seems like a lot of titles aren't here.  No Betty and Veronica titles, TPB's, Graphic Novels, or floppies this month

Definitely a weak month, although I'm kind of curious to read the Jughead/Sabrina story. Only three digests? No B&V anywhere? Meh. Don't tell me they spent all that investment capital already!

Archie #14 & Jughead #11are a must. I like Joe Eisma's art from Morning Glories.

Love the covers for Archie #14 and Jughead #11

Here is an explanation for no Betty and Veronica #4 or Betty and Veronica Digests in the November solicits.

There is nothing wrong here with Betty and Veronica as it is a bi-monthly title. Issue 1 came out in July. Issue 2 will come out in September and Issue 3 in November. The reason its not in the solicits for November is that issue 4 will not come out until January 2017 which will show up in the December solicits. There is also nothing wrong with the Betty and Veronica Digests as well. Up until November 2016 there will be 9 Digests released, 2 annuals, 2 Jumbos and the 5 regular Digests. Only 10 Digests are released in a year. The 10th Digest for this title will most likely appear in the next solicits in December.

As for the Betty and Veronica Friends Digest, up until November 2016 5 Digests would have been released out of the 5 or 6 released in a year. The Betty and Veronica Digests and comic should appear in the December 2016 solicits.

It still sucks though. 

I completely agree and understand but at least the next three Betty and Veronica Digests will be the bigger editions and one Betty and Veronica Digest for each of the next three months as shown:

Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics #247 releasing September 28 will be Fall themed
Betty and Veronica Friends Halloween Annual #251 releasing October 5
Betty and Veronica Holiday Annual #248 releasing November 2

Betty and Veronica Holiday Annual #248 releasing November 2

Of course those are just solicitations. Just like the 75th Anniversary Celebration digest isn't listed for November solicits (#3 was already solicited with a shipping date of Nov. 2), some digests may have been solicited in the previous month, or may be shipping later than originally solicited. So there's at least the Holiday Annual #248 at the beginning of the month, and also the BETTY AND VERONICA FAIRY TALES trade collection solicited last month (and scheduled to ship Nov. 16). ... Assuming that those all ship on time.

I'm still trying to get my hands on a copy of the BETTY AND VERONICA: GIRLS RULE trade collection. Ordered it through my LCS but they sent the wrong thing (the latest B&VDD -- but invoiced the store for the right thing, so that's Diamond's fault). My LCS reported it to Diamond as shortage so now they'll have to send a replacement copy. It's still annoying, because now I have to wait.

Wow beautiful Jughead covers! 

so excited for the christmas stories to come out!

I can't wait to see how Joe Eisma draws Reggie. There's a character in Morning Glories that reminds me of Reggie. His name is Ike.

How can she be likeable? I can certainly see Cheryl as very pretty, but I  haven't seen anything likeable about her here... 🤔

Oh look, ARCHIE #14 is an unpublicized crossover story with Medusa of the Inhumans!
