Archie #20

Tensions are running high in Riverdale as this cover — from writer Mark Waid and artist Pete Woods — puts Archie Andrews and a dark-haired rival face to face in a taut, fists-raised standoff at dusk, with a crowd of onlookers gathered between two parked cars behind them. "Over the Edge Part 1" kicks off what promises to be a grittier chapter for everyone's favorite redhead, and the raw energy Pete Woods brings to both the linework and colors gives this 2017 series a charged, cinematic feel. If you've been following this modern reimagining of Archie Comics, issue #20 looks like exactly the right moment to lean forward in your seat.
