In "Paths to the Heart," Archie and Reggie’s prank takes a surprising turn when they trick Jughead into believing Sophie’s father runs a bakery—only to find out he actually owns something far more unexpected. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with warm, expressive art by Samm Schwartz, this issue captures the messy, heartfelt chaos of teenage friendship and mistaken assumptions. The cover by Dan Parent perfectly captures the moment’s mix of humor and tension.
