I guess Archie has a few digests going. So they get steady business and they are poised to become a major player.
Their superhero line could be the tipping point.

A kid in a check-out line that sees a book featuring characters that are a mix of the Marvel movies and the adventure series on Cartoon Network... it's worth a shot for sure.

Archie's overhead is nowhere as high as Marvel's or DC's. They operate out of a small building in Mamaroneck, NY, not high priced offices in NYC. I hear their page rates are low, too. No royalties, either. And their contracts blow.

Their superhero line could be the tipping point. I'm surprised to find out that Archie comics are collected in trades, with some getting the hardcover treatment. I might buy a couple of Kevin Kellers, one for me and one to donate to my public library.
