Oh, Ronnie. Making Betty your maid of honor was just cruel.
Waiting for the logical follow up where Arch takes the OTHER road and married Betty
I was idly wondering whether DC still publishes imaginary tales. A Google search brought up DC’s GREATEST IMAGINARY STORIES, which was reviewed in School Library Journal. The contrast between SLJ’s tepid review and the enthusiastic reader reviews is interesting.
As for the marriage: If the characters were extrapolated to real life, Mr. Lodge wouldn’t tolerate the marriage for a day. He’d have Veronica involuntarily committed and the marriage annulled. I can’t imagine Archie Andrews having sex with anyone at any time. The character isn’t real enough. It’d be like someone writing a Peanuts strip that had the kids in a sex education class.
SRS
Mr. Lodge dispossesses Veronica, who is forced into a middle-American existence. They have two kids, a dog named Daisy…. oh, wait, that’s already happened.
Where was I? Well, first I was reading Blackest Night #3, and then chuckling over the recent Dark Reign: MODOK tie-in.
At some point in the near future, Veronica will turn full-metal harpy and a miserable Archie Andrews will make a deal with the devil to make all like it never happened.
On a related note: following the Kanye West kerfuffle, I was compelled to watch the video for which Taylor Swift won her VMA and, I gotta tell ya, if they ever make a live-action Archie movie, Swift is the only choice to play Betty and Veronica.
That’s just me. I could be wrong. But I’m not.
“Where were you on the day Archie married Veronica?”
Standing with everyone else – waiting to catch Betty on the rebound.
Only Archie Andrews could turn what should be a once-in-a-lifetime moment into yet another reason to want to punch him the face.
What is Reggie about to grab???
From the looks of it, Moose.
Archie finally marries Zenobia, er Veronica??
Goodman Beaver would be so proud of him!
Man, that art sucks. Isn’t there a rule about not drawing the Archie characters in profile? The composition is terrible too.
Blackeye;
The interior art isn’t much better. At one point, Reggie came in and if Archie hadn’t called him by name, I would have had no idea who it was. You’d think with a project this high-profile, they’d try to stay more on-model.
What? Weren’t Al Plastino and Murphy Anderson available?
Mephisto will take care of this.
