Archie Marries Veronica

Philadelphia Daily News:

Huffington Post: Yes, we know this is a comic book, but so many of us began our reading lives with them. The love triangle of our childhood has finally ended. Archie married Veronica when we all wanted it to be Betty. And apparently they now have twins. Supposedly the marriage is working, but the editor hints it might not last.

When it was first announced that Archie Andrews was putting an end to the most famous and enduring love triangle in comics by choosing to propose to sexy, savvy and rich Veronica instead of girl-next-door Betty, the shock waves were larger than even Archie Comics anticipated.

Why? Because even without a movie featuring the gang from Riverdale, Archie's name recognition and the affection readers have for him are broader and deeper than most comic fans realize.

So money can buy you love, even in comic books. How sad. I loved the comics as a young girl. Yes Veronica is pretty but even as a young girl she always seemed shallow to me. I am sad this is way the triangle turned out. Betty always treated him better.

Okay now back to reality.

I peeked at the comic. It's a look at a "possible future." Give 'em a few years, they'll give Betty her chance.

I always wanted Archie to end up with Veronica, but then I've always heard the beat of a different drummer. Congratulations!
