New York, NY (July 15, 2011): It's been a busy and important year for Archie
Comics, and there's plenty more to unveil and discuss.
After months of unprecedented media attention, major initiatives, character
debuts and stories and artwork that stand among the best in the company's
history, Archie Comics is ready to storm San Diego – and kick things into
even higher gear.
In addition to major topics like Archie's forward-looking and innovative
digital presence, LIFE WITH ARCHIE MAGAZINE, the success of MEGA MAN and
SONIC, the sales powerhouse that is KEVIN KELLER's own series and the
company's first original graphic novel, ARCHIE BABIES, the company is
prepared to make a number of major, game-changing announcements in the days
leading up to and during the convention, which is the premiere pop culture
event of the year. We hope to see you there, or following along with us via
