ARCHIE ANDREWS IS GETTING MARRIED!
« on: May 15, 2009, 09:12:05 PM »
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!

Is that the real cover, or just a foil?  I can't see the cover of Archie #600 being that plain...

What a great idea for a milestone issue!  It'll certainly get some mainstream coverage!

I'm interested where this is going...Archie obviously can't get married unless it was a fantasy sequence, or a story that takes place in the future.  And Archie can't walk down the aisle with either Betty or Veronica, because that would be seen as him finally choosing one or the other.

And as ACF27 alluded to, they've already done the Cheryl Blossom thing!  :)

Can't wait to read this!

I agree.

Nonetheless, it would be interesting!

Sure Archie can get married! Then he can make a deal with Mephisto to have it erased from continuity.  (A little in-joke for Spider-Man fans.)

Stupidest.

Story.

Ever.

It'll be a cold day in Hellsinki before I buy another Marvel comic. They have so jumped the shark inthe last 5 years that their line and characters are virtually unrecognizable...

Back to the topic, I'm eagerly awaiting this book. I'm hoping ArchieCo had the guts to have Archie choose! Now THAT would be worth celebrating!

I bet it would be a dream or something... OR he would choose a girl other than Betty or Veronica.

Well....needless to say - I'm pretty excited about this story.  It's not going to be an easy one to pull off, but it's appropriate for this issue.

Obviously, this is a HUGE PR opportunity for Archie Comics!  The media is going to jump all over this one and I think we, as Archie fans can help!

Do what you can to talk this one up!
Get people reading Archie!
It's self-serving - more readers, more Archie books, more stories - we can help!

Rik is going to be a very busy boy!

Some things I am going to do:

1) phone local comic shops and ask if they are taking reservations on the Archie proposal issue.  If they say "no" then I'll say "thanks - I have to find one!".  If they say "yes" then say "cool! I just need to figure out how many I want"   :)  

2) check-out facebook and other social sites.  Post comments.  More comments, more buzz.

3) save Betty & Veronica Spectacular  :)   You KNEW I was going to add that.  Seriously though - this title needs to be available to help the buzz and project the image that Archie Comics aren't just the same-old/same-old.  They are new and exciting!

I'm excited to see who it is.  I'm even more excited to discuss how much I love/hate the decision.

No matter where I go, there I am.  Creepy.

Too bad Neil Gaiman isn't on this book :)

Did you read his recent 2-part Detective story - brilliant.  Not really "Archie" like, but I'd love to see him have a hand at it.

We should be placing bets as to who Mrs. Archie will be.

The cynic in me thinks there's NO WAY ArchieCo would have Archie choose between BnV, and Cheryl's already been done. So I'm guessing it'll be someone out of the blue. Outside longshot bets then:

1.Ethel based on their one great date together (Riverdale High #8)

2.Josie of Josie and the Pussycats, cause they have so much in common

3.Sabrina, 'cause she could help him more than Veronica or Betty could-- kind of like the Riverdale version of 'Bewitched'

4.Melody just cause that could be lots of fun

I thought about Marcy, Bridgette, Ginger, Nancy, Valerie and Maria -- each discounted for reason or another.

thoughts, all?

Actually, Ethel would be a choice way out of left field.  But I remember that story well, and I thought it was a nice one.
