In "Drama Queen," Veronica channels her inner thespian after being passed over for Juliet in the school’s production of Romeo and Juliet, launching her own modern take on the classic with a twist that’s as bold as her signature style. Written and drawn by Dan Parent, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and colors by Barry Grossman, this 2003 issue captures Veronica’s flair for the dramatic in a story that’s equal parts ambition and high school theater chaos. The cover, also by Dan Parent and Jon D'Agostino, perfectly encapsulates her star turn.

With a modern twist, a cast of willing (and not-so-willing) friends, and a few well-placed schemes, she stages her own version of the play, turning the spotlight fully on herself.
