Oldiesmann: Interesting to see they're bring Wilbur Wilkin back from the dead again. I remember them making a big deal of it when they suddenly decided he was Jughead's cousin years ago - only for him to vanish again, much like Jellybean

Oldiesmann: I miss the days of floppies with there or four new stories each. I'll take that over digests any day

Tuxedo Mark: How absolutely pathetic. Five items, three of which are entirely reprints. Only two new 5-page stories for the entire month. Only two of the four "main" digests. And the story in the girls' digest features Bingo and Pureheart.

Adam Hughes & Chip Zdarsky & Veronica Fish Stephanie Buscema & Cliff Chiang covers would definitely be the ones I want to get.

True, and they may not feel they can afford to pay that many artists this time around.

You can only pull off something like 22 cover variants once in a great while, and get retailers to go for it. (That's not even counting the additional dozen or so Retailer Exclusive variants).  Most of those dealers couldn't afford to speculate like that on even one title every month, because there's 200 other books every month with variant covers out there to think about, too.

I don't think I've been to a comic book store that had all 22 variants except maybe the midtown website. Most just had the same 5 variants of Archie #1.

If I would purchase them and not just get the digital one. I'd get the Adam Hughes, Stephanie Buscema, and Cliff Chiang ones.

I'd get all of them except Chip's.

What, I love Chip's.
What I mostly do not like about Chip's cover is Betty's face and especially smile. It is just not right. Veronica Fish cover on the motorcycle has a lot of color which is cool, but Betty's face is awkward and kind of resembles a vampire to me. The Francesco cover is way to plain and Betty and Veronica look like they are about to kill each other with those scowls on their faces.

It just looks like I've seen it too many times before. Leaning against a brick wall has been used on many album covers and movie posters. Also he doesn't draw the girls the prettiest.

Veronica kind of resembles the MTV cartoon Daria.

Screw Archie!  I'd be all for a lesbian relationship between Veronica and Betty! :D

Cliff has the most interesting one, and they look their age. Plus, I like the Archie outline. A few Fall leaves would've been nice in the hair area on the ground.

I just wish there was more covers to choose from. What about Gisele & Thomas Pitilli & Fiona Staples & Faith Erin Hicks & Babbs Tarr & Erica Henderson. I hope we can see covers from them for issue #2.

You can count me out. They won't ask. All the others on the list, though, yeah, pretty sure you'll see them.

But you draw an awesome Betty & Veronica.  They look great on the Archie Meets The Ramones cover.

Thanks, BettyReggie, but that's not how it works I'm afraid. ;)

So you must be the real Gisele. The Archie Meets The Ramones cover is one of my favorites. Actually I just really like the way you draw the Archie characters in general.
