ARCHIE: VOLUME 2

The GraphicAudio cast perfectly renders the world of Archie Comics with a deeper dive into the relationships between Archie and each of his two loves, Betty and Veronica. When Veronica's father, Hiram Lodge, runs for mayor of Riverdale, Archie is drawn further into his orbit. Alejandro Ruiz, who plays Archie's best buddy, Jughead, is particularly good as the character tries discreetly to steer his friend back into the arms of his true love, Betty. The story is brief, the audio equivalent of a comic book. Comic readers will be pleased with the performances of the familiar Riverdale crew. Fans of the CW network show "Riverdale" will also enjoy the less lusty adventures of Archie and friends. M.S.
