Archie’s collecting its short-lived “Cosmo” reboot into a trade paperback. They’re also releasing a new miniseries titled “Archie: 1941.” Set in 1941, it sees Archie, Jughead, and company deal with the US’ looming entry into World War II, and how it affects their lives. Mark Waid’s a co-writer on this series. Given the very negative reception of his “Strange Fruit” miniseries a few years ago, I hope this book does a much better job when it comes to showing a 1940s-set Chuck Clayton (if Chuck appears).
“Star Trek vs. Transformers” is a miniseries crossing over everyone’s favorite 1980s giant shape-shifting robots (sorry, Gobots) with everyone’s favorite 23rd century, post-capitalism space explorers. Specifically, it’s a crossover with the 1970s “Star Trek” animated series, thus the art style on the cover. Presumably, we’ll also get to see Animated Series-only characters like M’Ress (the cat-like Enterprise crew member) and Arex (the crew member with three arms).
IDW is also releasing a four-issue “Dick Tracy” miniseries. It’s apparently set early in Dick’s career. They’re also releasing a special starring Disney’s “Tsum Tsum” stackable plush toys; it’s written by Thom Zahler (of “Love and Capes” fame).
Boom is releasing a graphic novel adaption of the 1977 “Peanuts” movie “Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown.” That’s the film where the gang go to summer camp and have a lengthy, several-day-long river raft race against a group of bullies. (All, as usual for “Peanuts,” without any adult or teenage supervision.)
