What a great month for Digests!
-New stories continue in the Digests like they did last month. You get more new stories in all 5 of this months scheduled Digests.
-Two Digests will be 288 page Jumbo Comics Digests listed below.
-One of the Jumbo Digests, Betty and Veronica Jumbo #228 will have 2 brand new stories instead of one like other Digests.
-Two of the Digests will be Christmas themed issues. I absolutely love the Christmas themed Digests and these always put me in the Holiday mood when they are released.
-1 Digest will be a 192 page Comics Annual
-The Comics Annual and Jumbo Comics Digests are always my favorite because they have more pages and the Archie Vault section which has classic Archie comics from the 50's.
-More pages in the Digests is always good for me and this month will definitely be worth getting all these wonderful Digests with new stories!
-Some of these issues show possible release dates but make take a little longer as Digests and comics have taken up two weeks beyond what is shown on the release dates below.
