Tell me if you think this crazy, Betty & Veronica #2 were going to come on 9/14/16 which I preordered on 5/20/16 from Midtown Comics. I called yesterday to be sure that they were coming out on that date. The lady said they will come out on that day. Ok fine, I just checked the Midtown Comics site again now it says 9/21/16 which is fine because my monthly shipment is be shipped out that day. But on Tfaw it says 10/5/16 and Amazon says 10/12/16 for Betty & Veronica #2. So I think if keep pushing this comic farther away people are lose interest & not buy it if ever does come out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And I'll post a picture on my Twitter of them on my wall.
Now Midtown Comics says Betty & Veronica #2 will come out on 9-28-16.
Another Archie Comic delayed from its originally-solicited shipping date. Welcome to the world of Afterlife With Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina readers, who have gotten used to it by now. Adam Hughes isn't exactly the fastest artist in the world either, so I can't actually say I'm surprised.
Diamond Comics (the most accurate source, since they are the primary distributor) is currently giving it an on-sale date of Oct. 26 (at least until ACP decides to push it back again).
If this keeps happening no one going want the book. Thank God we got the first issue. Adam Hughes art is beautiful. I hope it works out.

This is unfortunately the status of comics nowadays. You need to preorder everything three months in advance, publishers release the comics whenever they want, etc.
This is why I am not buying new comics anymore.

Yes, which pretty much proves BettyReggie's point. Not that anyone can blame you for feeling that way. Comic books have been demoted (at least in North America) from the mass-media status they once enjoyed for the first few decades of their existence. They now have nothing left but a cult audience of enthusiasts, who are expected to go to extraordinary lengths for their love of the medium, tedious as that task may be.
I wonder if we will get #2 before #3 comes out. That could happen. And if he is moving on after 4 issues, who's next to make this comic book?
I would love see Thomas Pitilli or Fiona Staples do it if possible.
