Archie, Vol. 5

Review: Archie - Volume #5 - Various Authors/Illustrators - May 2018


This particular Archie comic had a more modern feel to it compared to past ones I have read. The book starts with Archie being challenged by Reggie Mantle to a car race - think Grease and then we have our Sandy, I mean Betty Cooper trying to stop the race except Reggie pushes it too far and she ends up pushed off a cliff. Betty lands in a wheelchair with the frightening news that she may not be able to walk again. As Betty is the volunteer queen of Riverdale, the team decides to pick up the slack by helping out. Archie, of course, isn't as agile and quick as he is in the TV show - in fact, in this comic, he is a klutz but still has his big heart and wants to help Betty. Hal Cooper though blames Archie and bans him from seeing Betty. Veronica and Archie's relationship is on the rocks as Veronica starts to notice just how much he loves and cares for Betty. Though Archie has some competition as Dilton Dooley has eyes for Betty too. While Reggie is in jail, he meets a guy with red hair who turns out to be Jason and Cheryl Blossom's biological father - this is probably where Cheryl got her nastiness and bad side from. Also at the end of the book, we see a sneak peek of the band The Archies which contains Veronica, Betty, Archie and Jughead. Our awesome foursome. Even if you aren't a fan of the TV Show Riverdale, you need to read the Archie comics as this is a series everyone needs to get on board with as Archie is the epitome of Classic Graphic novels.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
