This was okay; I did really like seeing which Glee and Archive characters were similar, but the story got super repetitive with continuously explaining what happened in the previous comics; like this is not a complicated plot, they didn't need to over-explain.

This is perfectly silly but nonetheless enjoyable. The idea is that the cast of characters in both Archie and Glee exist in alternate universes, and Dilton Doiley somehow creates a wormhole that connects the two. Predictable but amusing hijinks ensue.

This was pretty cute; nothing spectacular. It was nice seeing the Glee kids in comic form and, of course, the Archie gang is always a treat. It didn't WOW me though.

This is a thing that exists, and as such is worth it only for the fact that you can say "Archie Meets Glee" is a thing that exists. But it's written by a Glee writer who doesn't care a fig for Archie, so everything is just typical Glee self indulgence, and no one seems to have realised that songs don't exactly transfer across to the printed page.

It's also a strange idea because instead of doing a straight up crossover, they make it a sci-fi crossing of the worlds. Instead of an organic scenario, you get a completely contrived set up that culminates in "Suddenly Seymour" for some reason - and Aguirre-Sacasa's contempt for all of the characters, not just those of his native show, is laid bare.

But hey: points for trying. Everyone knows Archie continues to be more relevant than Glee ever was.

I mean this was fun, but it wasn’t as good or funny as I thought it was going to be. Also why did they compare Rachel and Veronica together? I didn’t love the style of the glee cast I feel like they didn’t really look like themselves. This was cute, but I’ll never think of it again.

I'm sure this will surprise many people, but I loved Glee. I own the DVD's and yes the show got stupid, but those first 3 years were awesome. I have recently been won over by the Archie verse. I have never thought to compare those two, but they do have similar characters that match up. There is a Jughead Jones and a Mercedes Jones. I never put these things together. I love that part of this comic.

This was totally silly and whimsical. It's pure sugar, like cotton candy as it melts in your mouth. I had a lot of fun with this story. It was worth getting ILL. I'm glad the library had the story. It's really not worth going into the story. It's mostly fan fic.
