☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first six issues of the 2017 Betty & Veronica series, reimagining Archie Comics' iconic best friends with a modern twist. Written by Adam Hughes with art by various creators, the stories explore Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge's friendship, rivalries, and adventures in Riverdale, blending classic charm with contemporary sensibilities.
In "Why Can't We Be Friends?", the rivalry between Jughead and Reggie takes a wildly unexpected turn when Reggie unexpectedly wins a video game tournament, claiming the title of King for a Day. The prize sparks a chain reaction as Jughead, stunned and determined to reclaim his crown, challenges Reggie to rematch after rematch—each victory pushing the stakes higher, until the ultimate prize becomes King for a Month. Written by Ryan North and illustrated by Derek Charm, with letters by Jack Morelli, the cover by Adam Hughes captures the escalating tension with a touch of classic Archie charm.
In "null," Jo and her friends dive into a high-stakes video game showdown where Reggie’s unexpected victory kicks off a chain of escalating bets—first King for a Day, then King for a Week, and now, with Jughead utterly obsessed, a full month of rule. The game’s simple premise spirals into something far more absurd, testing friendships and egos in ways no one saw coming.
