What can't you like if you are a fan of both classic Archie and Batman 66? Brings you back to the good 'ol days of reading Archie, and watching a favorite after school show. Now we have the pleasure of the two sharing a story together!!! Brilliant .. something that probably passed through many fans of both throughout the years, but now with Archie crossovers they are put in official form.

Set in 1966, an Archie/Batman crossover is certainly interesting, but I found the artwork to be a little off in this one. The story has a good hook though, and makes me want to keep reading the series.

So, so silly.

5 stars for remembering Joker's mustache!

[Kristin · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Archie sequences were poorly drawn. Not up to Dan Parent’s usual standards.

This seems like it will be a fun short time series. It meant to be set in ‘66 and it shows through the art and the writing. I hope the rest of the series will be just as fun.
