I'll say again that Reggie Mantle has been a world-class jerk in the new Archie books, but anybody who inspires this much love from a little dog can't be all bad. Even if the great Mantle doesn't get to keep his own title after this miniseries, I hope at the very least that he gets to play a larger part in the main "Archie" book, and that Vader gets to come along for the ride.

Reggie and Me continues to be a series that I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying even with the predictability of it, particularly the end piece here to set up the drama for the finale. But what we get from Tom Defalco with the characterization is top notch as it fleshes everyone out in different ways and makes them engaging and interesting characters that you want to know more about. Combined with strong artwork and design from Sandy Jarrell and the color work from Kelly Fitzpatrick that has the right pop and nuance to it, Reggie and Me is simply a charming delight, even if our lead character is a second tier wannabe villain.

With only an issue left to go, writer Tom DeFalco still seems unsure of just what story he wants to tell, and as a result this issue reads as a jumble of rotating characters and flimsy plot devices. Read Full Review

This next issue is gonna make me cry. As an animal lover, the situation that I'm expecting to happen seems kind of offensive.

Spoilers--This time the plot just explodes, in a lame way. All these late, contrived cameos from old ass Archie characters like Little Ambrose and Ginger Snapp, the 'bully' from Central returns (why?), Vader gets hurt because Reggie snaps at him...uncharacteristically, so it feels random. There's much too much Betty; why is she even here? I thought we were supposed to learn more about Midge instead. Plot feels very compressed; you can tell this series was prematurely shortened. The art still holds up, though.
