, but what’s inside. The art here is gorgeous, and Cassie looks fantastic.
“The Race to Save Face!” has Archie and Daisy competing. Archie is outclassed but handles his loss with grace. Daisy, meanwhile, stands out with her style and confidence.
“Please, Please, Please!” shows the girls as fans of Serena Carpenter, willing to work hard for a chance to meet her. Betty, Veronica, and Jinx put in the effort and earn their reward.
“Retro Beach Bash A Go-Go!!” features Sabrina enjoying a concert in her own unique way, causing a bit of disruption along the way.
It’s great to see these supporting characters from the Archie Universe getting more attention; they deserve the spotlight.
