For all you Archie fans out there this is THE Archie comic for you. Now you can buy each comic of Archie Marries... separately but I highly advise you to buy the book. There's a book you ask. Yes they put together all the comics, along with interviews of the amazing-talented people that create Archie, and some other nice treats into a wonderful book. As great as the comic is it self, all the extra tidbits were what made the book awesome. If your a fan of Archie this the book for you.
Now if you haven't heard and you don't want to know don't read on because I'm afraid I'm going to give away some spoilers.
SPOILERS BELOW
Now in Archie Marries... they marry Archie off to both Betty and Veronica (WHAT!?!?!?!) Yes I know sounds ridiculous. But Archie one day walks up Memory Lane and instead of memories it fortells his future and there are two paths so he goes down one and on the path he marries Veronica. Now of course Betty is devestated but she gets over it and is happy for Archie and Veronica. Mr.Lodge gives Archie a job and he works hard and doesn't mess up (amazing I know). Oh one part that I was surprised at was when Archie and Veronica are on their honeymoon there talking and they walk into their bedroom and all they show is the doors and hearts all around. I was like, "WHAT!" because I mean I know thats what people do on their honeymoon but I mean its Archie do they really need to include this. I don't think so. Okay anyways Veronica gets pregnant because you know they made hearts (hahaha) and they have twins one that looks like Archie and one that looks like Veronica and of course they name them after themselves. Oh and at one point Mr.Lodge wants to give his most prized possesion to his grandchild and Smithers was like you want to give your stocks and rambles off some other things and Mr.Lodge was like, "No! My childhood sled (I know you know whats coming next) ROSEBUDDY!" And I cringed I mean I know Archie comics often make references and change the name slightly but really must you reference Citizen Kane and Rosebud. This just made me cringe.
Okay so now of course Archie should choose Betty if he had any brains but they show what it would be like if he married either one of them. Now the Betty version I didn't really like. When Archie chooses Betty at one point it seems like he wants to choose Veronica. And when he chooses Betty throughout there marriage she is constitantly worry Archie is still in love with Veronica. I mean girl get some self-esteem and stop worrying I mean if you think like that after he chooses you finally after all these years then he's going to leave you! And there are a couple of instances like this that bothered me. And of course when Betty gets pregnant she has twins that are a spitting image of the happy couple. Oh and also in this version they show what happens to the rest of the gang and wait for it Jughead is married. Now I know your thinking he must have given into Ethel. Nope. Not even close. He marries.......................................MIDGE! I know I was shocked as well. Moose is now all zen and peaceful and Ron and Reggie get married. And when Veronica finds out she is such a bitch (pardon my language) but she really is. I mean in the end she smartens up and lets them be but I mean really mean. Betty is devasted sure but trys to be happy but not Veronica. I mean yes thats there characters but I was mad at how Veronica reacted so badly. Now I'm done my summary and my rant. (:
SPOILERS DONE!
So overall I throughly enjoyed but some places I disagreed. But hey people are going to disagree. So go out a buy the book version because the extras make it so worth it.
& tell me what you think if you've read it.
