Afterlife with Archie - Monthly Series
3 3

730 posts in this topic

Read #3 last night. Absolutely loved it. The spin on the characters to bring the present world to the classic Archie franchise is done very well and the the story flows perfectly keeping you interested and on the edge wanting more. I think it's a great touch that they put in a letters page too, very nostalgic.

My only request would be to see more pages each issue. Make some of the issues like the old dollar books of the 70's.

By far the most intelligent story I've seen come to modern comics in a very long time.

The Pepoy variant I had 5 9.8 copies of.... Ebay sales of $60, 66, one board sale of $50 and then last week sold the last one I plan on selling for $35 :shrug:

I would wait until this one comes out. It will probably sell for more then. Folks will want the "Bookends". :)

I'm always pushing the book whenever I see a chance, but I'd suggest also trying the 'Life With Archie' series. Such a brilliant 'mature' Archie series, which is where this Afterlife With Archie series takes its nod from. Seriously, that series shocked me with how good it is.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll check it out and see if I like it.

Heads up for anyone collecting the series. This months previews I believe will have the TPB for pre-order which will have an exclusive cover.

 

"The Afterlife With Archie trade collection, in April, will feature a Direct Market “Exclusive” cover.

 

It’ll be printed on 12 point stock with a matte lamination (to mimic the finish of the individual issues) and a little spot varnish pop out from the shelf. It will also precede the mass market edition by three weeks or more, so comic shops will be able to sell it for that look without any bookstore competition. The mass edition will be then offered to comics shops for May.

"

The Veronica cover will likely be ordered more heavily than the Betty one so it will be interesting to see if that dampens pricing on it or not.

This book just keeps on giving.

 

Those Betty covers are going to be in demand with people wanting to make sets of these.
