Pep Comics Free Comic Book Day Edition

Still working my way through the FCBD stack. This is a 2011 freebie.

Title: Pep Comics
Date: May, 2011
Publisher: Archie Comics
Writer: Dan Parent
Penciler: Dan Parent
Inker: Jim Amash
Letterer: Patrick Owsley
Colorist: Digikore Studios
Editor: Victor Gorelick

Following an afternoon of reminiscing about the rival clubs they had as kids, Betty and Veronica decide it's time to form a new Archie Club to help out latchkey kids around town who need some good after-school activities. But a Jughead prank soon has Veronica setting up a club of her own in the Lodge Rec Room.

Now that they're older, can the gang avoid the rivalries that split up their clubs when they were kids? And can they get past those rivalries for the sake of helping out the younger generation?

While nothing particularly shocking or unexpected goes on here, this story is logical, good-natured, and satisfying.

Rating: 7/10
