Moose & Midge: Breakup Blues

Description

It's the third in Archie's dynamic "New Look" series! For years, Archie fans the world over wondered what their favorite Riverdale teens would look like if rendered in a realistic style, and in 2007, Archie Comics answered the question with the ground-breaking, pulse-pounding, media-grabbing story: "Betty & Veronica: Bad Boy Trouble"! The success of that story prompted them to create an entire "New Look" series, continuing with the 2008 hit: "Jughead: The Matchmakers"! Now, in 2009, Archie Comics adds to the series the next exciting installment, reprinting the entirety of "Moose & Midge: Breakup Blues" from "Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest" numbered 125-128. When Midge decides to go on a date with Reggie Mantle behind Moose's back, the relationship dissolves before their friends' very eyes! Can Betty, Archie, and Veronica help the two former lovebirds see the light and rekindle the flame between them? You'll never guess who comes to the rescue in this captivating story, masterfully penciled in the realistic style by Tod Smith. Let's just hope Riverdale can survive the epic rift!
