Archie Comics responds
In response to the negative reaction that the “realistic” redesign of Betty and Veronica (and all the Archie crew) has received all over the Internet during the past few days, Archie Comics editor Rik Offenberger has chimed in over at WIRED’s arts and culture blog:
This new style is going to be featured in only one 4 part story mixed with classic tales in Betty & Veronica Double Digest #151-154. Classic Archie will be in every other story we publish. We will see what the fans think and if it is well received we may do another, if the fans don’t like it we will never do another story with this style.
Sounds like the fans have already spoken. More from Offenberger over at WIRED.
