Not to derail the thread further, but I had a look at what Archie is publishing these days.. Aside from digests, looks like it's mostly one-shots like "Archie's Valentine's Day Spectacular" and "Betty and Veronica Friends Forever Summer". Maybe this is a consequence of the fact that #1's sell, and there's a steep drop-off in sales on #2 and up.

Archie really has its own set of problems. Look at a lot of those one-shots. Many of them have only one very short new story and fill up the rest of the issue with reprints. Between new stories for the digests and one-shots, they seem to be stretching their available funds for new work too thin.
