Betty and Veronica #247

Prom season hits Riverdale hard in Betty and Veronica #247, where the cover — penciled by Jeff Shultz and inked by Rich Koslowski — captures Betty in a fiery red dress squaring off against a gold-gowned Veronica in front of a sleek stretch limo, while a wide-eyed Archie nervously peeks out from behind it. The speech bubble — "You're going with WHO to the prom?!" — says everything you need to know about the dramatic tension simmering between these two best frenemies. With the story "A Case of Prom-itis" promising all the corsage-and-chaos fun of a big dance night, this 2010 issue delivers classic Archie Comics charm in style.
