Lately, my Weird Sounds Inside The Gold Mind kickass rock and blues Internet radio show has spilled over into my ComicMix column. But it’s hard for me to restrain myself, and besides, self-restraint isn’t exactly my long suit.
Since every living person, as well as the estates of many of the dead, makes all kinds of “big” announcements at Sdcc, the smart people (Hi, Martha!) make their big announcements the week before the show. They’ll get better exposure in the online comics news sites, and this year they avoid having to compete for attention with a 70-year old Creamsicle media hog with severe bigotry issues.
So our friends at Archie Comics cleverly chose last week to announce their latest bizarre crossover, Archie Meets The Ramones. This past decade or so, Archie Comics (as opposed to the character, Archie Andrews) have been the most innovative and risk-taking of the Original Comics Publishers.

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch has cast her spell on Paramount Pictures, which has signed a deal with Archie Comics Entertainment for the rights to co-produce a live-action film based on the hit comic book character that also was the subject of a television series produced by Paramount Television. Paramount will distribute the film, to be produced by Archie Comics Entertainment president Allan Grafman and CEO Chuck Grimes. Archie Comics Publications Inc. chairman Michael Silberkleit and president Richard Goldwater will serve as executive producers. Paramount and Archie Comics will split the proceeds of a licensing and merchandising program surrounding the film. "While the movie will be empowering for girls, it is going to have the action and science-fiction fantasy that appeals to boys," Grafman said.
