There is a time and place to whinge about not feeling appreciated by anyone.
When you and your friends are not being systematically hunted down and violently murdered, for example.
Seriously, Dillon. Priorities.

[cainofdreaming]

If my lifelong fancy of horror movies has taught me anything that is the time to whine about, well, pretty much anything.

If you don't mind getting your insides over your outsides, that is.

Actually, that would strike me as the perfect time.

If I theorise I'm not going to make it until sunrise, I'll take the chance to unload quite a lot of emotional baggage.

[beyondthefringe]

The FUCK.
I... whoever greenlit this was on the good drugs.

Dilton whining about being "the good guy" before climbing into Iron Archie and getting his head and spine ripped off....

On top of everything else. Good grief.

I'd love to see Betty and Veronica be the final girls who win in the end tbh....

Betty makes the same crying face. Can you imagine if Punisher got involved too?

[scorntx]

At this rate, that's probably gonna be what happens.
Archie dies, leaving Betty and 'Ronnie free to be with each other.
AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

Oh no. The actual ending is much worse than that. Much, much worse.

[thehood]

Not really, it was pretty hilarious.

[cricharddavies]

Yes, because women being portrayed as heartless bitches who only care about appearances is just utterly laugh inducing. Misogyny is so funny.

[thehood]

Except that's not what happened at all? Veronica encouraged Betty to save herself, even telling her how much she admired her.

How was she portrayed as a "heartless bitch" exactly?

[cricharddavies]

... they're portrayed as being satisfied with the Predator as a boyfriend as long as it looks like Archie. No mourning for the dead, no regret, they're happy as long as they've got a boyfriend who LOOKS like their dead one.

That's misogyny on the author's part, and you are pathetic for pretending that you don't know what I'm talking about.

Mod Note!

A fundamentally sexist term like "Bitch" is not acceptable on scans_daily.

The English language has many, more creative, non-misogynistic descriptors for characters you don't like, we encourage you to use them.

Look on it as a fun challenge!

[thehood]

....Veronica does say she thinks Betty is the prettiest girl she knows in the next issue. ..

[kamino_neko]

Everything's Archie, Dilt?

Archie's here...Betty's here, Veronica, too...Preddie's here...Hey, Jughead, where...er...forget I asked.

On another note...who drew that cover? I can't read the signature, but the style screams of Giz to me.

[thehood]

It's Giz!

[kamino_neko]

Awesome.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Jughead's got his head in the snack machine, as usual.

[zechs80]

He was always ahead in life when it came enjoying junk foods.

The parody's facile and the wit's pandering, but the art is on point.
