I like fresh takes on old comic/characters but this just felt shallow. the characterization for almost everyone felt so off - specifically Veronica and jughead. the messaging was hypocritical because ethel wasn’t really plus size - I would’ve loved to see a feminist story with a plus size Ethel, but unfortunately this was not the case. They better not make jughead a love interest; he’s aro/ace, and I already disliked how this issue was (not) handling it
