Archie Teases Four New Series In March, No Kickstarter In Sight

The last time Archie Comics tried to launch a bunch of new titles, they tried to Kickstart them, prompting a lot of backlash over the the perceived attempt to get fans to finance the publishing plans of a decades-old publisher with some of the most recognizable intellectual property in the world, and leading to the company to cancel the Kickstarter.

All of that happened back in May of 2015. Almost two years later, in March 2017, Archie will launch four new titles, and there's no Kickstarter in sight. Instead, Archie is trying the more traditional method of building interest in the comics ahead of launch through cryptic teaser images released on Facebook.

We'll post our best guesses, and one alternative, underneath each one, but welcome your guesses in the comments as well.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
