I always felt that the Archie series needed some new blood and a fresh, sincere take. So I was fine with the idea. They still have the original stuff (like grocery store digests), but this is just a separate series.

Wait, there was an Archie reboot? I'm struggling to even figure out why someone would think that's a good idea.

Everything's getting rebooted these days. We're a long way away from the Archies...

Because it's the only IP Archie Comics has any more, and they went and killed Archie in an AU for some reason that made sense to someone, I guess.

I'd have thought they were still doing something with Sabrina, but...
 
I started reading Chew and it's pretty good stuff. It's about an Asian detective who can gather information and history from the stuff he eats (including people). It doesn't take itself too seriously and the art has a quirky, animated feel to it.
 
Is anyone else here caught up on "American Vampire"?
My current favorite issues right now are most of the post secret wars Marvel titles.
 
Read Jeff Smith's Bone last week. It was pretty damn great. Going to try and start reading through the Dark Horse Conan stuff, and maybe Camelot 3000, after catching up in Usagi Yojimbo.

They are, sorta. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is one of the best books on the market and is a great horror comic (much like sibling series Afterlife with Archie)...whenever issues actually come out. They're constantly delayed.

To put this in perspective? The last issue for Sabrina was issue 4, in July. It started in 2014. The last issue for Afterlife was issue 8, back in May. It started in 2013. They're supposed to be monthly series.

I loved Bone as a teenager. I was also a Strangers in Paradise fan (it was the official comic book of my Girl Scout troop). Though I started to lose interest when it felt like the relationships were dragging.

Bone was awesome. I loved how it started off as a classic comedy and turned into high fantasy adventure, while still retaining a sense of comedy and wonder.
 
Anybody ever come across Amelia Rules! at some point in their childhood? It was a lighthearted series about a girl dealing with divorced parents and an aunt who's a famous musician, who has "slice of life"-esque adventures with a group of friends (and a frenemy). It's a feel-good series that I totally recommend to anyone who relates, and has a lot of funny moments (give or take some tongue-in-cheek humor).

I had this theory that Phoney Bone had sold his soul to the Hooded One to get his fortune when I was younger, but it didn't end up that way. I got a copy of the classic of Howard the Duck comics and I will be reading them later today.

I used to love that series. I loved how the different characters had different speech bubbles to match their different speech patterns. It was very imaginative for a slice-of-life comic and had a great sense of wonder to it.
 
So is anyone else annoyed at the fact that the big two are raising their prices to much?.

I mean I understand the Dark Knight 3 but then their's the new Legends of Tomorrow just strike me as them being worried that these books originally soclitated as 4 different series strikes me as them having no faith in the series, Which is depressing because I actually had some hope in the Sugar and Spike comic written by Keith Griffen.

I had no idea they were bringing back Sugar and Spike...

And much like Marvel did with Patsy Walker, they're integrating them into the wider superhero world. Will we ever get a revival of an old non-superhero title that doesn't put it with the heroes?
 
There detective's who work for the dc heroes.

Honestly I would like a book aimed for younger kids, but really Keith Griffen is a guy who usually makes comedy books work so high hopes.

Almost enough to make me consider buying it.

Maybe if it wasen't $8

The original was Rugrats before Rugrats, essentially. What they're doing with the characters now is... rather unexpected. I do think it could work, though.

$8 for an issue? If so, that's highway fucking robbery.
