Well the page count is no longer 256 and has since been shrunk several times to 160- which funny enough was the size of the original Archie digest line, but with adds. The sturdy cover cover format has also been abandoned quite a while ago and its pretty much the same as the floppies. They should just abandon the “double” in the title and make all the digests 160 pages. It’s a shame that the last original Archie digest title is coming to an end.

This is so frustrating! I still haven’t received an answer to my question anywhere I asked online! :(

I watched the video with artist/writer Dan Parent and he says that some writers use the transcript format. Is there a sample you can give us on how to do that? Dan Parent doesn’t explain that. Here’s the link to the video:

Sad to see them get rid of the Pals and Gals title. I’ve always loved that title for some reason.

The second one is B&V Friends, which suggests an opportunity to do more stories about Cheryl Blossom and other characters. As their two most attractive characters, it makes sense that they’d find a way to get more “B&V” titles out there. Thanks for sharing the additional info.

Oops, that’s a name/format change to the regular B&V Digest. I guess they *do* plan on having two B&V Double Digests; wonder what the difference between the two will be material-wise…

From the rumors I’ve heard (and from a look at the subscriptions page of the Archie website), Jughead and Friends is being axed (with the Jughead Double Digest still going), while Tales From Riverdale is also canceled (guessing World of Archie DD is its replacement), per their apparent plans on only having (admittedly better customer dollar value/more profitable) double digests.

I also see that B&V Double Digest is just having a (slight) name change; wasn’t sure if they were planning on having *two* B&V Double Digests or not.

Glad to hear Sabrina is being brought back!
