Archie Comics 85th Anniversary Presents: Archie’s Movie Mania #1
Archie; $4.99
This issue starts off with the Brain Emperor causing chaos at the zoo, and when the SuperTeens are overwhelmed, the Power Pets step in to help. Veronica and Ginger Lopez compete to become interns at a fashion magazine, then a late night alien horror movie sparks the imagination of Veronica's cousin, Mimsy. The Blossom siblings have their own "star battle," Jughead gives advice on having good dreams, and then he has a major wardrobe malfunction.
The movie inspired one-shot presents new and previously published stories by Jamie L. Rotante, Holly G!, Frank Doyle, and Craig Boldman. The superhero story opens the issue with good energy, then The Devil Wears Prada homage tale gives it quick wit. The stories that follow incorporate movie tropes and pokes a little fun at fandoms before wrapping up with slapstick humor.
Archie's theme issues are always fun reads in which the creators go all-in on writing and illustrating those themes.
