"Beginning this April, the Archie family of comic books will be available digitally on the same day the physical books are released.\nThe digital books will be coming to fans via Graphic.ly, the comic-focused startup that's shaking up the way consumers interact with comic books and graphic novels.\nGraphic.ly is offering digital access for the six core titles in the Archie series, including Archie, Archie and Friends, Betty, Veronica, Betty and Veronica and Jughead. The comics will be available for $1.99 per book.\nIn a release, Archie Co-CEO Jon Goldwater said, \"When we announced plans to go day-and-date through our own, standalone app, our friends at Graphic.ly immediately reached out and said 'We want to do this, too.'\"\n\"They've been so professional, easy to work with and innovative in everything they do, it took less than a minute to agree,\" he said. \"We like and respect the team at Graphic.ly and are excited to get more creative and forward-looking in the work we do with them. As always, Archie will continue to push forward on digital and lead the charge into this new frontier.\u201D\nLikewise, Graphic.ly CEO Micah Baldwin said, \"Archie Comics are an institution, and we're proud to be able to offer them to our community, especially now that their titles are going day-and-date. We consider the team behind Archie Comics to be a big part in what we've been doing at Graphic.ly, and I personally can't wait to see what more great things will come from our partnership.\"\nUsers can get a glimpse of what the future holds at the Archie page on Graphic.ly, where you can currently purchase older Archie titles for $0.99.\nGraphic.ly recently announced it had raised a $3 million Series A for its work, which in the future will likely revolve around \"bonus features\" for popular comics and graphic novels. \nThe company has released desktop and web apps, as well as free apps for iPad and iPhone. An Android application is in the works."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
