Sure, we'll go with that. The slice-of-life comics featured in this digest are surprisingly soothing and genuinely enjoyable They start off with the students of Riverdale lamenting[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] "Good things come in threes, and this is a triple threat of MAGIC, MUSIC & MISCHIEF! This collection of classic stories features three amazing series: Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Josie and the Pussycats and Little Archie!" Archie's Big Book Volume 1 is exactly what the title says: a big book At 304 pages, there's enough[...]

Along with a new Mighty Crusaders series from Ian Flynn and Kelsey Shannon and an upcoming Cosmo revival from Flynn, Betty & Veronica Vixens is billed[...]

Ian Flynn and Kelsey Shannon are launching a new Mighty Crusaders ongoing comic at Archie in December. Back in June, during the lead-up to San Diego Comic Con, Bleeding Cool Rumormonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston noticed that Archie Comics had registered a trademark for The Mighty Crusaders Rich watches comic book company trademark registrations like normal people watch Game[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] "It's SUMMER FUN MONTH! with the new lead story "Beachwatch"! They're filming a new "Beachwatch" movie on the beach, and Archie is thrilled to have gotten a part in it! But will he become a star, or will something cause him to get burned?" Archie and summertime go hand in hand Think about it: almost all[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is frankly one of the best series Archie Comics has put out in years I would happily trade all of the modern reboots for more horror Archie lines, that's how good they've been Yet despite my ardent adoration of both this and the Afterlife series, they are published few and[...]

Just as Archie Comics' grim and gritty reboot comicverse and Riverdale TV show have taken a more mature approach to storytelling, so too has Archie's twitter account apparently grown snarky and cynical… and we love it! Earlier today, Archie Comics made a joke about a fidget spinner episode of Riverdale: riverdale season 2 jughead fidget spinner episode[...]

Archie has released a preview of the Avengers Digest issue of Marvel Comics Digest In stores on August 2nd, the final order cutoff for retailers is Monday, July 10th, so Archie is hoping a little taste of what's inside will get retailers to order more of these $6.99 books. But while a Marvel comic priced over[...]

In typical Archie fashion, publisher Archie Comics has found itself involved in a corporate love triangle! While Archie is currently releasing Marvel Digests to supermarkets and comic stores, the two-timing company has also announced an intercompany crossover with Marvel's rival, DC Comics. As socialism invades Riverdale with a scheme to bring free college tuition to Riverdalians[...]

Archie Comics has released a preview of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7, proving without a shadow of a doubt that the comic is finished and will actually be in stores tomorrow. Originally launched in October of 2014, Sabrina has had a little bit of trouble staying on schedule However, that appears to be resolved, as Archie[...]

The questions will be: Is Hiram truly reformed? What does he want? How does Veronica figure into his plans? How will Archie figure into his plans?" If you know anything about Archie, than you know Hiram Lodge doesn't like him There's been lukewarm bad blood between the two for 75 years, and while Archie is overall[...]

"That doesn't necessarily make the victim one of our squeakier-clean kids — there's a lot of mileage to be gotten out of anyone's loss, even a heel's." From Entertainment Weekly in April: But now, death is coming to the company's flagship comic, Archie, in a major way The next story arc, "Over the Edge," will last three issues[...]

The remaking of Archie Comics in recent years has told all sorts of Archie stories in all sorts of styles that would have been unthinkable less than a decade ago, including inspiring the current successful TV show Riverdale. Which leads us to Betty & Veronica from Adam Hughes A story that could have been squeezed into[...]

It all boils down to the big Harvest Dance at Riverdale High, which Betty has insisted will look just like it did in 1941, when Archie first made his glorious world debut The story is pretty good, with Hughes showing off his exceptional writing and handle on the 75 year old teenagers Veronica is a[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Sabrina was introduced to the world in Archie's Mad House #22 in 1962, from writer George Gladir and Dan DeCarlo The little 5 page story would turn out to be one of Archie's most enduring franchises, spawning various comic titles, a movie, and one of the most loved television shows of all time Honestly[...]

I could buy the $10 Batgirl one, or I could buy a generic DC coloring book aimed at younger audiences for a fraction of the cost. Seriously, $10!? Unfortunately for me, an official Archie's Coloring Book was just released today, and I'm not exactly shy about my deep-seated obsession with Archie According to the press release: "Get creative with[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Archie and Disney are my two favorite things in the whole world So I am immediately enthralled by the Frozen spoof cover on Archie's 75th Anniversary Digest #10 The cover–by Dan Parent— reflects the interior, as the book is heavily dedicated to the Archie fairy tale spoofs There's a little history to each classic[...]

From Archie Comics in August… though we start with Marvel (digest-sized Avengers), a promised return of Sabrina (and something about Madam Satan's grand plan of revenge) and a new start for Archie (lives destroyed, families torn apart… hope that works out!).   MARVEL COMICS DIGEST #2 THE AVENGERS $6.99 (W/A) Various (CA) John Cassaday Marvel Comics' best-selling heroes are back[...]

Personally I'll be buying the box set, but that's really just my obsessive Archie fandom talking Come sooner, August! I need to throw more money at Archie! Yes, it's true, the first season of Riverdale has ended I'd previously written about the series as a whole recently, and frankly if you haven't seen it yet[...]

Riverdale is not perfect, it's destroying itself, the group of teenage heroes are doing anything they can to stop it. // KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, and Camila Mendes, as Archie, Betty, Jughead, and Veronica Overall it's a strong show, but select episodes (as I've talked about in the past) did drag on The series picked[...]

Riverdale hasn't ignored all of classic Archie In the clip below, we get to see Archie, Veronica, and Josie and the Pussycats perform Share it With You, which will debut on the season finale this Thursday night Hopefully we can see The Archies come together in season 2! Personally, I'm hoping they do more classic[...]

It's a dark inversion of everything we've come to take for granted in Archie comics: That the American small town is safe and everyone is good at heart. The TV show is a totally bonkers dark and gritty melodrama where no one is safe, secrets are bubbling away on the surface, innocence is destroyed, and murders[...]

According to the CW, this episode has a lot to cover. Archie (KJ Apa) and Veronica (Camila Mendes) are shocked to learn of the arrest but know they need to come clean to their parents about what they uncovered.  Still hurt by the betrayal of his friends and torn over who to trust, Jughead (Cole Sprouse)[...]

And Betty is not happy to learn that Veronica and Archie are helping Alice Meanwhile, Jughead considers giving his father another chance after seeing him try to clean up his act; Polly and Cheryl both decide to go to Homecoming in Jason's honor; and Fred and Mary attend the Homecoming dance, leaving him to possibly[...]

You can find them right now at C2E2 at table U-10. And she certainly seems to have made her mark on the show… Could there be more Reversedale stories from Gisele for Archie in the future? Two days ago, Bleeding Cool told you how Canadian artist and cartoonist Gisele Lagace was turned away at the US border,[...]
