Each issue seemed shorter than normal. And the final issue was a rushed mess, making for a horrible ending. Three stars on the strength of the start. Why not do a full six issues and flesh out a decent ending?

I adored this graphic novel based around the world of Riverdale featuring the beloved characters! It is quite interesting exploring what the characters might have had to deal with if they were around during World War Two. 

It’s a quick and enjoyable read and has some amazing images. It was quite easy to follow and I was able to easily understand the story. I felt like many of the other graphic novels I’ve read that it didn’t live up to the expectations I had hoped of it but I still enjoyed it enough to give it a 3 star rating.

I would highly recommend checking this one out if your a fan of the Riverdale series as this is one of r many graphic novels out there that features the characters from Riverdale.

This is an exceptionally well-done miniseries. It hit it's emotional beats with respect to the time period and subject, but managed to maintain the identity of an Archie comic. My only complaint is that the story felt somewhat rushed; this may have worked better as a two-volume series in order to go a little deeper into this version of Riverdale. Still, a good story and I'm happy to see Archie Comics experimenting with style and tone.

This was a good story, not the best Archie I’ve read but still good and also different which was nice. There were a lot of holes in the story which made things difficult to follow at times.
