I did want another story in that issue instead of just the backup features, though.

It either didn't have enough issues to develop or had too many. For a #125th issue, it seemed kind of weak. The Sabrina issue I really enjoyed. Didn't think of the abused wife angle, but the bit about honesty - well, that's been almost the theme of Del Rio's entire run, hasn't it? The characters learning to be honest with themselves and honest with others? I'm waiting eagerly for issue #99 to see if my guess about who/what Hemlock is is right. What'd you think of the B&V Spectacular? I enjoyed the "Jingles all the way" story a lot. Must have been in the right mood for it. :) I was disappointed with the “Archie No More” storyline too.
