There is no requirement to produce new material. They just have to produce something that uses the trademark.

At least until they can figure out how to achieve both A and B without a comic book company in tow.

In Archie’s case, while their reprints make money, wonder what impact their low non-comics media presence (besides the occasional Sabrina TV series) will have in the long run…
