Beginning in August, with Archie #600, writer Michael Uslan and artist Stan Goldberg present "Archie Gets Married." In Part 1, the red-headed college graduate proposes, but whether it's to Betty, Veronica, or some other female interest has yet to be revealed. Along the way, readers will also see what the other members of Archie's large cast are doing several years in the future.
Archie #600 is scheduled to ship to comics shops Aug. 19 and newsstands Sept. 8. The 32-page issue retails for $2.50.

But it wouldn't be the first time Mr. Andrews had a lapse in judgment!

My guess would be a wild card; none of the above.
As every Archieologist knows, Archie comics hinge on the eternal triangle of Betty loves Archie, Archie loves Veronica, and Veronica loves herself.
So I figure they'll pitch us a curve ball.

| Posted: 5/28/2009 5:15:17 AM | UPDATE: Apparently, the six-part marriage arc is going to be more of a "What If" scenario with the first three issues exploring what would happen if Archie married Veronica and the second half doing the same with an Archie/Betty marriage.
