Interesting they’re going for a second magazine. Though I imagine the magazines are more attractive to retailers vs. the floppy comics (I’ve seen Life With Archie at drugstores around here, places that don’t even carry the digests.)

One oddity to me: Veronica has top billing overBetty? Can’t recall that on a comic before (other than as a fourth wall breaking gag once). Wonder why the name switch?
