  • Life with Archie the Married Life #15
    • Rated 4 stars

    Archie/Veronica storyline: Another Dilton flashback, one in which Fred Mirth also appears. Veronica is in the tabloids again; Reggie looks at the place that will become his garage; Fred Mirth is using Ethel for his own purposes; Ambrose knows Betty from the past; Midge and Jughead are basically done, and Lodge is still up to something.

    Archie/Betty storyline: Archie is really tired from school; he and Betty are getting along fine; Riverdale High is being rebuilt; Moose finds out something strange is going on at the high school (and he doesn't immediately demand to know what is going on which, I think, is a little unrealistic.) Mirth is still up to something; Jughead's new place is under construction; there's a flashback to a conversation Jughead had with Dilton; Midge seems to be slightly sick (pregnant?); Chuck and Nancy get their acts together, and a woman tells Reggie there is a coverup over the disappearance of the plane that Veronica was on.

  • Life with Archie 2010 series #14
    • Rated 4 stars

    Archie/Veronica storyline: Archie is going to Veronica's Halloween party. He meets Ambrose and more clues are given to what is happening. It seems to be that the barriers between alternate realities are breaking down, making this a little like what has been going on in Fringe. Archie and some others are going between realities. This shouldn't be happening.

    Archie/Betty storyline: Another flashback involving Dilton. Archie and Ambrose begin their work on a new clubhouse. Mr. Lodge is falling apart due to Veronica's disappearance. Ambrose seems to know something about what is going on. Archie travels between realities, not knowing that is what he is actually doing.

  • Life with Archie 2010 series #13
    • Rated 4 stars

    Archie/Veronica storyline: This includes a little background on Dilton, Veronica figuring she will be getting a divorce, Reggie and Betty getting closer, Mr. Lodge after whoever is buying up shares of stock in his company, Moose being mayor, Ethel returning to Riverdale, Jughead and Midge still having problems, and Archie running into Fred Mirth who seems to have something to do with Dilton, and Chuck and Nancy still having problems. .

    Archie/Betty storyline: There is some background that ties the past Dilton to present events; Veronica is still missing; the burned out remains of the high school; Archie, Ambroise and a second chowhouse; Fred Mirth up to his tricks; Chuck and Nancy having problems, and then a fascinating development in the parallel-universe concept.

  • Betty's Diary, No. 15, Feb. 1988, " Helping Hands"
    • Rated 4 stars

    The first story has a good moral to it. Betty helps a lot of people and has done so for ages. She finally gets a very nice and very unexpected reward. There are then a couple of one-page stories. The next story highlights how differently men and women consider the experience of shopping. The next story has Betty tutoring Archie but things work out differently than she expected. Then there's a one page Sabrina story. The final story is about Betty trying to figure out a future career.

  • Betty and Veronica (1987 series) #229
    • Rated 4 stars

    The first story is quite interesting in relation to what came later. Betty has a catalog about giving money to help people and wants the group to join in. Veronica won't until her father has a talk with her. This is the 'normal' Mr. Lodge who contrasts incredibly with the outright evil Mr. Lodge in the later series Life with Archie-The Married Life.

    The second story has the two girls taking a tour of a cave. Betty ends up on her own and discovers an entire new cavern. The next story has Betty and Veronica watching a series they loved when they are younger, then being made fun of by the boys. The last story has Betty trying to get a job on the city's newspaper but at the same time not wanting Reggie or Veronica to use their influence to help her get the job.

  • Betty #162
    • Rated 4 stars

    The first story is one that is quite funny, having Betty dress up in winter clothes. Where she ends up is where the punchline comes in. The second story is another one where Betty works herself into a fairy tale. The next story has Betty in tears a lot because she keeps thinking about a sad video she recently watched. The last story is about Betty's dad and her bonding.

  • Betty (1992, 1st series) #163
    • Rated 4 stars

    Betty's t-shirt shows how much she cares for Archie. The first story is about how Betty goes to the library to study. She has been thinking about Archie and that distracts her. The underlying theme to the story is that, when you study, avoid distractions. The second story has Betty starting her day thinking it will be a great day. Lots of things go wrong, though, but, in the end, being with Archie makes the day good again. The next story is about Betty trying to dress nice for school, but things go drastically wrong. The last story has Betty at a part-time job and things don't go well for her there.

  • Betty and Veronica (1987 series) #222
    • Rated 4 stars

    Betty and Veronica get into a major argument over Archie and gifts that they plan to give him. The fairy named Sugar Plum appears to try to sort things out. The next story has the girls planning to go skiing, but Betty is injured. The main reason they are going is to meet cute guys and things work out well for Betty but not so well for the others. The final story shows how little some people can understand their dog's wants.

  • Life With Archie Married Life #12
    • Rated 4 stars

    Archie/Veronica storyline: Mr. Lodge is still working with Dilton and a major mystery is rising. Archie is looking for a job. Lodge lies to Veronica about Archie, and there's a last-minute development in Reggie's trial. In addition, it seems that Veronica and Archie have split for good, again thanks to her evil father.

    Archie/Betty storyline: Archie's students are planning to rebel against him. Reggie is able to get some important information to Veronica. Lodge is still working with his inside guy on the custodian staff and he plans for the entire school to be destroyed. This almost causes some lives. Meanwhile, the plane Veronica was on to go to Paris in, a move her father is forcing her to do, disappears from the radar screens.

    It's very interesting in both storylines how Mr. Lodge has become a totally evil man, one who will stop at nothing to get his way. I hope that somewhere down the line he pay severely for his crimes.

Betty still wants to help the trouble girl in one of her classes, and Reggie and his father are stumbling on another of Lodge's schemes. Jughead quits the franchise business. Nancy and Chuck are having problems, and there are more problems with the schools plumbing.
