Betty #189

A smartphone snapshot takes center stage on this cover by Rex W. Lindsey and Rich Koslowski, its screen capturing Betty grinning alongside a new guy named Sayid — while a very unhappy Archie glowers from the background. The setup for Part 5 of "New Kids off the Wall" is written all over their faces, and the clever use of a phone-photo-within-a-cover gives the whole scene a fun, modern energy perfectly suited to 2011. Betty fans will find plenty to enjoy as social drama and small-screen mischief collide in the halls of Riverdale.
