Links: A is for Archie, Aya, and Alison Dare

March 29, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

I talked to J. Torres about the return of his classic kids’ comic Alison Dare for this week’s edition of Publishers Weekly Comics Week.

Aya of Yop City
and Smile are among the featured titles in the latest Fourcast podcast from 4thletter!

Archie Comics has announced its first new series in over a decade, and they are set in alternate universes: Archie Loves Betty and Archie Loves Veronica, each featuring the title pair as a married couple. It will be interesting to see just how much kid appeal these titles will have.
