Vader is a cute mini-dacshund belonging to Reggie. It's the only thing that Reggie really cares about or pretends to care about. We get to see the perspective of Reggie from someone who really loves him, maybe too much. Vader can't see Reggie's flaws.
This works so well. I mean it's a brilliant storytelling device. We love the cute dog and he is so loyal and loving toward Reggie. Reggie is the villain of the story and seeing him through Vader's eyes helps to soften the character and I found myself somewhat rooting for Reggie at times, which has never happened.
We see childhood friends Archie, Betty and Reggie before they became frenemies. Reggie is devious and they don't shy away from that, but the ending is so warm and fuzzy and I just love this issue. I hope they will make more of these. We also find out that Reggie, not so secretly, pines for Midge - a character I haven't met or seen yet. She dates Moose and she is a good and decent person. She is nice to Reggie and Reggie is scheming to break them up. I like Midge and want to see more of her.
I am loving these new Archie comics. High enjoyment.

I liked it for the most part, but what made it 3 stars for me was the narration. The whole volume was narrated from the POV of Reggie's dog. WTF? I'm here for Reggie, not his dog.
Ditch the dog in the next volume or I'm out!

I initially didn't plan on reading this one but after a recommendation from a friend, I decided to give it a chance. While I hated the fact that Hot Dog narrated the Betty & Veronica comic, I didn't mind the fact that Reggie's dog, Vader, narrated this series. If you're looking for an unexpected delight, I really recommend this one.
