Cheryl Blossom returns to Archie in a big way here in issue 13. Once again this creative team has fashioned a masterclass in comic book creation. This was funny, heartfelt, and incredibly well drawn and paced. This is just plain old good storytelling here, folks. Dr. Josh gives this an" Read Full Review

While seeing our heroes being melancholy isn't very entertaining, Archie #13 approaches the topic in a good way that still leaves readers hopeful things will work out in the end. Cheryl adds a whole new dynamic to the series and gives Veronica something to focus on until she figures out a way to return to Archie. As a bonus, the issue also includes a classic Archie story from 1982, Cheryl and Jason Blossom's first appearance to the series. It's a fun story and Cheryl's personality has evolved since this. You can still tell she's a bit of a troublemaker from her first few panels. Just like she did then, her appearance in this revival series is sure to stir up some trouble -and fun. Read Full Review

The artwork is brought by a new artist this time: welcome Joe Eisma. His style is awesome, and falls in line with other artists on the book previously, so it feels right at home. The character work and body language is on point. It's clear that Joe Eisma knows what works with these characters. Read Full Review

There are very few comic books that have been as consistently great as 'Archie.' Waid and every group of artists have given this classic series a remarkably fun and relatable update that honors its past. Now with the introduction of the conniving Cheryl Blossom, 'Archie' is about to take on a more devilish fun turn. It's can't miss entertainment. Read Full Review

Serving as an interlude of sorts following last issue's big upheavals, Archie #13 also gets a change-up of a different sort, with Joe Eisma joining as the series artist. And boy, was that an excellent pick - Eisma has had a lot of practice drawing teenage characters over in Morning Glories, and there's a surprising amount of heart to his angular style, particularly during a scene where Archie struggles to live a life without Veronica in it.

Waid continues his insanely entertaining remake of Archie with this issue. I was wondering when supporting characters would come into play, and I'm stoked that they finally are. Riverdale is about to get a lot more interesting, so make sure to stick around and see what happens! Read Full Review

Another month, another hit for this Archie team. Read Full Review

Sparing use of splashy layouts helps to drive home emotion for readers who thrive off the great visual cues of comics. For fans who have been continuing to enjoy this series, this issue will move them along. However, for those who need more or fuller characterization, trade waiting might bring hope down the line.

The art is a little better than the last two issues, but the writing is worse. I'm about ready
to give up on this title...I see from the comichron charts that I'm not the only one. In just
a little over a year, sales on this title have gone from 101,488 to 14,341...Archie Comics needs to take a new approach to this book and to all their comics in general.
