Comments
As I’ve noted earlier, Kevin Keller’s solo comic has been cancelled as of this month, which I’ll miss. In his final issue, Kevin becomes a reluctant superhero (“The Equalizer”) at the behest of Veronica.
Much hyped in mainstream press is this month’s “Death of Archie” story, in the also-being-cancelled “Life With Archie.” While I doubt they’ll publish a follow-up where there’s four imitation Archies running around Riverdale, it is the last we’ll see of these adult versions of the characters. It’s back to their usual teenage selves otherwise…
There’s two “Jumbo Comics Digests” (formerly “Double Double Digests”) out this month? Odd, especially with “Betty and Veronica””s digest just having had a double-sized installment recently.
