SUMMARY:

Published by Archie Comics for June 2011, this standard-length issue sports four glossy Archie misadventures.

  • “A Lot of Brass” (7 pages).  Script by Craig Boldman, with art by Pat Kennedy; Al Milgrom; Jack Morelli; & Digikore Studios.  A fellow student musician asks Archie to help him recruit a cornet player for his jazz brass band. 
  • “Elite Treat” (6 pages).  Script by Craig Boldman, with art by Tim Kennedy & Al Milgrom.  Archie & Jughead try conning Veronica’s chef re: a free batch of his tasty French chocolate pastries.
  • “Yours, Mine, & Hours” (6 pages).  Script by Angelo Decesare, with art by Pat Kennedy & Al Milgrom.  A stressed-out Mr. Lodge’s new household time management system runs smoothly, at least until Archie tries helping him out. 
  • “How Low Can You Go?” (6 pages).  Script by Craig Boldman, with art by Pat Kennedy & Al Milgrom.  Borrowing a pair of extra-baggy pants out of his dad’s closet, a dubiously ‘hip’ Archie goes girl-watching with Jughead. 

REVIEW:

It’s standard Archie hijinks. Sporting consistently good artwork, Archie # 620 serves up undemanding yet instantly forgettable kiddie humor.  Of them, “How Low Can You Go?” and “A Lot of Brass” are slightly above-average.  At most, Archie # 620 is a bargain bin pick-up.
