I disagree. The love triangle is not the "bloodline" of Archie Comics. It's the venom that's infecting the bloodline. Seriously, I roll my eyes whenever I come across a love triangle story. Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl should all just get over Archie. There are plenty of other story ideas that can be used to keep the series going.

I take it you roll your eyes a lot then.

Face it, Mark.  The triangle will not go away!!!  It will haunt your dreams and your nightmares!  It's worse than the Bermuda Triangle...it's the RIVERDALE TRIANGLE!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He also really loves Betty.  Just in a different way.

Archie comics are always going to be family friendly and stay pretty "tame".  However, there are different types of men and women in the world.  Most are a mix of nice and bad together.  We all have our faults and things that also make us nice.

So - what "attracts" us to one or another "type"?  I think that we look for the balance and Betty represents what we think of as nice, while Veronica trends towards the nasty. 

Archie really loves both of them.

So, if there was a Beronica or a Vetty in town - Archie would be set!

(Cheryl represents a completely different type of girl - but let's keep it "PG" here

i think archie is kind of a butthead if he loves them both.  (and the girls are silly for letting him get away with it) and if he really loved them both he would pick one and let the other go free.  and yet, I still kinda want the love triangle.  i'm confused!

and actually, I don't think veronica is a bad person. and actually I admire the fact that veronica likes him and not someone hotter, richer, and cooler.  (of course it could just be because she has him wrapped around her finger)  but I think betty is nicer.  i'd rather if one of them had to have their heart broken that it would be veronica.  and I'd rather betty leave archie, then archie leave betty. 

anyway, I do admit that i'm very interested in reading this.

true...but the love triangle is going to be way different now we that we know who he's marrying.

i still think there's a catch.

I agree with, it wouldn't be an Archie comic with out some twist down the road.  Specifically the part of him marrying Veronica.  The company shot themselves for announcing it to the public instead of everyone buying it and reading it.  Also I've read an interesting post on another website concerning this story, won't post unless asked or I can PM.

yes please post it.  inquiring minds want to know.

lol...I think many people are buttheads as teenagers *raises hand* just in different ways

lol, that was funny

Okay, the idea that I had read was that there will be two weddings.  One for Veronica and one for Betty.  Now having both girls get weddings is a good decision because that way everybody wins and you keep the question of who he ultimately chooses up in the air, and of course you make fools of every major media outlet who excitedly said Archie was getting marries. Down side of course is that you get two some what similar story lines and if its ever decided to carry on stories after the weddings you need to create two separate stories again.
