Some thoughts about Archie #13

Who is the most dangerous girl in Archie's world?

Veronica and Archie have been separated and both are equally suffering but things are going to become even worse once that Cheryl Blossom appears.

As usual, this is one of the most lighthearted and charming stories around.

Mark Waid arrives with a new chapter where he plays with the ramifications of the last one with Archie and Veronica being separated thanks to her father. While this issue in particular focuses on both of them, along with a few other characters, the plot is mostly devoted to Veronica and how she tries to adapt to her new life without her boyfriend.

Of course, this issue is also about the reintroduction of a classic Archie character in the form of Cheryl Blossom who contrasts perfectly with Veronica and shows how, despite of what people might think at first, the latter actually has a great heart and the former is a complete manipulative monster who is not afraid of destroying others as long as she gets what she wants. Is good to have things in perspective.

Joe Eisma handles the artwork and it follows the same style that has been introduced since issue 1 of this series with a pretty clean tone and expressive characters. Is good to know that despite of the multiple artists who have worked on this series, the tone has been maintained.

Immensily entertaining once again. Always happy to have this book in my pulllist.
