In the third installment of this five-issue miniseries, everyone thinks they know Big Moose. They're wrong. Determined to rid himself of both Moose and Archie, Reggie exploits his new "friendship" with the big guy to learn, "The Secret Life of Moose Mason!" Reggie uncovers surprising truths about Moose's family and his troubled past. He discovers the real reason why Midge is so devoted to Moose. He exposes the big guy's hopes, dreams and fears. Teemed with his beloved dog Vader, Reggie begins to plant the seeds that will eventually lead to Moose and Archie's expulsion from Riverdale High.
Reggie and Me continues to surprise me issue after issue, even though it shouldn't considering the talent involved. Reggi's a hard character to work with because he can change only so much before he's not who he's been for so long. The new Archie books have been doing good things in evolving the characters but they also have such distinct things about them that they're not straying too far from who they are. Reggie's changing, slowly but surely, and I'm curious to see how far it'll go and what kind of person he'll be at the end, if it's a significant enough change to really make him someone new. Defalco and Jarrell are doing some great work here and this is a solid book that I suspect as a collected release will be a very strong one depending on how it all ends. Read Full Review
It's still a serviceable read thanks to Sandy Jarrell's smirk-heavy character play, but without a clear voice it doesn't amount to much more. Read Full Review
This series is much better than i expected it to be. The first isue was disappointing but it's getting better and better.
I really like this book. But I really do hope Reggie does his plan that he sets out to do and does it well. Sometimes, a bad guy is just a bad guy.
The good news is, the art is still nice. The bad news is, the story gets even more boring. This series' sales are pretty bad, and I can see why.
