    Another week almost gone, which means another dose of Archie Comics from those fine folk at – well, Archie Comics.  In this installment Major Spoilers brings you a sneak peek of Betty & Veronica #237, Sonic X #36, Betty & Veronica Digest #187, Jughead’s Double Digest #143, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch #96.

    BETTY & VERONICA #237
    “Welcome Back to Riverdale”: Last issue, the memory of “bad boy” Nick St. Clair was evoked by a lothario lifeguard… and lingered like the crumb of a fish sandwich Jughead left behind!  This issue, Nick himself is back for sure… but for how long?  The seemingly “new and improved” Nick makes sure to apologize to everyone he wronged in the popular “Bad Boy Trouble” story, but not everyone is convinced that he’s changed…  Until he saves Betty from a rough gang of bikers!  Will this lead to a brand-new romance for Betty?
    SCRIPT: Mike Pellowski.

    SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH #96
    “Remebrance”: A trip back to the lagoon Sabrina discovered back in issue #90 leaves her and Llandra with flying carpets and masks that transform the wearer into different creatures!  Perhaps this will come in handy for facing the monsters that are terrorizing the Magic Realm.  Something must be done… the monsters are running so rampant that a mandatory curfew has been enacted.  This means bad news for Sabrina, as the nightly Charm School shuts down, and Sabrina isn’t allowed to visit Batty Bartholomew for evening tutoring. She knows she could use her powerful wands to destroy the monsters that are in the realm, but she dares not – especially knowing that using that wand too much will make her evil again.  As if that weren’t enough, the Magic Council has gotten wind of the new Four Blades movement and is posting signs everywhere warning people to be vigilant and urging people to report suspicious behavior… where will this all lead?  It’s adventure and intrigue as only Sabrina can deliver!
    SCRIPT AND ART: Tania del Rio.

    SONIC X #36
    “Pet-astrophe”: If Sonic thinks he has a hard time with Eggman, wait until he sees the trouble Chris’ rival Milan Ramada dishes out!  This spoiled daughter of a rich businessman could give Veronica Lodge a run for her money (literally)!  Determined to win the title of “richest kid in town,” Milan travels in style in a souped-up limo made of special components her father’s company dreamt up.  Eggman promptly steals those components to build a new robot, but still needs a chaos emerald to complete the task.  Lucky for him, first prize in the pet show is chaos emerald-encrusted collar!  Can Bokkun dressed as a cat really win the judges’ hearts in any category other than “worst in show?!”
    SCRIPT: Joe Edkin.
    ART: David Hutchison (pencils) and Terry Austin (inks).
