I've been following the Archie Gets Married storyline and all the developments so far that have transpired. I own Archie 601 and 602 which show the proposal and the subsequent wedding. At the end of Archie 601, Veronica drops the news on Archie after a long day at Lodge Enterprises that she's pregnant.
In Archie 602 we discover that Archie and Veronica become parents of fraternal twins. This issue focuses on the travails of parenthood on the couple and all of the ancillary issues it brings.
I'll have to leave y'all hanging in terms of what names Archie and Veronica chose for the twins and who they named as the godparents.
But as many of us noted, Archie went down one fork of Memory Lane. We know how his life is transpiring by choosing to marry Veronica.
While it was an upgrade in social status for Archie, it comes at a cost. He's struggling to handle a job he feels he's over his head in, but doesn't want to disappoint his father in law or his wife. But how would it have transpired if he had proposed and married Betty, and would he be happier in doing so?
Well, to the delight of Betty fans, we're about to find out.
The script is going to get flipped and show Archie proposing marriage to Betty in front of a stunned Veronica.
The fans of the Archie comics (and the TransGriot) made it overwhelmingly clear across the Net that Betty was the girl they wanted to see Archie get married to.
Knowing Archie's history of not being able to make up his mind between the two, and that there were three comic books left in the series, it was inevitable they were going to give us fans what we wanted to see and show the other side of this eternal love triangle.As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it, When one online poll on the Archie website I saw noted that 80% of the respondents wanted Betty and Archie to get married, it was inevitable this was going to happen.
Beginning with Archie 603, we'll see the flip side of the eternal love triangle.
Archie takes another walk down Memory Lane and this time takes the other fork in the road. That sets up the rest of the story arc that will unfold over Archie issues 604, 605 and 606.
We'll get to see Archie's proposal to Betty, their subsequent marriage and life with her.We'll also get to see if Veronica handles it with the class that Betty handled it when the pump was on the other foot.
I'm betting that Veronica's spoiled butt doesn't, but then again she may shock us.
But we'll see.
Hmm, this storyline is getting juicier by the minute. Looking forward to picking the rest of these issues up and seeing how this plays out.
