Betty and Veronica #236

A sunny beach day turns into a friendly rivalry in Betty and Veronica #236, as Veronica — lounging in a red swimsuit — brags about a handsome lifeguard eyeing her, while Betty fires back that someone is already I.M.-ing her on her laptop. The cover, penciled by Jeff Shultz and inked by Al Milgrom, captures that signature mix of breezy humor and good-natured one-upmanship that makes this series so endearing, with a smitten, heart-eyed lifeguard standing obliviously in the background. The story teased on the cover, "Past Problem," promises to reveal just who this mystery man from Betty and Veronica's past really is — a perfect hook for fans of Riverdale's most entertaining friendship.
