FIRST LOOK: B & V Double Digest #189

Archie Comics once again has sent us a preview of an upcoming book. This time it’s Betty & Veronica Double Digest #189. I personally really like the digests. Where else can you get 160 pages worth of comics for $4 nowadays? That being said, the preview here is only the tip of the iceberg. You not only get the two Betty-ccentric stories previewed here, but also a nice dose of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. And certainly Veronica won’t be letting Betty hog the spotlight! You can pick the book up in your shop this coming Wednesday, but if you’re a traditionalist and want to buy it in the supermarket checkout, you’ll have to wait until March 29th. Until then, enjoy!

BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #189
“Sign of the Times” and “Concrete”
In “Sign of the Times” Betty’s friend Carol’s cartoons aren’t too popular in the school paper, but when Betty gets her to draw a sign for her bake sale, Carol may get a second chance at drawing a crowd! Then, in “Concrete,” Betty’s traumatized when she hears her and Archie’s initials in the cement are about to be covered up! What ultimate gesture of his affection can Archie make to re-cement his love for Betty?
