Recently, Archie Comics and Dark Horse joined forces for the Archive Editions. This current partnership between Archie Comics and Creative Artists Agency could potentially lead to an even greater push for the entertainment brand in the form of film and TV. The archive editions are simply reprinted versions of classic Archie stories in hardcover volumes with each volume consisting of 200-250 pages, with a price tag of $49.95.
If the push for the media branding goes through, Archie and the others could all make it to a theater near you. The possibility of seeing Archie in theatrical release isn't a far fetched idea because Archie Comics also owns brands such as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "Josie and the Pussycats," both which made their way to theaters and television.
If and when we are able to see Archie in theatrical form, how will he and the gang appear? Live action or in an animated feature, along the lines of box office hits like "Monsters Vs Aliens" or the recent "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?"
