[Micah Reese · Rating 5 out of 5]

A more realistic take on Archie while still keeping some of the original humor. I enjoyed the flashback moments and the use of color to emphasize certian elements or characters. I also enjoyed the over al message of family & friendship as more important than money & status.

I remember reading these when I was younger. They are just as good as back then.

[Jean-Pierre Vidrine · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story has been done before in Archie Comics, so I did have higher hopes for this book. Mainly I had hoped for an ending that would actually follow through and bring a small touch of realism to a usually cartoon world.
My disappointment is small, however, compared to the emotional response I have in seeing these characters and their town explored this way. Morgan really knows how to tap into a reader's feelings.
Norm Breyfogle's art here is wonderful and doesn't really look like his usual style.
