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.

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.

Just in time for her selection as comics industry Person of the Year, Noelle Stevenson has been announced as the creator of the key art for the 2016 MoCCA Arts Festival. MoCCA and Stevenson go back a ways: back in 2013 her student piece "Knight of Swords" was featured in MoCCA's Student Scholarship Competition. Stevenson was just a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art at the time. She's gone on to become a regular exhibitor at MoCCA, and hopefully in 2016 as well.

It's no secret that Fargo Season 2 is better than Season 1, which was already great, and it's one of the best shows on TV even in this Golden Age.

And I predict all the amazing plot twists and characters - the inept yet driven Blumqists, Lou Solverson in his burgundy pants, Nick Offerman's eloquent drunk lawyer, the vengeful Gerhardt family, led by the unforgettable woman named Floyd, Hanzee the unstoppable hit man, and of course, Mike Milligan and the Kitchen Brothers—will provide fodder for fan art and even cosplay for a while. And Nick Sumida (Snaackies, Harvey Beaks) has kicked things off on Instagram.
