Guys,You're not going to believe this but when I read the news about the announcement that Jughead:The Hunger the Archie Horror one shot is about to be a full series and is about to debut on Halloween this year.:http://io9.gizmodo.com/werewolf-jughead-will-return-for-his-own-ongoing-comic-1796810743
I discovered the brand logo that Archie Comic is about to unofficially 'unannounce' that they are going to rebrand Archie Horror as Archie's Madhouse which was named after the surreal science fiction horror comedy anthology series from 1959 to 1982.
And I have proof ,Here is the Archie Horror logo:

and here is the new name for Archie's Horror Brand 'Archie's Madhouse'

What do you think?Do you believe that Archie Horror is about to be rebranded as Archie's Madhouse
I have no idea but since Jughead: The Hunger will be drawn by Pat and Tim Kennedy instead of Hack or Francavilla, it has a decent shot at actually sticking to a regular publishing schedule.
Nope-nope-nope.
Don't believe it for a second.

As long as it isn't written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. That probably has more to do with the 2-issues a year releases of AWA and ChAoS than Hack and Francavilla.

Yeah,so true and it will be drawn realistically unlike what is drawn from Life with Archie the married life Quote from: Captain Jetpack on July 11, 2017, 04:51:44 PMNope-nope-nope.Don't believe it for a second. :tickedoff: :uglystupid2:
Well,If Jughead:The hunger is not a Archie Horror title then it should have been a Black comedy horror series with a different brand under Archie's Madhouse making it a horror comedy series like the series which is named after but since it doesn't mention about.I still think Archie Horror will be renamed as Archie's Madhouse.Quote from: DeCarlo Rules on July 11, 2017, 08:40:40 PMQuote from: Vegan Jughead on July 11, 2017, 02:17:49 PM

Which in other words bimonthly

Bi-monthly is every 2 months, terrence. Not even close. Twice a year is bi-
annually. But that would be if either of those two titles
came out twice a year. Last I checked, it was more like both AWA and ChAoS were coming out ONCE a year. What I really meant was that
together, there are only about 2 issues of Archie Horror titles released every year -- one issue of AWA, and one of ChAoS.

Woah,No kidding! It's really going to take a really long time to wait for another issue or storyarc of the series that it made me wonder if they should have released each storyarc of both Jughead:The hunger,chilling adventures of Sabrina and Afterlife with Archie as Graphic novels since you said it is Bi-annually.
It seems to me that if there is a problem getting out issues of Jughead: The Hunger on a timely basis, then they should not even start publishing it. There should be no excuses, since the writer and artists have proven they can turn out pages on a normal deadline schedule.
If there turns out to be any holdup in putting out regular issues, you'll know that the logjam is a result of "no cash flow".

Hopefully they get a surplus in cash to release new titles, or rebooted ones, such as the actual "Archie's Madhouse", or maybe a new darker "Cosmo" series.
They should just do a Little Archie horror comic, since the original is probably the "classic Archie" title that arguably came closest to that genre in its original incarnation.

Yeah a revival of Madhouse in the 'madhouse' brand (aka Archie Horror) will become a black comedy anthology series and as for Cosmo I can deal with that becoming a black comedy series in a realistic environment but how will they make a funny alien fit to the mature audience with dark humour Quote from: mugpate on July 15, 2017, 10:19:51 AMI like the idea .. just hope titles are regular
Yeah,I hope so too.Quote from: DeCarlo Rules on July 15, 2017, 12:47:27 PM

Um ,I don't think this should happen since it is aimed for younger audience and is considered lighter as shown with its revival few months ago.But if it is revived it will be similar to Goosebumps comics from IDW

Bob Bolling and Dexter Taylor got away with stuff when they were doing LITTLE ARCHIE that would be inconceivable in a comic marketed to young kids today. Some of those stories really WERE pretty horrific, at least by the standards of a "kids comic". Take a look at this cover for LA #37 (mildly altered here by me, but not the actual drawing), which is not TOO far off the kind of stuff EC Comics was publishing a decade earlier:

Yeah,But it was still light hearted though and if this series is part of Archie's madhouse brand then it will a black comedy light hearted kid horror comic similar to goosebumps.

That's assuming a lot of knowledge about the intended slant of a brand imprint that hasn't even published a single comic yet.
Hm, so Afterlife started in 2013 and now it's 2017 and there's only been eleven issues, I think?
I'm going to have to wait and see if this ghost can get out of the grave before I get my own spirits up.
