I would love to get Archie #18, the main cover looks the best. The Archies One Shot has 2 good covers, the main one & the red & white one. Reggie & Me #4 has 2 good covers the main one & one where he outside of the school.

Me too! It'll be a long time before the well runs dry for Dan Parent's modern updates of classic fairy tale stories.

Re: Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 one-shot: In this reboot she never even attended high school, and starts college after previously being home-schooled by her aunts? With story and art by the team from IDW's My Little Pony comic? That seems to indicate to me that the story and art might actually be comical/cartoony, so maybe I'll give this one a look after all.

EDIT: I actually missed the interior page penciled and inked by Andy Price when I first scanned these solicits. Some interesting details in that drawing, including Sabrina's t-shirt that has the GROOVIE GOOLIES logo on it, a Chinese take-out box labeled "Lee Ho Fooks" (taken from a line in the song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon; "I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand/Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain/He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fooks/Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein"), and a pendant (seen hanging from the bookcase) taken from a classic episode of Star Trek. This is definitely starting to look more promising to me. I only hope the story injects some humor into the proceedings.

Midtown Comics hasn't put them up yet on their site. This time all the digests look good. But I simply don't buy because I have plenty already. And I have a lot of those 1000 page books.

Just getting the main Archie book with the Hack cover.

Other covers I like

The Archies One- Shot - cover by David Mack

Jughead: The Hunger - cover by Robert Hack

B&V Friends Comics Annual #253 - cover by Dan Parent

Riverdale - cover by Peter Krause.

I think all three variant covers for Sabrina are nicer than the main one. Can't decide which is best. Why isn't the main cover by Andy Price? I know it's black and white but if the interior is as nice as that cover it's going to be a damn fine comic.
