Betty and Veronica #252

Betty and Veronica's rivalry takes a very 2011 turn in this issue, with the cover by Dan Parent showing the two Riverdale rivals pointing fingers at each other in a heated social-media friend-count showdown — Betty boasting she's out-friended Ron, while Veronica fires back that she can never be "out-friended." The bright, energetic design perfectly captures the playful competitiveness that has always defined their friendship, updated here for the age of online social networks.
