Tuxedo Mark: My review of "Where There's a Wilbur There's a Way!!" from World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #145: https://riverdalereviewed.wordpress.com/2025/01/07/comics-where-theres-a-wilbur-theres-a-way/

Tuxedo Mark: Happy New Year, everyone!

DeCarlo Rules: Holy caw, that is crazy -- but if you have $1000 that you're not doing anything with, you can have a nice instant collection of 89 classic Archie Comics in beautifully-designed collectors' boxes.

Hanna Barbera Montana: Macroverse and Archie are teaming up for a facsimile collection via Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/macroverse/archiecomics

DeCarlo Rules: Geez, now you can't even depend on a TPB compiling all the year's new stories from the digests...  >:(

DeCarlo Rules: Was ARCHIE MODERN CLASSICS: MELODY released as digital-only, and not in TPB as solicited??

DeCarlo Rules: Seriously, considering that ACP doesn't have a huge output of titles to begin with, the number of things they solicit and then cancel, never to be seen, is just ridiculous.

Hanna Barbera Montana: Count the facsimile for ARCHIE'S PAL JUGHEAD #78 as an imaginary comic.

DeCarlo Rules: If it means getting some new Jughead stories in those digests, I'd forgive them for making Archie's name bigger.

This book collection (from the solicited-then-cancelled 6-issue miniseries of 2013) was solicited back in 2014, then cancelled. Amazon is now listing it for preorders again, with a projected publication date of September 5, 2017.

That's awfully far in advance, and Diamond Comics has not listed this as an upcoming release as of yet, so I don't know if I should trust this (for that matter, I don't know if I should trust it even IF/when Diamond does start taking orders for it). Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to have this book to complete my Mighty Comics/Red Circle collection, but 10 months is a looooooooooong way away for a company that really doesn't plan that far ahead. But maybe this is an example of them using some of that investment capital money to use up some of that in-house material that has already been bought and paid for. Presumably they couldn't do that before, because anything that they solicited that would result in a big printer's bill needed to be a product that would return the money laid out for that bill almost immediately, or it wasn't a justifiable use of their limited cash resources. Hopefully we will then get to see a couple of other previously solicited (but then cancelled) things coming down the road after this, like TPBs for the second story arc ("Fox Hunt") of THE FOX, and Tom DeFalco's SAM HILL (released previously as a Digital Exclusive collection), and a TPB collection of Dan Parent's digital-only miniseries LIFE WITH KEVIN.

I wouldn't mind seeing the previously solicited books finally come out.  The downside is that timely interest or momentum of titles like the Crusaders example is lost.
Comics!
