Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #165

The finale of "And the Winner Is…" arrives in Betty & Veronica Double Digest #165, and the cover — drawn and inked by Dan Parent — makes the suspense deliciously clear: a radiant, blushing Cheryl Blossom is swept up in a romantic embrace, hearts floating around her, while Betty and a dark-haired companion look on with knowing smiles and a speech bubble cheering, "Good choice, readers!" It's a warm, playful payoff to a five-part story that put the decision right in fans' hands, and the banner promising Cheryl's new boyfriend only sweetens the anticipation. A charming package of Riverdale fun that's hard to resist.
