Darn, I thought this was about Riverdale being cancelled 

They have a deal with Netflix. I don't think it will be cancelled that quickly.

He has a point you know

No one has answered my question tough, I want to know What does that mean? That even if the CW cancels it because of bad ratings, they'll still be making episodes for Netflix? Or just that if it gets cancelled it'll remain on Netflix?

It's not on the American Netflix, only other countries like Australia. Netflix has already invested some money in Riverdale so if it does well overseas they are likely to continue to produce new episodes if it gets canceled on the CW. They've already done this with other shows. Gilmore Girls and Arrested Development come to mind.

Ah, I see. But Gilmore Girls was just a one time thing, wasn't it?.... I thought Riverdale was on American Netflix.....
Well, that sucks

Here's a list of earlier cancellations I posted on another thread back in October.

ARCHIE NEW RIVERDALE COVER BOOK #1
ARCHIES BIG BOOK TP VOL 01 MAGIC MUSIC & MISCHIEF - (WILL RESOLICIT)
ARCHIES COLORING BOOK #1 - (WILL RESOLICIT)
BETTY & VERONICA NEW RIVERDALE COVER BOOK #1
REGGIES 80 PAGE GIANT COMIC #1
SABRINA #8 CVR A REG HACK - (WILL RESOLICIT)
SABRINA #8 CVR B VAR SOUTHWORTH - (WILL RESOLICIT)

I'm sure I probably missed some since then or posted them elsewhere and forgot where, but it is what it is.

I look forward to the day when I can actually list RIVERDALE here as having been cancelled.
Unlike most of these cancellations, ACP doesn't get to decide that, so I'll just have to wait until the ratings decide its fate.

Not sure how much any of you watch TV ratings, but normal CW ratings are way lower than the other networks.  A .5 in the 18-49 rating is borderline but could be renewable for them.  The same website linked on the original post tracks their own renew/cancel predictions based off a formula that's been fairly accurate. So those really interested can check their site each week (usually on Tuesday they update their renew/cancel posts).

Great. Can't even start a thread related to the actual comics without having that damn TV show take it over like a cancer.

We should just take our comics chat to PM since almost no one reads the actual Archie Comics anymore.

I would submit that a large part of that has to do with ACP tantalizing readers with solicitations for comics that they might publish if they feel like it, and then dashing those hopes by cancelling those same solicitations a month or two later.

Then there's the fact that the ones that actually do get published just aren't that good.

I have to apologize, I put my response in the wrong thread.  I had wanted to put it in the other one talking about the low ratings.

Welcome To The Boards!   


South Dakota?   

North Dakota.


We actually have a Riverdale, North Dakota, but it has only around 200 people, so it doesn't have its own high school. 
Always thought it was neat when I was a kid, though, to see that town on the map.

MAJOR UPDATE:
Trying to get this thread back on the topic of Archie Comic Publications cancellations, I went back through the Diamond PREVIEWSWORLD website, and checked out the archived cancellation reports for every month, going all the way back through 2010. Even this HUGE list of ACP cancellations isn't completely complete, though... I know for a fact of several publications (primarily trade paperbacks and hardcovers) that I did not find on the list anywhere. I'm not entirely sure how to account for that, but I suspect that the reports are generated by accessing a list of cancellation codes for every single product solicited, and I suspect that after a certain amount of time has passed, certain order code numbers for previously-solicited products may be deleted from Diamond's database permanently. I also encountered a few busted links to archived reports from 2010. ALL of the links for archived cancellation reports from 2009 (which is as far back as the archives go) were busted, as well. I may try to trace some of those unpublished but previously-solicited publications later on, by trying to track down the order code numbers. If I do find any of them, I'll edit this list to include them.

First, a little bit about the word "cancelled". To some people, that only means one thing - that a comic book series has permanently suspended publication (that would be Diamond's Cancellation code 09). But to Diamond Comic Distributors, the word "cancelled" means many things. Here's a list of the most common meanings:

Cancellation code   01   Lateness (under Diamond's 30-day Cancellation Policy)   
Cancellation code   02   Will Resolicit   
Cancellation code   03   Cancelled by Diamond   
Cancellation code   04   Cancelled by Publisher   
Cancellation code   05   Out of Stock   
Cancellation code   06   No More Available from Vendor   
Cancellation code   07   Supplier Increments Too High (Diamond did not receive sufficient reorders)   
Cancellation code   08   Resolicited Item   
Cancellation code   09   Series Cancelled   
Cancellation code   10   Vendor Out of Business   

On this list, by far the most common cancellation codes will be 02 (Will Resolicit) and 04 (Cancelled by Publisher). A number of the publications on this list DID eventually wind up being published, but rather than delete those listings, I let them stand as a record of ACP's unreliability when it comes to fulfilling the promise of a shipping date listed on their original solicitation of the product. ALL publishers have these sort of cancellations from time to time, but ACP's record as a publisher is among the worst, and it didn't used to be that way. If you look back to 2010 through 2013, their record was merely average for a publisher -- but it's gotten increasingly worse in the last few years. I've included titles from ALL of ACP's imprints here, and color-coded them in order to make it easier to pick out particular titles.

Imprint key
RED = Archie classic titles
GREEN = New Riverdale titles
MAROON = Riverdale TV series tie-in
BROWN = Archie Horror titles
BLUE = Archie Action/Red Circle titles
BLACK = Dark Circle titles

Looks like 2014 was the beginning of the end and 2015 they really went off the cliff.

Surprisingly to me because I thought I'd been tracking the solicits of TPs pretty obsessively up to this point, I discovered a couple of solicited/then cancelled products the existence (or 'proposed' existence?) of which I was completely unaware --

LITTLE ARCHIE & THE POWER PETS TP ? - A 2-part story from the final issues of Archie & Friends by Fernando Ruiz

LAUGH WITH ARCHIE MMPB ? - (Mass Market PaperBack) This would be the standard-size paperback book you'd find for most novels and story collections. What were the intended contents, I wonder? Possibly stories from issues of LAUGH, or maybe just another type of "Joke Book" with short gags?

Then there are the reasons given for cancellation by the publisher. "Will Resolicit" is no guarantee that that will be true, as I see several listings with that given as the reason for cancellation, that never actually were resolicted -- SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH COMP TP 1962-1971; ARCHIE FUN N GAMES ACTIVITY BOOK VOL 02; NEW CRUSADERS DARK TOMORROW #1, 2, & 3.

Nor does "Cancelled by publisher" guarantee that it will never be resolicited either, as I see several with that given as the reason for cancellation that were later resolicited.

And the special "Better Late Than Never Award" goes to... BEST OF ARCHIE COMICS DLX HC, first solicited in the JULY 2011 PREVIEWS catalog, which finally arrived as a real book... over five years later. It would have been a better book if it has been published as originally solicited, though -- 'cause, you know, none of that New Riverdale ("NOT the Best of Archie") crap taking up space in the back of the book. And not only did it take FIVE years, but let's remember that we're talking about essentially a hardcover reprint of a trade paperback that already existed. REALLY?

Oh, and I guess I forgot to mention this, but the PREVIEWS catalog date/issue # given in the list above is the one that was concurrent at the time the cancellation was reported, not the one in which the product was actually solicited. Maybe I thought that was obvious from the fact that I had cancellations listed under the February 2017 catalog, which actually just came out weeks ago. If you want to know what catalog the product was actually solicited in, just look at the order code #s -- the first three letters are the month, followed by 2 digits indicating the year (the rest of the numbers just follow in sequence according to the order in which the products were listed in any month's catalog), so there can be products solicited from several different months' catalogs among the listed cancellations associated with the current catalog's cancellation reports. Hope that makes sense.

Here's a list of earlier cancellations I posted on another thread back in October.

ARCHIE NEW RIVERDALE COVER BOOK #1
ARCHIES BIG BOOK TP VOL 01 MAGIC MUSIC & MISCHIEF - (WILL RESOLICIT)
ARCHIES COLORING BOOK #1 - (WILL RESOLICIT)
BETTY & VERONICA NEW RIVERDALE COVER BOOK #1
REGGIES 80 PAGE GIANT COMIC #1
SABRINA #8 CVR A REG HACK - (WILL RESOLICIT)
SABRINA #8 CVR B VAR SOUTHWORTH - (WILL RESOLICIT)

I'm sure I probably missed some since then or posted them elsewhere and forgot where, but it is what it is.

Aww I was really looking forward  Reggie's 80 Page Giant comic.
