Can't wait to preorder these. Especially the Gisele one. I might even get two copies I love it so much. I haven't seen these listed at TFAW or Midtown yet. Hopefully Gisele will get to illustrate an issue. Jen Bartel one of my all time favorite illustrators/comic artists did so many variant covers of Jem she eventually became the replacement artist for Sophie Campbell. BettyReggie, you should start picking up this series again beginning with Jem #18 which is Jen Bartel's first issue. I think you will really like the art. 

I just realized Marguerite Bennett is the writer for this one. While the art in DC Bombshells is beautiful, I never could follow the many subplots and stopped reading it. I hope the story is more understandable. The other writer Cameron DeOrdio I have never heard of.

I really hope they sell the issues on www.archiecomics.com so I can use my $25 gift cards the ones I still have from Christmas 2015.

Hmmmmmmmmm.....





I wish the innards were gonna look like THIS, though...



BUT if they're not going to let Gisele draw that actual comic book, then how about THIS one...?

I agree I wish Gisele was drawing it, but I think no matter who draws it, it's going to be a smash hit.  It boggles my mind that Archie Comics took this long to do another Josie project.  I think it might be their franchise with the most potential for mass appeal.

Yeah Gisele is obviously heavily inspired by Josie and the Pussycats. I wish she would do a more musical themed comic about a girl band. Do the Magic Chicks form a band?

^^^^^^^^^^  This is Zii's band from MA3.   ^^^^^^^^^

So far there have been no bands in Eerie Cuties or Magick Chicks.

I probably will eventually. If it's not with Zii, it'll be with a new creation more than likely. I won't lie, I would've enjoyed doing interiors on Josie, but it wasn't in the cards. In regards to SuperTeen Betty, I did get to draw her 2 more times in commissions since I did that quick sketch. She's pretty fun to draw.

(The second one is less on model, but it wasn't requested to be, so I took some liberties)

Archie Meets Ramones is not about a girl band but at least it's about music, which I enjoy. I'm also working on another project that has some music in it. It should be announced fairly soon.

This cover is very good!

Funny... if the ARCHIE #1 blank sketch commission hadn't been signed, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was Gisele's. Reminds me a little of an Andrew Pepoy drawing, actually. I like it, but not as much as the 2nd one (never been a fan of the bell-bottomed costume variant for Superteen, I'm afraid).

I love the 2nd one, with Superteen rescuing the cat -- and it's a signature Gisele cat, too -- no problem identifying that one!  "Off-model"?  Well, certainly not compared to... er, all things re-booty. Slighty more detail in the facial features than is traditional for classic Archie style, but I had to look twice to even notice that. It's definitely Betty all the way, as well as being easily identified as Gisele's style. I'd kill to read that as a comic book from ACP.  Instead I just get to read articles where Jon Goldwater pats himself on the back for what a genius he is, and disses everything they published before the reboot. 

I still can't quite believe I'm reading that Ruiz, Gisele, and several of the other current Classic Archie artists are no longer at Archie Comics. It still hasn't really hit me yet...

It's a drag for sure.  I really enjoy the reboots but I hold out hope that a place will be made for more classic stuff in the future.

Man, I don't know. Goldwater was pretty brutal on everything the company published before he got there in 2009 in that article you linked. He practically disowns it, and in the process gives classic Archie creators a backhand slap in the face. Pretty much grabs the lion's share of the credit for KEVIN KELLER for himself in the process, too.
