My only real complaint is that Mark Waid seems to be really pro-Betty and c'mon man, at least give Team Ronnie a fair shake. Read Full Review

Archie #11 was a fun respite from the tension of Hiram Lodge's mayoral campaign, which will only appear to reach new heights in coming issues. Tack on Ronnie and Sayid's jealous streaks and well" no one ever claimed life with Archie was ever going to be without some drama. Read Full Review

This is a great issue that definitely mixes things up in the series. I'm not going to lie; I hope Archie and Betty get back together. At the very least, they deserve the chance to be friends (or at least not be so awkward around each other). I'm excited to see what happens next"and who the heck won the talent show?!

It's still far and away a good comic, just not quite so good as what we've come to expect. Read Full Review

After reading ten issues of this revival series, Archie #11 is the first one to disappoint me. The story is good and important for the continuity but I feel it could have been told better and the art isn't bad but I do think the facial inconsistencies are. The throwback story is from 1968 and about the Archies, though only consisting of Archie, Jughead and Reggie. It's a fun story, the band is clearly not ready for the stage yet and is missing some key players but does show that music has been important to these characters for a while. I felt this issue was a weaker entry but if you're in the series deep it's worth the read but feels a bit skippable compared to other issues. Read Full Review

'Archie' has become one of the best comics available. It's a testament to some of Waid's best work in years. So the bar has been set pretty high in only eleven issues. The fact that issue eleven isn't as good as we've become accustomed to is normal and probably a little unfair. We expect more but it's still a pretty good read despite the simple resolutions and shallow plot. And now we have to get used to new artists yet again. We're probably being picky because 'Archie' is still worth waiting for every month. Read Full Review

The art gets worse. Only two issues to go in my subscription and that'll be it for me unless Archie finds a half decent artist.
