I really enjoyed this, I found it really easy to read and I finished it in one sitting, I liked seeing more of the characters and more stories that weren't included in the Tv Show. The different art styles were really cool and I liked seeing how each artist saw the characters.

I think the show is decent and I have watched several episodes. I think what really bothers me about this is that Jughead is one of my favorite characters and I think they don't have his character right. It's sorta there, but not totally. I don't like the brooding Jughead and he isn't poor in the comics. I just don't like what the show did to him.

I did like when Cheryl comes in and calls Jughead 'bughead'. I laughed. Stupid, I know. The show was turned into a 'Twin Peaks' type show and it does fit into that. It's different than the comics and I get that, but it's also not as much fun in my opinion.

They have a few short little episodes in here between the TV shows stories and there is one that is based off the 'Breakfast Club'. That was enjoyable to watch and kinda short. If you enjoy the TV show, then you will enjoy this extra bits of story from the show.

Oh sweet Riverdale! These comic collections are perfect vignettes into the Riverdale universe, and I’ve learned some new facets of the world I never expected to!

Fun collection of Riverdale comics. I like the meta vibe of the comic based on the show based on the original archie comics.
I do Love Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's writing style & I enjoyed the illustrations but the plot was not for me.
Not my fav comic i've read this year, I think the show spoiled the plot lol

Cute companion to the TV show (which I love), but it's not a must-read in my opinion and not as good as the current Archie (2015) comic series.
