Archie 14 is another winner. Rarely have I seen a comic series that has consistently operated on such an exceptional level in terms of writing and art. This is damn good comics here, people, and if you haven't jumped on the Archie train yet, you better get a move on before you're left behind. Dr. Josh gives this an". Read Full Review

If you're a fan of typical Archie material, then this issue will hit a sweet note with you. It's melodramatic, moody, and excellent. The story is simple and smooth from start to finish, and it doesn't sacrifice effectiveness in terms of the script. Read Full Review

We've talked time and again of Mark Waid's ability to pair the humorous with the heartfelt, but what else is there to discuss when it's consistently done so well? Issue #14 is a perfect showcase of that balance. Read Full Review

Any Archie fan is going to love this issue. Mark Waid has been doing an amazing job with the new Archie series, despite having to work alongside so many different artists. The storyline is linear, smooth, and understandable. Not only is his writing style easily readable, but it's fun and entertaining, too. There are jokes thrown around here and there, and it really fits not only the signature laughs that Archie always has, but Waid's script as well. This is an issue that flips Archie's world upside down, so you don't want to miss it! Read Full Review

I'm not digging this new artist at all. It just looks haphazard. The story though is grand and the feud of Blossom and Lodge is great.

I finally give up on this series. Too much inexplicable characterization, too little focus, too many artist changes (the current one isn't very good), and there is something about the way it treats its female characters that I just don't like. They probably brought in Waid's female co-writer for some balance, but too late. Sorry.
