Red_Hood Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Has anyone picked this up and read it yet? It's one of the few new books I find myself excited to read. There are 4 covers (1 regular and 3 variants). Feel free to chime in your thoughts or reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the authority Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I pre-ordered the set and then went and bought another set at lunch. The reviews are super positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Hood Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Betty One of the variant covers has a great Betty cover. Damsel in distress/horror style. Don't forget Cheryl Blossom too! I quickly skimmed the 1st few pages and really liked it. I think I'm going to be very excited for this series. I think this series has some potential. A seasoned writing/art team thrown in for good measure. I hope they introduce some new characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuff Ghost Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The first thing that attracted me to this was the Francavilla covers. Then i opened it and found out Francavilla was doing interiors. Buying this until the world ends. I grabbed covers A,B.C.D + My shop variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THB Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The most ordered Archie comic in a long time at my LCS. Sold out of 50 copies. I think the stores that ordered variants are going to be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkdrawer Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I went to 2 LCS today and no Betty cover and took another shot at one more and grabbed 17 Bettys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoddler Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 What's the typical Archie print run? Are these the same or did they anticipate more demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Congrats ! I agree with zacrew that is the one to get but I think they are all worth picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinityk10-migration Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 LCS didn't have any of them but the manager/owner said hes getting in some next week and will save me some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Seriously? Its Archie. My local shops cant sell an Archie back issue to save their lives. They got so many they will no longer buy any Archie, Jughead, or Betty/Veronica etc.... Hope new series goes well. Maybe they will convert new members.

Red_Hood Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Of all the modern comics that I've read in the past 2 years. This is easily my favourite new book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarrysComics Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) 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.
