Somewhere on Twitter but I do not know if it's true!

I will eventually read it on digital, but I won't purchase a copy of any of them.

Just as I did with the rebooted ARCHIE and JUGHEAD, I will borrow a copy just to satisfy my curiosity. If that were not an option for me, I would just pass on it entirely, without a bit of remorse. I don't feel like the reboot is something I can cast a financial vote for, in principle. I expect it to fail, if not immediately, then eventually. I want it to fail, and as quickly as possible. If the reboot merely represented an attempt to diversify Archie as a product, I'd feel differently, but since it seems absolutely clear that it's not meant as a mere additional option, but as an intended replacement for traditional-style Archie, I'm forced to view this as an "us vs. them" situation. If the inevitable end result of that is no new stories, then I guess I'll have to settle for reprints (or possibly... back issues). On the other hand, any new material they're going to produce in the traditional style is something I will support and cast my financial vote for. I am putting my money where my mouth is, and sending ACP a clear message in the only way that's going to count, in the pocketbook.

Brutal honesty is my policy. The rebooted titles are not an acceptable substitute for the product that I REALLY want to buy from ACP; not even "better than nothing".

But you got to admit B & V look gorgeous. I don't think they ever looked better. I really can't to see how he draws Archie & Reggie. I can't wait.

There's no question that Adam Hughes isn't going to be lacking for work opportunities in the comics industry. He'll have no problems paying his bills. Unfortunately, what it amounts to is he (and all the reboot artists) are taking work away from Fernando Ruiz, the Kennedy brothers, Jeff Shultz, Bill Galvan, and all the other artists who spent decades specializing in drawing ACP's characters in the traditional style. I'm not going to support a policy by the company that replaces the opportunity for those artists to get work, with the company's decision to reward its faithful work-for-hire freelancers by kicking them to the curb in favor of giving the work to artists from outside the company who can easily live without it.

... Plus Betty is never wears 2 ponytails. It's cute though. And I like 11 out the 15 so far.

Betty's hair styles have changed many times over the years — the single ponytail is only a "recent" norm, the double-tail was common in the '60s, as seen in DCR's recent post:

Ugh! Isn't it possible to praise this reboot without insulting the work that has come before?

I certainly think Betty and Veronica have looked better in the hands of Bob Montana, Dan DeCarlo, and my pal, Dan Parent who drew the characters on model and with personality.

Wow, okay this one is really pretty.

Very cool. Betty has a bit of a Selena Gomez face here or maybe Baby Spice and looks younger than Veronica.

Even more covers!

I like the surfing, milkshake, and manga inspired ones.

I like Tom Brancroft & Bilquis Evely & Rian Gonzalas covers. They are all awesome. I can't wait till this because I will have so many new covers for my comic frames. I follow Rian on Twitter & asked her while if should do a cover for Betty & Veronica. I think she said I like to. So I guess here it is.

I love the Tula Lotay one, except Veronica has brown hair!  Who approved that? 

Yes, it's exciting enough to make you forget all about those people losing their jobs, isn't it?

Looks like Betty has brown hair. She looks a bit like Khloe Kardashian here with the lips.

I embarrassed to say I don't get it, and I was raised by the most sarcastic woman I've ever met. 

20 covers now!
