How on planet Earth is this not going to get mainstream media coverage?!
It’s NOT possible.
If its a slow news day its going to be everywhere.
Death of the Icon of the checkout aisle that most of the mainstream public recognize.
This book is going to be BIG.
Biggest book of Summer BIG.
The direct market has more eyes on Archie than ever before result of the genius Afterlife series. Add that to the mainstream public flooding into the 1.900 remaining direct market shops to get a copy of the “collectors item” they just saw on the news.
Archie Publications knows this will be big.
They will anticipate demand. They’ll overprint. They’ll fall short.
Supply will not meet demand.
People will be scrambling.
If you speculate on modern comic books.
You. Want. This.
