While Sabrina struggles to break free from her trollish prison, the impostor wreaks havoc at her school, turning heads—including the school bully’s—under his new guise. Written by Mike Gallagher and illustrated by Dave Manak, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Vickie Williams, this Double Digest tale blends magical mischief with high school drama. The cover, by Tim and Pat Kennedy with inks by Mike DeCarlo, captures the clash of worlds in bold, playful style.
In "She's Got Class!", Veronica sets out to prove she’s just as valuable as Betty by leading a after-school class on the art of charming boys—only to discover that teaching isn’t quite the same as doing. With her usual flair and a dash of mischief, she turns the classroom into a whirlwind of confidence, charisma, and unexpected lessons.
In "Spring Break," Betty, Veronica, and Jughead lament the relentless spring winds, tossing around playful phrases to describe the gusts—until suddenly, the breeze sends Veronica tumbling into a surprisingly handsome stranger.
In "Culture Caper," Alexandra puts the gang to the test with a barrage of obscure trivia, but when she singles out Alan with a surprisingly simple question, he scores a surprising victory—winning a prize that leaves everyone intrigued: a date with her.
In "Melody for President," Melody takes on Alexandra in a classroom election that’s as much about charm as it is about policy. With her upbeat energy and genuine connection to her peers, Melody quietly turns the race into something neither she nor Alexandra expected.
In "Twirl Whirl," Veronica hones her baton twirling skills with fierce determination, aiming for a spot on the drill team—though her father and the mansion may not survive the chaos of her practice runs.
In "Troll Collector," Rotunda the Troll swaps places with Sabrina, fleeing juvenile detention in the Nether Realm to take over her life on Earth. Disguised as a foreign exchange student named Tunda, he stirs up chaos at Sabrina’s school while she struggles to escape her own prison, all as the school bully begins to take an unexpected interest in the new kid.
In "Future Shock," Veronica takes Miss Grundy’s class assignment to envision the future seriously, filming a dramatic solo project at her father’s aerospace manufacturing plant, where she imagines herself as an astronaut. The story captures her bold, creative take on what lies ahead, blending personal ambition with the quiet wonder of possibility.
In "The Last Word on Fashion!", Veronica can't stand the outdated style tips in Betty's school paper fashion column, and she's not shy about letting her know. As she pushes her own ideas, the two friends find themselves at odds over what fashion really means—right in the middle of a rivalry that's as sharp as a new pair of scissors.
When the boys ditch their girlfriends to watch sports, Jo and Betty seize the moment for some much-needed girl time—turning a missed date into a night of laughter, friendship, and unexpected adventures.
When a sudden downpour and a fallen tree cut off their route to a high-stakes fashion show, Archie, Ginger, Betty, and Veronica find themselves stranded in the countryside—far from the runway and with no clear way to make it on time. As the group grapples with the delay, they discover the event they were rushing to isn’t even happening for another month.
Cheryl, a devoted fan, sets out to make a documentary about her favorite band, the Sugar Girls, only to be shut out when they refuse her return. In a playful act of rebellion, she turns the camera on them, filling her film with hilariously awkward moments from their past.
Betty’s nervous about auditioning for the punk band The Head Cleaners, unsure her cello can fit their raw sound—until she discovers the lead singer once played the same instrument. A surprising connection sparks as she steps into the spotlight, bridging her quiet passion with the band’s electric energy.
