Archie Comics Digest #225
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Hog Wild," Archie’s attempt to steal a quiet moment with Veronica at her house backfires when he introduces Mr. Lodge to a wild new video game—soon, the tycoon’s obsession pulls him away from his usual routines and into Archie’s world. As the game takes over, even Veronica’s new boyfriend gets sucked into the fun, leaving Archie to navigate a group of friends now united by pixels and power-ups. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith, the cover by Goldberg and Smith captures the chaos perfectly.
Archie tries to steal a moment alone with Veronica at her house, but accidentally hooks Mr. Lodge on a video game—only to find himself sidelined as the businessman becomes the new favorite in the group. When Veronica brings home a new boyfriend, Archie’s not even surprised when the guy immediately joins the game night crew.
When Jughead lands a job selling pet food, his love for eating takes a bizarre turn—no matter how hard he tries to focus, his mind keeps drifting to snacks, whether or not there’s food around. Archie hopes this job will keep him busy, but with Jughead’s appetite as his only co-worker, things quickly spiral into something far more chaotic than expected.
When Archie's team starts losing badly in a basketball game, he blames the curse of Jinx Malloy, who's mysteriously hanging out under their basket—so he convinces Jughead to relocate the jinx before things get worse.
Archie’s got a new idea: join the X-Games, convinced the adrenaline rush comes with a built-in fan club of girls. Turns out, the real crowd on the sidelines is all in scrubs.
