Archie #11
In "Music Soothes," Archie and Veronica launch a band to rebuild their public image, prompting Betty to form her own act in response. As the Riverdale High talent contest heats up, the rival bands take the stage—leading to a quiet moment backstage where Archie and Betty finally reconnect. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Ryan Jampole, with inks by Thomas Pitilli and colors by Andre Szymanowicz and Jen Vaughn, the issue captures the heart of Riverdale’s teenage music scene. The cover, by Veronica Fish, perfectly frames the moment’s emotional tension.
