Sam I am Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The thing about this too, especially for older generations, is that everybody knows who Archie and his buddies are. It's a part of Americana. There would be lots of innate curiosity about this if it comes to the small screen or big screen. I am excited either way. You're right. Archie was one of this built in books we read as kids. Richie Rich was there too but I haven't seen one of those in a while. Last night's WD episode had rich zombies, so maybe they were testing the waters for that spin off.

Crimebuster Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) The Afterlife with Archie movie story buried the lead for me - well,not really, because it linked to the main article. But the big news is that Afterlife with Archie writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been named Archie Comics first Chief Creative Officer: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=51215 So the guy doing Afterlife with Archie is going to be guiding the creative direction of the entire Archie line, as well as shepherding the Archie properties through the TV and movie development pipeline. He already announced in this initial interview that's he's signed up Lena Dunham to write a four issue arc in the main Archie title, which will apparently be a Girls-style story focusing on Betty, Veronica, Cheryl and Nancy. Archie has been pushing the envelope for the last few years now, ever since Jon Goldwater took over, but this could potentially be the biggest move yet.

Ryan. Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I really like this book. My one gripe is that it's a super fast read. I think I finished issue 4 in about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yep, I agree. Its like Ultimate Spider-man. Great book, but expensive per minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaCrew Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This book is super unpredictable and I like it. Issue #4 will blow your mind. That was hands down the best one so far. The scenes with Vegas and his dad at the bottom of the stairs were hard to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warburger Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I agree with the points above, short read and longer waiting time between issues. This series is too excellent, so maybe Relativity theory is playing a part in testing my patience. Vegas' scene was heart-wrenching, even if the character was just introduced. The way he communicated with his Master Archie was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimebuster Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Just read this, also thought it was great. I bought the Seeley variant. Every copy my LCS had of the variant was slightly damaged, though. They were all bent at the top staple, which is a lot more noticeable with these heavy stock covers. Anyone else see this, or was this just an unlucky shipment? Edited March 6, 2014 by Crimebuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuff Ghost Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Anyone have any info on the Comics Pro cover for #4? Was this given out somewhere? Wondering how rare it is... kinda sucks I was enjoying collecting all the Francavilla covers on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all bent at the top staple, which is a lot more noticeable with these heavy stock covers. Anyone else see this, or was this just an unlucky shipment? I noticed an indentation beside the upper staple, not a spine crease. It looked like a partial impression of a staple next to the actual staple. Quick read, the Veronica variant will be a quick seller next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your LCS if they went and if they'll sell it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slym2none Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I still think the first print of #1's variant is gonna blow up sky-high. I say this solely because I have one I have been trying to sell on eBay for weeks now, $10 shipped in the USA. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
