maybetitanium's review against another edition

The third installment in the Archie Forever line continues the slow merging of the 2015 reboot and the Riverdale TV universe. While the story and art were strong, there was a constant underlying feeling that the whole volume was just an advertisement for the Katy Keene show.
The previous volume, focused on Sabrina, really worked on integrating Sabrina into the regular Archie gang and provided some great narrative drama. Katy's volume introduces Katy... and then quickly finds a way to remove her.
This volume does a passable job continuing the ongoing threads from the previous one, but really acts more like a detour than a continuation. I'm assuming that the next volume will focus on Josie and the Pussycats, and hopefully that will bring the story back to Riverdale. The whole Reggie plot is missing in this arc, which felt awkward.
I enjoyed the character development in this volume, though. It really does a good job at deepening the personalities of the cast, particularly Archie and Veronica. Overall, a good enough read, but it mostly leaves me hoping the next volume gives me more.

The story is quite straightforward, but the artwork WOW!
On a whole, Nick Spencer's trilogy in this series is a fun read and worth checking out just for the aesthetics alone.

This was hardly an Archie comic, it's was for all intends and purposes a Katy Keene graphic novel and not a very good one at that.

I might have been more open to this had it just been a Katy Keene mini series, but releasing as Archie v.3 sets up different expectations. Though realistically I wouldn't have picked up a Katy Keene mini series so I guess touche. Anyway, boring. I wanted more of Archie & Sabrina.

Rushed, seemed to cut narrative corners and too driven by coincidence. The weakest Archie story since the relaunch.
