Has anyone been keeping up with Archie Comics? by Jerry Whorebach 07/22/2011, 10:10am PDT
Fuck the DC relaunch, Archie Comics is where the real shit is going down. Not only are they now publishing a regular monthly about the most popular new trend in boys, being inoffensively gay, but they just announced a titanic team-up between the kids of Riverdale and the ‘hottest band in the world'... KISS!

KISS arrives in Riverdale this November in the pages of ARCHIE #627, which kicks off the four-part “ARCHIE MEETS KISS” storyline, written by Archie's own Executive Director of Publicity and Marketing, Alex Segura, and featuring art by Archie superstar Dan Parent. When one of Sabrina's spells goes awry and a cabal of monsters invade the town, the Archie gang and KISS join forces to try and save the day. Full of adventure, humor and – of course – rock, the story is certain to appeal to fans of the band and the Riverdale gang.


Not since Archie met the Punisher has a crossover simultaneously made so much and so little sense. If you're going up against magical monsters, I can see why you'd want the Starchild, the Demon, the Space Ace and the, uh, Cat Man on your side - but what's KISS doing palling around with a bunch of young, nubile, sexually frustrated... oh.

I love how even the press release includes sneer quotes around 'hottest band in the world'. It's like they're afraid of getting sued by reality. Speaking of lawsuits, there's a pretty good one being brought against Archie Comics CEO Nancy Silberkleit, for bullying and sexual harassment.

TMZ reports that the lawsuit, filed Thursday in New York, documents employee complaints of Silberkleit’s “offensive” behavior dating back to 2009. In one incident she allegedly interrupted a meeting and “pointed to each [attendee] and said, ‘PENIS, PENIS, PENIS, PENIS’ and then walked out.”


Awesome. I don't know if menopause necessarily causes women to make better decisions, but it sure as hell seems to shut down whatever part of their brains is responsible for giving a single fuck. Here's a photo I found of Nancy, stroking hand draped demurely over her huge lady balls:



"Chris, I just had a great idea. Get me Gene Simmons on the line. Penis; penis, penis. Over."
