Archie #654

Archie Andrews finds himself at the center of attention — quite literally — on this cheerful cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith, with the freckle-faced redhead's grinning face framed by a bullseye as a bevy of smiling young women orbit around him. The "Speed Dating" banner up top and the story title "Speed Date-O-Rama" make it clear Archie's romantic juggling act is about to hit a whole new level of chaos. It's a warmly drawn, lighthearted 2014 entry in Riverdale's longest-running series that should delight fans of the classic Archie formula.
