Riverdale #4

Thomas Pitilli's cover for this 2019 Archie Comics tie-in to the CW hit series does a fine job capturing the darker tone Riverdale is known for — a composed, looming Archie dominates the image while smaller, battered versions of him appear below, bruised and bloodied as if cycling through punishment. It's a striking, layered composition that hints at the kind of trouble the red-headed teen keeps finding himself in across Season 3. Fans of the show looking for untold stories featuring Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica will find this a satisfying companion to the television drama.
