Archie Comics Fan Forum

Ok, reviving, and reposting, a popular topic I posted back before the Server Purge destroyed things.


I have a theory that there is more than one Archie in the Archie Multiverse.  Now with the 2015 reboot, it's time to categorize and talk about the question at hand-Is there an Archie Multiverse, and if there is, what are the worlds? Maybe one day, ACP can do a Worlds Unite-like storyline in which Memory Lane acts like a Stargate or incorporate the use of Genesis Portals (from the Sonic and Mega Man comics) to travel to those worlds.

You believe this is a hypothetical concept (that there is more than one different Archie in multiple universes)?

Um... have you read THE MARRIED LIFE?


Why don't you read THIS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_universes_in_Archie_Comics) to start with, then we can talk.

Yeah, there's a multiverse. Pretty much Ambrose and Fred Mirth are the only versions of themselves so they can travel between the universes.

Like the old Little Archie when they had these weird adventures that was thought to be their imagination. That was just a young Ambrose using his powers without knowing.

In one issue, to stop Marries-Veronica verse evil Dilton, Ambrose summons nearly every version of Archie there has been.

Don't forget there was the Bolling story where teenage Ambrose returns to Riverdale, too.


Sometimes I just think there's a Bollingverse-Archie that's different - which includes both Little Archie and whatever other regular Archie stories Bolling did, like that weird one where Fred Andrews gets mugged (his head is slammed against a concrete wall) and then he meets a ghost (or a hallucination brought on by his concussion). It's a pretty strange ending with a battered and bedraggled Fred who hauls himself out of the river and walks home (he took his car to the Veterans' reunion) with his clothes all torn and his head bruised and Mary barely says a thing about it. Probably any story Bolling wrote, regardless of who drew it. Those stories just seem to operate on a different logic than other Archie stories, for the most part.
