The SDCC ones by Fiona are my favorite.

How many copies of the new Jughead selling? Probably a LOT less than 18K? I'll guess around 10K.

Sales estimates for the rebooted titles (source: www.comichron.com):

ARCHIE #1 (July 2015) = 101,488
ARCHIE #1 (Aug. 2015) = +2,860 (reorders)
ARCHIE #2 (Aug. 2015) = 30,642
ARCHIE #3 (Oct. 2015) = 27,734
ARCHIE #4 (Nov. 2015) = 25,824
ARCHIE COLLECTORS EDITION [$9.99] (Dec. 2015) = 3,405
ARCHIE #5 (Jan. 2016) = 20,677
ARCHIE #6 (Feb. 2016) = 18,401

JUGHEAD #1 (Oct. 2015) = 32,118
JUGHEAD #2 (Nov. 2015) = 15,973
JUGHEAD #3 (Dec. 2015) = 12,229

No sales estimates available for March 2016 as yet. It would be fair to say there's a general downward trend in effect here, though. Exactly when or at what number it will level out is anyone's guess.

Comparative historical sales data provided for putting these sales figures in perspective:
http://www.comichron.com/titlespotlights/archie.html
Keep in mind that the last recorded years of sales data for the classic Archie series logged sales of 11,098 (2013) and 9,052 (2014).

Based on the trend of ARCHIE sales figures, a run of about 12-15 issues in total seems about right.

It would be interesting to see how much each issue of the Archie reboot is costing ACP factoring in production costs and artist and writer salaries versus the old Archie floppies. Like Fernando alluded to, I'm willing to bet they are spending a lot more per issue/copy.


Another thing which is interesting, if 75% of Archie fans prefer the old Archie why aren't sales reflecting that? Were these fans only buying digests and not the floppies? Why wasn't this enough to keep the old Archie alive even though they were probably making more money paying the artists less?


Also I'm not sure why they bother with the trade paperbacks when sales of those are less than the individual issues. Although they do cost more per unit.

The new artist replacing Erica Henderson is Derek Charm. At least it's a definite improvement.

He made Betty and Veronica pretty again. Hooray! I still can't forgive Erica for making them ugly

Went to the Cleveland Chinatown. Had some dim sum and Chinese bakery items.

Well this poll speaks for itself. I wonder why ACP doesn't go back to the old style.

Kevin does seem to have been de-emphasized recently.  You can get his trades dirt cheap on Archie's website, and he hardly shows up after the first few issues in the main Archie book. (I don't know about Jughead, as I haven't been following it).  It makes you wonder if ACP doesn't think that Kevin Keller has run its course, and decided to move on to the next thing.

But it sounds like Kevin's gonna have a big part in the TV show.

American Idol the Farewell show with my grandma. I'm not worried. It'll be back again in another 10 years. I used to be really into the show in the Clay Aiken year but not anytime recently.

Off-topic:
Anyone else having this problem? Since the site came back, it seems to always insist on putting extra spaces in between lines whenever I compose a post.

I have also had this problem. I don't know how to pre-fix besides going back and modifying the already submitted post.

Princeless Vol 2 and 3 - #3 featured my favorite character: Raven.

Yeah, I consider Book 3 to really be Raven Book 0 ... did you read the short stories book which shows their first meeting from a slightly different view?

That and Vol #4 are on my TBR list.

Someone just wiped out a whole day's worth of messages and I think his name begins with an A unless someone else did it by accident. I'd post this in the shoutbox except it'll probably disappear like the rest. Oldiesmann, can you change the settings, please?

What a weird feature to let anyone delete things from the shoutbox. Wonder why that is even built into the forum.

Not currently watching it but in about 1 hour i will be watching Seventeen Again starring Tia and Tamara Mowry which i have to use gor a school essay. I was able to pick out any movie i wanted so I choose that one

I'm guessing this is different from the Zac Efron one? Though I did like that one.

Since my power chair my aide & I will be able to go to the salon. I need a trim. I'll post pictures on my twitter page later. I ate lunch at home to save the money. And we will go to the library. 
And we did that. I got a trim at the beauty salon. My mom is going help me dye my hair. We did some grocery shopping at Foodtown. & we also went get a drink at KFC.  I got a refill to bring it home to mom. She loves Fountain Soda. And since we haven't been to the thrift store we went there. In there book section they had comics. I bought Archie #380 & #385 & #403 & #415 & World Of Archie #6 & Archie #3000 #16 & Betty & Veronica Christmas Spectacular #580 & #629 & Betty & Veronica Summer Fun#611.

What color are you dying it? Blonde?


I've never been able to find Archie comics at a thrift store. You are lucky.

I read Bee & Puppy Cat -Volume #1. It was awful. I won't buy it.

I own it and I like it. But it's kind of comic strip humor or humor I remember from 90s Nickelodeon shows like Rocko's Modern Life. Like Luna the Vampire.
