    Betty Vs Veronica: The Choice Has Been Made

    Not he biggest Archie fan, but he is pretty iconic. I don't even have a Betty or Veronica preference now that I think about it.I got this press release today-

    THIS AUGUST, PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE ARCHIE STORY YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D SEE, AS ARCHIE IS GETTING MARRIED!

    The eternal love triangle is the cornerstone of Archie Comics for over 65 years—and the bane of Archie Andrews' existence! In fact, over the years it has not only defined the Betty/Archie/Veronica relationship, but has even threatened to dismantle it a time or 20.

    In fact, we’ll even go so far as to call it the ARCHIE STORY OF THE CENTURY. With a title like “Archie Gets Married Part 1: The Proposal,” how could we call it anything else?!

    Could it be true? Has Archie finally decided to take the plunge and propose to one of comics’ favorite girls? It sure looks that way! Earlier this year readers got a chance to relive “Freshman Year” with the famous teens of Riverdale High. Now make way for this special story that takes a look at Archie and his friends after they graduate college! What careers will they seek? Will the friends stay in Riverdale or disperse? What would lead Archie to have marriage on his mind? And who would he choose Veronica or Betty? How will Betty react? How will Veronica react? Can Archie shake off his klutzy past and hold down a steady job… for more than a month? One thing is certain: this will be the biggest Archie Comics story ever!

    Acclaimed superhero movie producer Michael Uslan draws upon his lifelong love of Archie comic books to write this very special tale, rendered by legendary Archie Comics artist Stan Goldberg! The Archie story of the century begins here… don’t miss it!

      Hmmmm....

      It's definitely gonna have a weird ending.... maybe Jughead punches out reality and it all resets.... I think it's kinda sad that with a story like this Archie is flirting with the proliferation of comic non-events that have plagued the superheroes for the last decade or two.

                  It'll be a case of "Big Love" and he'll marry both and move to Utah, or Saudi Arabia...

                      Gotta go with Betty- she's the family kind. I myself would choose Josie.

                        I'd go for Mary-Ann myself.

                          Anyone remember a live-action TV movie version of Archie that took place at their high school reunion? Or am I nuts?

                          Betty is the only real choice. Veronica is too nasty. Josie or Sabrina would be good substitutes though!

                            I remember the tv movie. Aired in the early nineties and had the guy who played Reba McIntyre's ex-husband on her tv show as Archie. It wasnt bad. Wasnt good either, but it was entertaining. Kinda wish network tv movies of the week would try stuff like this again. We need a Magnum reunion movie, A-Team, etc, etc.....

                            I agree with Thunderbolt, it'll be like the old DC stories and we will only see a back shot of the wife Archie chooses...she will have brown hair so nobody can figure out who she is?

                            Actually, the way things are these days, it might turn out to be Dilton Doiley....Wouldnt that push Archie comics onto the news front for a day or two!?
