“The Race to Save Face!”

Eternal high school student and teenage boy, Archie Andrews, and his friends made their debut in M.L.J. Magazines' Pep Comics #22 (cover dated: December 1941), and before long, Archie was the publisher's headliner character.  In 1946, the company changed its named to Archie Comic Publications, also known as “Archie Comics.”

Archie Comics published the series, Archie & Friends, from 1992 to 2012 for 159 issues.  Since 2019, Archie has been publishing a new iteration of Archie & Friends as a series of themed one-shot comic books.  The latest is Archie & Friends Hot Rod Racing No.1, the seventeenth issue in the series.  It features one new five-page story and four reprint stories.  Entitled “The Race to Save Face!,” the new story introduces new character, “Daisy Thunder.”  It is written by Craig Boldman; drawn by Steve Butler (pencils) and Jim Amash (inks); colored by Glenn Whitmore; and lettered by the great Jack Morelli.

“The Race to Save Face!”:
There is a charity drag race in Riverdale, and Archie thinks his souped-up jalopy can win, even with Reggie and Jughead riding shotgun.  Much to his shock and chagrin, he has a real challenger.  Meet Daisy Thunder of the Southside Serpents.  Now, it's a race through the streets of Riverdale, and with the rest of the field dwindling away, it's down to Archie and Daisy.  Guest-starring superheroes (Shield) and infamous locales in and around Riverdale (the Igor Estates).

THE LOWDOWN:   Over the last few years, Archie's marketing department has been sending PDF copies of some of their titles for review.  One of the most recent is Archie & Friends Hot Rod Racing No. 1, (which is titled Archie & Friends, No. 1 (#17), in the indicia).

Although, “The Race to Save Face!” is only five-pages long, I can't help but like it.  The character and locale cameos really serve to sell the notion that this story is filled with spirit of Riverdale.  I don't know if Daisy Thunder will amount to much of a new character, but the classic Archie Comics characters and settings will shine on.  And that's the best part of “The Race to Save Face!”

I grew up on classic-style Archie Comics.  Thus, I will always recommend such Archie titles, so I am giving Archie & Friends Hot Rod Racing a hearty recommendation.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of classic-style Archie Comics will want to find a copy of Archie & Friends Hot Rod Racing No. 1.

Comics Review: "THE MADNESS #6" Offers a Very Satisfying Conclusion

THE MADNESS #6 (OF 6)
AWA STUDIOS

STORY: J. Michael Straczynski
PENCILS: ACO
INKS: David Lorenzo
COLORS: Marcelo Maiolo
LETTERS: Sal Cipriano
COVER: ACO
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: David Aja; Chris Ferguson
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (January 2024)

Rated: “Mature”

The Madness is a six-issue miniseries from AWA Studios.  It is written by J. Michael Straczynski; drawn by ACO (pencils) and David Lorenzo (inks); colored by Marcelo Maiolo; and lettered by Sal Cipriano.  The series follows a woman who uses her super-powers as a thief and her quest for revenge against a group of superheroes.

The Madness introduces Sarah Ross a.k.a. “The Raven.”  She has super-powers:  flight, super speed, super strength, and invulnerability, but she can only use one at a time.  Sarah has been using her powers as a thief, stealing from the rich and giving it to herself.  She plans one more big score so that she can retire to a life of luxury.  However, she steals from the “wrong person” and that leads to brutal consequences that will drive her to revenge... and to ultimate madness.

The Madness #6 opens as Sarah frees her recent prize – one from the Djinn – the dragon Ignatius.  Next, Sarah and the Raven have another conversation.  Will she stay or will she go?

Now, it's time for the final battle.  Just two names remain on The Madness' hit list.  They are Darius, the leader of the Council of Justice, who ordered the dropping of the bomb on Sarah and her family.  The second is Captain Micron, the one who dropped the bomb.  In order to complete her revenge, however, Sarah may have to destroy herself along with her targets.

THE LOWDOWN:  AWA Studios marketing began providing me with PDF review copies of their comic book publications since April 2023.  The Madness #6 is one of the recent acquisitions.

With this sixth issue, writer J. Michael Straczynski presents a final chapter that is as intense as all the previous chapters.  The Madness mixes the craziness of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen with the exhilaration of Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch's The Authority.  At this end, Straczynski presents a final chapter that is complicated, but that also offers a satisfactory conclusion working on themes of dedication, loyalty, and love.

Artist ACO closes out his daring storytelling with intensity and verve.  The conflict is close and personal, and the heroine certainly seems imperiled.  He also sells us on an ending that offers continuation.  Marcelo Maiolo's colors are more like cinematography than ever, and I'm sure they look good in the recently released trade paperback collection of this series.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans looking for excellence in superhero comic books will want to try The Madness.
