This was OK, but honestly, I expected more with Paul Dini's name on the book. For the most part it's just a ho-hum story stretched out with side quests to make it 6 issues. The characters are all muted to appeal to all ages, even though Harley's still running around in her skimpy short shorts costume.
The best part of the book was the costume party with a few guest appearances.

This is a silly and fun little mini-series (6 comics) where Betty and Veronica end up body swapped with Harley and Ivy. There’s also a swamp to save and some mobsters to handle. As usual Harley and Ivy owe most people in Gotham a lot of money and they want to be paid.
I really enjoyed the main art of this series. And it was done by a FEMALE ARTIST (who is not Amanda Conner)! For those not aware female artists are few and far between. Don’t get my wrong I love Conner (she’s a wonderfully fun lady ...more

First, a thank you to Edelweiss and DC Comics for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I generally love crossovers across all media – having a preference for character-driven stories myself, the interactions between different characters, particularly when it’s their first meeting or they are from different worlds, really intrigue me. I think this story would have landed with me more if I were a huge fan of the Archie Comics – they’re on my TBR, I’m getting there – but b ...more

Harley and Ivy? Doesn't even require thought, I want to read it. With Archie in Riverdale? GIMME GIMME GIMME!
While not the height of literature, who wants Shakespeare when you have Betty, Veronica, Harley and Ivy? Lots of fun and hi-jinks, as well as cameos from other DC favs.
My only quibbles are that sometimes the action isn't quite clear about what is going on. The beginning with the plant doubles and then becoming man-eaters, not clear. Also, how things are resolved re: Veronica's dad not th ...more

This comic was sooooo cute! I don’t know why people have rated it so low. It wasn’t the best written comic book however it was so fun to see the worlds mash up and see the appearances of so many characters from DC. I didn’t know how they were going to incorporate both words but they did such an amazing job! I highly doubt there will be another volume of this because it ended so well but I absolutely enjoyed it.
This was really fun and a little dumb and just what I wanted it to be.
Aight but should have been so much more. 2.5.
World: The art is okay, it's neither the current Archie book or the current Harley book. It's okay, but I found the characters were not distinct enough individually making the art kinda bland. The world building here is solid, the stage is set for the story to play out and the book does pull on both Archie and the DCU for reference, there are bits and pieces of it that made me laugh, it's solid.

Talk about the ultimate crossover. Cute, fun. Two of my favorite comic series and so many of my favorite characters. I loved it.
I'm a bit of a sucker for inter-company crossovers (all right I'm also a sucker for a good company wide event too, especially the old JLA/JSA stories end of digression). This caught my attention in part because of Paul Dini writing it.
The other was if they gave the Archie characters more of a Riverdale feel they could off a decent story. Excluding some goofiness as to the villains introduced for the story the characterization is consistent, and the basis for the crossover isn't too silly.

If you are expecting the gritty drama and teen angst of Riverdale, well, this isn't the book for you. However, if you are looking for over the top hijinks and shenanigans in the vein of Harley Quinn's usual romps, this one IS for you.
This is set in the Archie (and DC) comic universe and while it does sometimes cross the line into just silly, overall it is very entertaining. Hiram Lodge tries to drain a swamp, Ivy finds out about it and she and Harley travel to Riverdale to stop him. Then Zatanna ...more

It has been years since I have read a comic book. When I was younger, I used to read them regularly. This did include the Archie comics. Yet, when I was reading them, the characters were portrayed as more innocent. This version of the Archie comics has the characters portrayed as sexier. However, this storyline has the characters acting like highschoolers including Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. No, I want the bad guys to be "evil" not making me think they are all going to be friends over ice crea

I really enjoyed this! I love crossovers. My favorite part, though, had to be when Poison Ivy called Veronica a "Kardashian-lite." Haha so on point!

This was really not great... Harley and Ivy were fun, and I really LIKED Sabrina and Zatanna!!! But wow... I've never been gladder of a show changing things - Veronica and Betty being rivals is the worst thing, I don't want to see girls fighting each other for stupid reasons!!! Thank you to Riverdale for making these two friends!!! Also super weird that Hiram Lodge is old and white - thank you for Mark Consuelos, Riverdale, thank for all the hot parents!!!!

I was very eager to pick up this graphic novel, based solely on my devout love for the Archie franchise and every single Archie spin-off. Growing up, I regularly read Sabrina comics and collected Betty & Veronica digestst. I can still sing verbatim every song off the early 2000's Josie and the Pussycats movie soundtrack. I've watched every Archies television adaptation and I'm a current Riverdale fanatic.

Another Riverdale/Gotham crossover, this time focused on the former's frienemies and the latter's 'gal pals' (and alas, carefully avoiding any suggestion they might be anything more, a cowardice one would once have attributed to the Archie side of the equation but which nowadays feels very DC). The plot is simple enough - Veronica's dreadful tycoon dad wants to turn a local swamp into a mall, dressing it up with the fig-leaf of a scam 'Lodge University' which will "stress the basics, offering de

The Pros:
- Any story with Harley and Ivy and Betty and Veronica is going to be a hoot.
- Paul Dini knows Harley Quinn like the back of his hand.
- This is definitely a fun mash up for fans of both fandoms, especially if you like the four women involved in the main plot line.
- It's really fun seeing Ivy and Harley having to go back to school when the body switch happens, especially since Ivy is a whiz at botany and Veronica decidedly is NOT. Also, some fun cattiness between Ivy and Cheryl and Ja ...more

It is sooooooo easy to tell that this graphic novel was written by men. While overall I liked the story, it cold have ended sooooooo much earlier than it did. It is very stereotypical in comments on clothes, costumes, etc. I think a female hand could have helped this title 1. Not drag, 2, make it more realistic to girls and women. Harley and Ivy need to get out of town because everyone is out for revenge. They travel to Riverdale to stop a swamp from being paved over for a strip mall/school. The

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review, "Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica"
by Paul Dini; Marc Andreyko. What a really fun crossover event! The story centers around Harley and Ivy running into Betty and Veronica at a party that Hiram Lodge is hosting. After Sabrina and Zatanna cast a spell, a freaky Friday event takes place and Betty and Veronica switch bodies with Harley and Ivy!

Cute and fluffy but it wasn’t the chaos and hilarity I had anticipated, given how different these two titles were. I didn’t need the ridiculously bloody Harley who plowed her way through a horde of zombies, but when you nerf the Gotham duo to fit Riverdale, it takes away from what should’ve been an extremely jarring tale. I don’t even know if we needed all the awkward costume changes, especially if magic was involved.

Originally I was going to give this a 2 because, I really hate to trash anything that Paul Dini is involved in. Then I remembered that he is a CO-author on this, and judging by the total lack of charm and wit that is Dini's stock and trade...he didn't co-author much of it to begin with.
There are places where this book shines, sparks of neat and clever ideas. but it's all brought down by inconsistent writing and just god awful artwork. The pencils are bad enough, at one point Hiram Lodge loses hi ...more

This anthology of the Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica comics was fantastic! I am a fan of both sides of this comic and loved the interplay between the two worlds. I also enjoyed how each of the lead characters adopted some of the characteristics of their counterpart. The story was female power all the way without it losing the charm of being a classic comic. I would love to read more of these girls' story!

This comic had a lot of potential, with almost everything suggesting it could be a great success: great authors, great characters, and part of a real period of innovation for Archie.
Sadly, it's mostly mediocre. Oh, there are a few joyous points that show this comic's potential, such as the costumed superhero party and parts of the story when the protagonists are body-switched. But it's generally a plot on rails that doesn't have enough to keep it amazing. ...more

A fun, lighthearted read but one that felt rushed. They didn't take as much time to explore the life switch as they could have and by the end there seemed to be random things happening in each panel. It was as if they ran out of budget halfway through making it.

Review to follow.
This is a fun romp through the world of Riverdale by two of the Gotham Sirens.
This looked so awesome! I was so excited!
And it’s written by the creator of Harley Quinn!
And Sabrina and Zatanna’s involvement is inspired!
The idea was perfect. The concept was fantastic. The art was great - until you couldn’t figure out what was going on. The execution… *sigh*
Is it just me - or is this comic kind of a mess? I guess Paul Dini didn’t have as much of a hand in it as I hoped. I feel like there’s so much trying to happen in such little space that it’s kinda hard to figure out wh ...more
