Why are these idiots reprinting more Archie? Well, at least this and Joke Book are reprinting Golden Age stuff, but I would seriously want some more interesting stuuf of their reprinted like That Wilkin Boy, Wilbur, John Rosenberger's early 1960s Archie Adventure Series stuff, the 1970s Red Circle horror stuff, or the early 1980s Red Circle/Archie Adventure Series stuff!

Only good thing this month is the Suicide Girls comic!

The Rocketeer anthology looks awesome! Wish it was more than 4 issues but maybe IDW can do a sequel in a year or two.

-Locke : Key: Clockworks #1 looks excelent and I'm really psyched for it!
-Locke & Key Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom HC for my wife, who prefers tbps over singles, yet loves Locke & Key as much as I do.

Looks like they are giving up on Star Trek. Nothing. It doesn't make sense to pay for the license when you aren't putting out product, so it can't be long until they let go the license.

[Zarathos81]

Two Godzilla books and more of the awesome Zombies Vs Robots/Infestation stuff!
I would love to collect Transformers but as long as the art is the way it is I won't. If it looked like the cover shown here I certainly would. I just hate the Good Look/Crappy Movie look hybrid they are using.

Up until recently, I think IDW has handled the license well. I don't understand why they'd include it in with the Infestation crossover, and then not have anything else for months. Maybe someone like Boom Studios can pick it up.

Looks like they are giving up on Star Trek. Nothing.

Yeah; that sucks. They had a nice variety of Star Trek stuff when they started. I really liked that they had TOS, new movieverse, Gary 7, Pikes early crew, alien spotlights, captain spotlights, alternate timelines, Mccoy between TOS and the 1st movie, 2nd 5 year mission, TNG, DS9, New Frontier...

[MNM]

I'm disappointed with that Archie book. I thought it would be "new" material, but it seems to just be both the Best of the 40's books in one hardback. I have those books, not sure I'll bother buying this.

I'd agree.

I never carried for Archie & gang (tho I did enjoy many of the Li'l Archie stuff, which could be as good as Little Lulu).

I'd more go for archives of the 50s Archie Adventure Series stuff, 60s Mighty Comics stuff, 70s Red Circle stuff or the 80s Red Circle stuff.

[The Steve Rogers]

I just hate the Good Look/Crappy Movie look hybrid they are using.

I couldn't agree more. It drives me crazy. It looks like several of the characters need a good dentist.

[Venabili]

No Star Trek... that's weird. Hopefully it is just a buildup for something later in the year (one can always hope... right?)

As fro Archie - I guess that sells. No idea who reads it but if they keep publishing it, I suspect it sells...
