>Zdarsky and Henderson are back with another out-of-this-world issue of the all-new Jughead! Drones? Explosives? A firing range? Science class under the new regime of Principal Stanger has taken a turn for the dangerous. And who do you call when danger is about? I guess, uh, 9-1-1? But if they can't help? You call Jones. Jughead Jones.
This preview shows EH's uncolored art.
Jughead #3 is out on December 30.

Variants are next. Are those variant cover artists deserve to work on the interiors of Jughead?

Henderson is a lot better when she doesn't add too many details to her characters. this looks better than Squirrel Girl

These new Archie comics have like 5 variants per issue, it's ridiculous.
I am loving the new stuff though, although I've never read any older Archie stuff, I wonder how it compares.
Does anyone else think she draws fabric really well?

Archie is catering to the direct market completely. They know variants sell to retailers, and to buyers. Yes, people still buy multiple covers to a comic.
For instance, Aspen always does 4 covers for issue #4. My retailer orders 1 or 2 copies of Aspen books, but will order 4 for the #4.
