New Releases by Al Milgrom

"Zero to Rock Hero," Part Two. The video game battle of the bands from the previous issue rages on, but now the event is broadcast on TV! The Archies and Josie and the Pussycats challenged one another to the hottest new videogame, Legendary Rock Heroes, and now their competition is a reality show sensation, complete with all the trappings. Can the rockers stay true to their creative roots, or will instant success turn them into an assembly line of pre-fab pop?

Special Summer Swimsuit issue! In ''Archie Loves Veronica,'' Ronnie makes a surprise discovery that could affect her finances with Archie. Plus, where''s Jughead? In ''Archie Loves Betty,'' Archie takes a more hard-line approach to his students, but will it work? How will Veronica and Jason Blossom''s relationship, well, blossom?

"Welcome Back to Riverdale": Last issue, the memory of "bad boy" Nick St. Clair was evoked by a lothario lifeguard... and lingered like the crumb of a fish sandwich Jughead left behind! This issue, Nick himself is back for sure... but for how long? The seemingly "new and improved" Nick makes sure to apologize to everyone he wronged in the popular "Bad Boy Trouble" story, but not everyone is convinced that he''s changed... Until he saves Betty from a rough gang of bikers! Will this lead to a brand-new romance for Betty?

"Arch is in the House": Archie''s literally stuck in a doghouse! "Tricky Triumph": Reggie manages to beat Archie in one water sports competition by lending Archie faulty equipment. Then in "Barbecue Blunder," sometimes it''s fun to reminisce about picnics gone by!

"Face Off," "How to Be a Best Friend," and "The Play is the Thing" Who''s more popular, Betty or Veronica? In "Face Off," Veronica turns In-Your-Face-Book into a popularity contest that could cost more than just friendship. Next, in "How to Be a Best Friend," Betty and Veronica explain just what makes their friendship tick. Finally, in "The Play is the Thing," Betty steps up as a lead actress. But when Veronica''s rich lifestyle becomes the inspiration for Betty''s performance, will Veronica be upstaged?

"Little Advice": If you want to know what NOT to do on a date, then Archie''s just the guy you need to talk to! "The Hole Truth!": A trip to Mr. Andrews'' old hometown is a good reminder that his memory isn''t so good!

"Whatever Suits Her": Accidentally swapping bikini tops and bottoms in the store''s dressing room leads Betty & Veronica to start a mismatched bathing suit trend! "A Fair with Flair": The Riverdale street fair has lots of bargains... and shoppers who are "priceless!" "Identity Crisis": Betty and Veronica decide to swap roles, but how long can Veronica "rough it?"
