Everything's Archie...
COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: Sadness this week, as the world will be rocked with the news that Archie Andrews  sacrificed himself heroically while saving the life of a friend in the pages of LIFE WITH ARCHIE #36, which is also the final issue of that series. You remember Archie getting killed don't you? It was carried by all the news outlets TWO MONTHS AGO (oddly enough right around the time I was making my orders for this title-what a coincidence!) Anyway, the event is finally happening this Wednesday, it's the reason we picked "old checkerboard head" as our HERO OF THE MONTH (see below). Keep your eyes peeled on E-Bay this week to see if there is any movement on this historic issue! Who will be Archie's killer? My money is on...Cheryl Blossom-never trust a ginger!
 
 

   
THE REST OF THE WEEK: Marvel decided this was the week to pack the schedule with Second Prints. Over a third of their comic releases for this week are 2nd/3rd Prints (13 out of 34). One assumes it has something to do with San Diego at the end of the month. IDW is launching six new series this week, the most interesting being Squidder #1 (which is why it's 1st Day Sale'd all day Wednesday). DC has a relatively small output, moving from 1st Place last week to 4th in this week's shipping standings. What it does offer however is choice with the controversial Teen Titans #1, Robin Rises Omega #1 (Damien's coming back), the Harley Quinn SDCC Special and Infinite Crisis Fight for the Multiverse #1 (based of the video game). Rounding out the week is the 100th issue of Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales with seven covers and a $5.99 cover price. Public domain fairy tales + cheesecake x fan boys = sales longevity. Who knew?!?
