Reviews

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really fun and interesting read!

[Joanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of work went into this one! Totally fun to browse through or read every word! Nice balance between the nostalgic charm of the vintage Archie comics to the main characters’ current transformations into real life Riverdsle tv characters, zombies, tots and preteens, and even married couples. So all Archie fans-past & present-should find this entertaining. The Li’l Jinx pages were da real throwbacks. fun!

[Riana Elizabeth · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was both a case of "too little" and "not enough”. The brief synopsis of each character was too pat for anyone but new readers of the series, which didn't feel like the audience this encyclopedia was targeting. Longtime fans of the series might be interested in some of the more esoteric or long-forgotten characters shown in the book, but for regular (perhaps even avid?) fans, the book got a little 'lost in the weeds'.
