With the shock of the lipstick incident behind us, it's time for the well-received realistic Archie comic to get a "permanent" ongoing artist, and it's Veronica Fish. Fiona Staples launched the title in high style, Annie Wu drew issue #4 with more style, and Fish has been on starting with last month's issue #5. She joins writer Mark Waid, colorists Andre Szymanowicz and Jen Vaughn, and letterer Jack Morelli. Issue #6 goes on sale next week, 2/17 and the cover is shown above.

I'm not sure if Jaime Hernandez has ever drawn the Archie characters "for reals" before, but it's a very well known fact that Archie artist Harry Lucey was a HUGE influence on both Hernandez Brothers.
