CallMeSang Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I thought this was a mini and not a monthly. Glad I preordered 5 of each variant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion HQ Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sold like mad today... I checked the Diamond system Monday there were well over one thousand of each cover available for reorder. They're all gone now. Sold bout. That speaks volumes. Bought a set on eBay from you last night, Larry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion HQ Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've been looking forward to this one for months. Big fan of Archie and their universe. I would HIGHLY suggest everyone in this thread pick up the Life With Archie trades. That series is shockingly good, with more mature themes as well. My shop today only got a handful of the regular Afterlife issues in. None of the variant covers! How...why....you have to be pretty blind or a very bad judge of cool comics as a shop owner not to order that lovely Betty variant at least. In any event, no biggie, I was online last night and bought a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion HQ Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 You're welcome to you and your wife, Larry! Hadn't seen that particular cover for sale. Is that like a 1 per shop book? Why is it number 23?? Love it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warburger Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Loved the story. This is going to be big. It was very surreal seeing the Archie characters in a more mature light. -Sabrina's punishment -Hotdog's death...sob... -Reggie's guilt -B&V's catty attitude towards each other I'm hooked. I still don't have cover B. But I got sexy Betty, so it's all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuff Ghost Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yeah, I can't find that book for sale anywhere unfortunately. It's a variant cover for 'Life With Archie #23" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackhartmann Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think the books will rock based on reviews. It also has Archie, zombies, and cool art. The odds favor this series being a big hit imho. +1 You hit it on the head. I wonder how many were printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered 250 at 2p. If they come in, I'll hook ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie has a monster newsstand presence. This book however due to the mature content is NOT newsstand. From what I've been told it was heavily overprinted but still sold out.

Awax Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yeah, I can't find that book for sale anywhere unfortunately. It's a variant cover for 'Life With Archie #23" I got one of these a month or so ago. Magazine size. Going to be hard to find. The good thing, the inside has nothing to do with Afterlife. It's just regular Archie inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, well, that may be true, but an Archie overprinting is not DC/Marvel overprinting numbers either. It'll be out there, but with Halloween around the corner, Walking Dead Starting this week, and word of mouth, I don't see it staying on shelves long.

the authority Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I finally got to read it. I haven't read an Archie or Richie Rich comic since I was a kid but I was happily surprised how much I still like it. They seem a LOT more mature now than 35 to 40 years ago but times change It looks like to me its going to be a fun ride and I loved the art. It wasn't classic Archie art but definitely lent itself to the spooky/dark feel of the story. I also like the texture of the cover. I've felt it on a comic before but I can't remember on what book. It almost had a painted feeling to it. I'm in for the long haul. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
