Archie Comics to Publish New "Sabrina"&"Mighty Crusader" Series // Both Comic Books Geared Towards Mature Audiences

(source)

The Diamond Retailer Summit just happened over in Las Vegas this past weekend. I don't know much about this summit, but I do know that there were lots of revelations from the different comic book companies. I was not impressed with much coming out of Marvel Comics (with the possible exception of the upcoming GUARDIANS 3000 and ROCKET RACCOON comic book series).

But Bleeding Cool shared a couple new projects coming out of Archie Comics in the future that got me all excited!

First, there is the new SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH series, which sounds like it will be a spin-off of AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE. But it might just be created in the spirit of Archie Comics' zombie juggernaut book. SABRINA will be published as "an out-and-out horror comic." This book is supposed to debut in October 2014.

Then I learned today about a new line of Red Circle comic books geared towards an older audience. This will presumably include the previously announced THE FOX: FOX HUNT comic book, but will also apparently feature the MIGHTY CRUSADERS and associated heroes. I am a huge fan of the old Hangman character. And by "old Hangman character," I mean the old 1940s Hangman stories. You should check them out if you get a chance!

I have several online Archie Comics friends. I know that some of them will love these changes and other friends will absolutely hate them. I am pretty hyped about both projects!
