I was stuck in traffic on the bus last night so I read Archie's Christmas Spectacular. It's just classic Archie, boring bits and all, but it was fun to spend some time with these characters. The story set at the North Pole was definitely the highlight. I wasn't familiar with Archie dating Santa's daughter Noelle before.

Comic Book Club published a podcast episode of Alex's recent discussion of the history of Archie Comics. It's not exhaustive, but definitely worth listening to.

Blossoms 666
Blossoms 666 might be the biggest risk the company has taken on the comic page, casting the Blossom twins as an embodiment of evil. The art in the book is fantastic and a perfect match for the dread and intrigue the books is brimming with.

Archie & Friends Travel #1
I read about a new Archie comic back in October that would feature the gang visiting countries including Canada and the Philippines. I picked it up today out of curiosity and was a bit surprised by the contents.
