In "Ron Takes a Hit!", Veronica steps into the spotlight—literally—by launching a school paper advice column under the pseudonym "Aunt Sadie," offering heartfelt takes on teenage heartaches. What starts as a clever experiment in empathy takes a personal turn when she discovers one of her anonymous readers is Betty, and the letter is about Archie. Written by Greg Ehrbar and brought to life with warm, expressive art by Dan Parent and inks by Jim Amash, the issue captures a quiet moment of vulnerability beneath Riverdale’s usual chaos. The cover, by Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli, perfectly frames Veronica’s mix of mischief and sincerity.

With her usual spending habits suddenly checked, she’s forced to rethink her approach to money, even as the system itself feels like a test she never signed up for.
