I still have a Riverdale hangover, so here I am trying to finish the new Archie series I've started. I've been reading Archie comics for as long as I can remember and this new reencarnation of his story is definitely refreshing. I also love how they use previous stories and spin it to something more modern, like the #lipstick incident, which was so hilarious.

Also, I did notice though, how much this run reminds me of Riverdale. I hate researching so I'm not sure if Riverdale was based on this run of Archie or something, but there were very slight similarities. Definitely reading more of this now.

If there was one thing I would criticize about this issue, it is the change of the illustrator. I loved Fiona Staples and her art, and I wish they would have stayed with her.

Alas, we get to hear about the lipstick incident

[McAbby · Rating 4 out of 5]

ooooooo so that's what the #lipstickincident is all about haha! I hope to see more of Veronica in the next issues because I really like her! I love her sassiness :) sorry #betchie fans...

I'm not a huge fan of the art. I prefer Fiona Staples' work :/

The art is so beautiful and the #lipstickincident finally revealed! Next issue Reggie vs Veronica? Ummm yes please!

[Elisa ♡ · Rating 3 out of 5]

if you want to read about girls giving a makeover on betty and the reason why betty and archie broke up, well read this.

''spoiler'' the reason is very stupid

[Tony Stark · Rating 5 out of 5]

"i was just trying to keep my promise to her" okay but that broke me

The #LipstickIncident was a big letdown. All this build-up for it to be something amazing awful like Archie cheating or something, then - in reality - it turns out to just be Betty throwing a childish fit and smearing some on his face, because he doesn't like her trying to become someone she really isn't.

Annie Wu is killing it with this art work. #lipstickincident was revealed!

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

We've heard about it for three issues, and in Archie #4, the #LipstickIncident is finally revealed!

La explicación al “lipstick incident” ha sido maravillosa. El cambio de dibujo no me ha ido demasiado pero tampoco está mal.

"Es gracioso. Tú sigues pareciendo el mismo"

A 360 degree transformation, wow!! #lipstickincident

[Sug · Rating 5 out of 5]

First favorite from the series! I'm finally liking the story. The Lipstick Incident reveal was a make or break kind of a deal, and it ended up being perfect. The one page with Archie being the natural klutz that he is, while texting, was adorable. No hatred for Veronica yet, something tells me, she's going to help certain good friends patch things up. Can't wait to read the next issue!

#LipstickIncident is finally revealed and it was NOT what I expected. Ohh poor Betty (and stupid Archie) :( I will forever ship Betty & Archie! #GoAwayVeronica

Can't wait for next issue, Reggie vs. Veronica!!

[Gabrielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay, first of all, what gives with ARCHIE COMICS giving me feelings? Like, dude. What? I wasn't ready to hurt.
Second of all, WE FINALLY KNOW WHAT THE #LIPSTICKINCIDENT IS. Oh. My. God. I have feels.

[Sadia Mansoor · Rating 3 out of 5]

The #LipstickIncident is revealed & I found Betty exaggerating & over in this issue :/
I kinda agree with Archie for the first time here.. This incident is not that big to breakup with somebody... :/

[Priya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Next issue: Reggie vs. Veronica! You just gotta love Reggie :)

[Arjun Rajkumar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just not cutting it.. art etc is good. Outgrown Archie? Still prefer the older ones

[Anomaly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Jughead may be the only intelligent character in this series...

Ah, finally we discover the lipstick incident. What is it that broke up Betty and Archie, who were apparently best friends from childhood and dating for a long time? Betty let some mean girls neg her, force her into a makeover, and treat her like trash then got mad when Archie said he didn't like that she wasn't behaving like herself... after she had already made HIM promise not to change. That's it. That's all. (You'll have to read for yourself to see how lipstick is involved.) Archie did literally nothing wrong, Betty went psycho mode on him, and they broke up.

Can we please get a sane girl for poor Archie? He deserves better than Veronica or Betty either one.

That was #LipstickIncident?

THAT was the #LipstickIncident?! I'm a little disappointed, but overall the story is progressing nicely. I always feel so sorry for Betty--she's constantly getting the short end of the stick. Still, I love how the story is building, the characters and their personalities are intact, and although I preferred the art from the first couple of issues it's still nice. Good read!

#lipstickincident

We finally know what happened!!!

I need to commend the writers again for taking these classic characters and making them relevant in this day and age. The history between Archie and Betty was very believable. And it added a lot of layers to these characters who I have previously viewed as two dimensional.

Let down by graphics

The graphics were a major let down from the last three books. Apart from that, the story continues to enthrall but it was in no way a compensation for the loss of visual charm.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 Stars! ★★★★★
Veronica is a rich socialite who managed to wrap Archie around her carefully manicured finger.
Finally, the story behind Archie and Betty’s breakup is explained and it was nothing of what I expected. ‘Friends’ are the root of all evil when it comes to relationships.

Has to be within Your taste to truly enjoy

I enjoy these comics so far and the retelling of the Archie betty veronica and jughead adventures. They feel short but if you're a fan of the Archie comics and morso the Riverdale show you will like these comjcs

-BETTY, YOU'RE WEIRD. GIRLS AREN'T GEARHEADS.

-EXCUSE ME? GIRLS ARE WHATEVER WE WANT TO BE.

-ABSOLUTELY, OF COURSE, BUT NOT THAT. AND THIS MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE MY DAD'S.


pensé que el #LipstickIncident era más grave, onda armaron un drama por nadaa

[Inna · Rating 3 out of 5]

The art change was really noticeable and irritated me at times. Especially upsetting in the fact that we find out about the #lipstickincident in this one.

It was pretty good

It was pretty good because Archie told us what the #lipstickincedent WAS. SO IT WASN'T A VERY GOOD MORNING AT WORK TODAY SO I DON'T LIKE WORK FOR NOW ON ™
