SUMMARY:

Published by Archie Comics for June 2018, it’s a quartet of glossy five-page reprints spoofing Hollywood movies.  The stories are:

  • Quiet Riot on the Set:” Accompanying Hiram Lodge on his visit to Hollywood’s Global Studios, Betty & Veronica visit The Pirates of Cancun film set.  Veronica inadvertently sets a series of catastrophes, as she tries getting closer to the action.
  • “Movie Mix-Up:” Double-booked for Friday night movie dates, the girls scheme to two-time their dates and an unsuspecting Archie. 
  • “Extra Disastrous:” Landing gigs as extras for a big-budget disaster film filming in Riverdale, the girls bungle their way into a less-than-stellar movie cameo.  
  • “An Unliving Doll:” Spoofing Child’s Play, Veronica & Betty are alone at Lodge Mansion on a dark and stormy night.  Veronica’s imagination suggests that her childhood doll, ‘Ms. Peevy,’ is on the loose stalking them. 

REVIEW:

For Betty & Veronica fans, it’s a super-fast read.  With its timeless look, Dan Parent’s vibrant artwork is wonderful.  Still, at a skimpy twenty pages, more stories would have been appreciated.
