Civil Chore Strike Update

As the "Civil Chore" expands through Riverdale, Riverdale High student Chuck Clayton comments "It's like all of Riverdale has been divided by this Crisis!"

From most recognizable kids in the Riverdale High student body to the lesser know students everyone is choosing sides. Look at this aerial photo of the streets of Riverdale taken directly from page two of Tales From Riverdale Digest #24 and you will see virtually every teen in Riverdale. Can you identity all of them?

Of course, the “nays” all have ulterior motives of their own. Now the mysterious figure who claimed they could stop the fighting will be revealed… but will Archie and Jughead’s friendship be forever affected? It’s another issue chock-full of guest-stars from Archie Comics’ past and present, and you can’t afford to miss it! SCRIPT AND ART: Fernando Ruiz.
