QuoteIndustry sources tell me that regular Archie artist Veronica Fish is no longer the artist on the ongoing title written by Mark Waid.
She will still create covers and similar illustrations for Archie Comics but will no longer be the title's penciller after Archie #10, out on July 27th
More info here:

QuoteSo for Archie #11 and #12 the next two issues, frequent Archie variant cover artist Thomas Pitilli will step in to join Waid, with help on breakdowns from Ryan Jampole.
The art looks to be very much in the "New Riverdale" style, and should hold the fort for a bit. See examples from Pitilli and Jampole below that Bleeding Cool has stumbled across.

Fish is hopping back over to Marvel for Spider-Woman. No telling how long that'll last though. Glad she found work quickly though.
I can't wait for Thomas's issues. He is an awesome artist.
Bummer! I love Veronica Fish's work on Archie, and she's leaving right before Cheryl comes back, boo.
Gooooofish? ;)
I'm sorry she's leaving, even though I'm not reading the reboot anymore she did a good job, who knows what they'll get next full time.
I wonder if they are planning on rotating artists or are they having trouble keeping people?
I figured Fiona Staples was the "big name" for the initial launch, but I really felt like Veronica Fish was going to have a nice long run.
