Archie #582

In "A Calculated Risk," Archie and Reggie face a shared crisis: failing calculus. With Archie’s car on the line and Reggie’s college future hanging in the balance, the two find themselves on opposite ends of a risky plan—Reggie recruits a local hacker to steal the next test answers, and offers them to Archie in a move that could change everything. Written by Angelo DeCesare and brought to life by Stan Goldberg’s art and Bob Smith’s inks, this 2008 issue captures the familiar high school stakes with a twist of digital mischief, all wrapped in a cover by Goldberg and Smith.
