The interesting thing is Riverdale was originally solicited as a one-shot a couple months ago, and now it's an ongoing series even though the show hasn't aired yet.

irishmoxie

Isn't that India story a digest? Once again more interested in the digest stories especially the Trudeau one.

Sadly no Reggie & Me #5. I hope the last issue has a lot of covers. But I just wish it was going be more than 5 issues.

PTF

Alright! Love the Moose special.

And could Betty & Veronica come out before the next Afterlife be in April? It's the ultimate tortoise vs turtle race reaching it's conclusion!! :)

From what I've been reading, Betty and Veronica have already "come out".  ;D

I'd say "YAY!" for a Sabrina 80-Page Giant, but I'm still not convinced any of those 80-Page Giants will actually see print, since the Reggie 80-Page Giant was already cancelled, and we still haven't seen any of the others previously solicited yet.

Nice to see the return of Agents B & V, though!

But RIVERDALE DIGEST #1 !?!  Oh, please... does that damn show have to taint every format of their publishing line? Ugh. Just seeing all the ads filling up the digests is disgusting enough.

The interesting thing is Riverdale was originally solicited as a one-shot a couple months ago, and now it's an ongoing series even though the show hasn't aired yet.

The RIVERDALE one-shot was just that... a one-shot (scheduled to ship 03-01-17 ...but we'll see...). That issue contains four short stories each focusing on a single character (and all written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa) which serve as prequels to the TV pilot episode.

Which was then followed by a solicitation for RIVERDALE (ONGOING) #1... which has since been cancelled. The ongoing series was also supposed to have been written by "Aguirre-Sacasa and the members of the show's writers' room, along with art by up-and-coming artist Alitha Martinez" according to the original solicitation.

So the one-shot #1 and the ongoing #1 are (or were) two different comics. Since they cancelled the ongoing #1 issue, it shouldn't create any confusion down the road as to which is the proper #1 issue (in effect, the one-shot #1 would have actually been like issue #0... but now we don't have to worry about that).

And on a side note, AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE #11 and 12 were both cancelled as well (along with SABRINA #7), so B&V #3 just may come out before those do. And when I say "cancelled", I mean that those issues will have to be re-solicited (just like B&V #3) before you'll see them published.

But what I want to know is if Josie & Sabrina are actually going to BE in JUGHEAD #14, or did Derek Charm just draw them on the cover??

*Pop Tate is one creepy looking fat man now, isn't he?*

                                 ^ Reading the Shoutbox...  ;) ^

TV shows are really easy to write, if you only remember to start with the basic premise of "Hey, you know what would be cool? If everybody was having sex with everybody else !" And, of course, make sure you advertise the show heavily in all of your digests. Wouldn't want any of the 10 year olds to miss anything cool!

Thanks.


I may be too cynical for my own good, but, my suspicion is that the photo has nothing to do with them dating, but is some sort of Sweeps prick-tease
