This was such a cool book. I'm surprised they waited so long, since the TV show is over.

It's Archie Comics.
They don't have a very good track record when it comes to timing on books like this.
Oh, and a previous thread about this is at https://community.cbr.com/showthread...amned-(Archie), though it doesn't have the name of the comic book in the thread title.
I blame Riverdale. Archie Comics tried to apply that aesthetic/tv success to their whole line and while a couple of the horror stuff was good (Sabrina and Afterlife, I didnt like betty the vampire hunter and the hunger) it's failed. We haven't had an ongoing Archie since 2018 (and that was with the ugly new art style) and no ongoing Betty and Veronica for longer. Just the odd mini series of varying quality in art work and story ideas.
Archie Comics are a shadow of what they once were and it's very sad to see.
In the last issues of the flagship Archie series, Archie had hooked up with Sabrina. It would have been interesting to see whether that romance would be true love at long last or whether he would go back to wavering between Betty and Veronica, but now we shall never know. What a cliffhanger on which to end a nearly 80-year run!
