    Yes, it is Thursday, and that means it’s time for a look at Archie Comics titles arriving in stores next week.

    ARCHIE & FRIENDS #123
    “A Tune in Tinsel Town”: Now that the smoke has cleared and all the bad guys have been dispatched, Archie and his friends can finally concentrate on the film deal that brought them to Hollywood in the first place.  Citing the Archie’s popularity and the high profile of their adventures in Europe and Africa, a big-time Hollywood producer is certain the teens’ notoriety will translate to box office gold and plans to star them in a series of movies called “Mayhem Musical High.”  Now that they’ve saved half of Hollywood’s biggest stars (see issue 122), the kids are even hotter properties!  Along with that red-hotness comes offers of solo contracts for the players.  Will visions of individual fame and fortune strike a sour chord with the band, or can the Archies’ love of music and friendship ultimately overcome ego and greed?
