One thing that the Archie comics have hit out of the park in the past three years is finding artists to fit the series’ new look. And wow, they found a great one in Marguerite Sauvage. I’ve read a few comics over the past few years that contained Sauvage’s art, but this singular issue is probably the best of hers yet! Since there is no colorist listed (or inker for that matter), I’m going to assume that Sauvage did everything herself and man is it ever pretty. Her use of colors, framing, everything really, makes this a really nice book to not only ready, but to look at. I really hope she’s able to keep up this level of quality for her entire run.
