Who can forget Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and the rest of the Riverdale crew? Though it’s likely been a while since you peeked into the comic characters’ lives, big things have been happening to them. In May, the Archie blog informed us that issue #600 was about to make a big announcement: The lovable redhead was going to propose to one of his two leading ladies! After 65 years of enduring the stressful yet hilarious love triangle, Mr. Andrews was finally making a decision. He’s been to approximately 42 high school proms at this point, so who can blame him?
The story is set to unfold in six issues, the first of which went on sale Sep 8 and revealed that he chose Veronica as his bride. As a lifelong Betty supporter, I’m devastated. Bets and Jughead both looked pretty confused, too, so I’m hoping it’s just a mix up—a bad dream, perhaps, or a blackmail ploy from Mr. Lodge. In any case, I’m excited to see what happens on Monday, when issue #2, “The Proposal,” goes on sale. Think ol’ Arch will reconsider?
