This week as part of Archie Comics First Look program, we have a look at ARCHIE & FRIENDS #114 and BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #156.

ARCHIE & FRIENDS #114

FEATURING THE RETURN OF MONEY-SNIFFING CRICKET O’DELL!

“Fortune Telling”: Cricket O’Dell, the girl with the nose for money, is back. A mere sniff and Cricket can tell you exactly how much cash is in your wallet. But this time, the same weakness that impacts her ability – an allergy to nuts – gives her a new power – the powers to see how much a person will have in the future! At first everyone is fascinated as Cricket reveals future prosperity for Riverdale’s most financially challenged, but fascination turns to paranoia when Cricket reveals who will end up penniless! Is credence in Cricket’s predictions “on the money,” or simply a “bad investment?” SCRIPT: Craig Boldman. ART: Stan Goldberg.
