kumble_rocks Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Veronica over Betty - What a sellout ! http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/books/05/28/comic.book.archie.marrying/index.html?section=cnn_latest Comic suspense: Archie Andrews pops question (CNN) -- "Jughead, do you want to be my best man?" comic book character Archie asks on his blog. The marriage issue is due to arrive at comic stores in August and on newsstands in September. The marriage issue is due to arrive at comic stores in August and on newsstands in September. Archie Andrews -- who spent decades in high school, flirting with girl-next-door Betty Cooper and heiress-next-door Veronica Lodge -- is getting married. "I am so excited, I am getting Married to Archie. There is so much to do, so many plans to make. I wonder if Betty wants to be my Maid of Honor? I bet she is so happy for me!" Veronica writes on her blog. Yup, Archie is marrying Veronica, breaking Betty's heart. "I am so sad, I don't even know what to say," Betty writes on her blog. Betty has months to dry her tears. The marriage issue is due to arrive at comic stores in August and on newsstands in September, according to publisher Archie Comic Publications (archiecomics.com). "It's the milestone 600th issue and we're serving up the Archie story of the century as Archie marries Veronica!!!" the publisher says on its Web site. "The 32-page issue 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!" Archie might be in over his head. According to Veronica's online profile, "She is very conceited, usually fickle, and extremely flirtatious." He went for the bad girl instead of Betty. Her online profile says, "Through every crazy, loving scheme to win Archie's love, Betty always remains completely unaffected, loyal and sweet." Maybe Archie will come to his senses. His online profile says, "He does things on the spur of the moment, which almost always gives him a very keen cause for regret."
kumble_rocks Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 I have to admit growing up I used to be a fan of Archie comics and that Jughead( who probably is gay) used to be my favorite character.
Lurker Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 i am heart broken. How can he ditch Betty for Veronica :((
suraj Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 If I was Archie' date=' I would have gone for Midge.[/quote'] I would have married Betty but have veronica as the mistress
Zap_Brannigan Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 It just might be a most practical choice. Veronica as wife for the money and Betty on the side. Archie grew up finally. But i have a feeling that they are just milking the franchise since it has almost been forgotten for a long time. Archie is only getting engaged for now and they are gonna run with that for a few issues.Maybe after some time, he will break the engagement and go on to marry betty. Clearly, that's what the fans want.
nikred Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 If I was Archie' date=' I would have gone for Midge.[/quote'] You wouldn't want to with Moose around.:nervous: As a kid I used to rent out all the Archie comic books from this little library that was near my home. Betty is my favorite character.:icflove:
