According to the website, I'm on the fence on whether Cosmo was supposed to be limited or not. On the issue 4 blurb for the pre-order, it calls it a 5 issue limited series, but the first issue listed as a new on-going series, so I'm thinking it was rethought after poor sales. The B&V books maybe will still run concurrently, but I've seen a big decrease in the number of grocery stores and retail outlets carrying them like they used to, so I can see them limiting titles.
I didn't realize until I looked at the last page in the story that Crusaders had ended. Not surprising since the title never lasts long. It's just never been popular. They would have done better bringing back That Wilkins Boy.
Also - what happened to the tease of Little Sabrina and Little Josie at the end of Little Archie One-Shot? That was last summer and they said "Coming Soon"?
I just can't see a vision in place for the "New Archie", sometimes because I just can't get past the artwork - and yes, the stories are not great...
Did anyone else think that the auction for the complete run of Archie comics full-page ad sometime last year might be the company selling off the vault copies to raise capital?
Nope. Not them. They haven't scanned all those stories digitally yet, and they can't do that until they complete that task, unless they really ARE planning to sell off ALL the assets and bail out of the publishing business even sooner than many people think -- which means they would be giving up on digital as well.
Most companies keep multiple vault copies, so I thought maybe they were thinning down by one to keep things going until they hit a "sweet spot."
