Great book, love the fact that they added both sides of the story, but definitely on "Team Betty" In her story Jughead and Midge end up together, Mr. Weatherbee and Mrs. Grundy start dating, and Veronica and Reggie get there happy ending as well. But in Veronica's side of the story, Betty gets really depressed when Archie leaves her, loses her job and her new boyfriend, then ends up settling for Reggie(a couple I don't think works very well). Betty Cooper is the obvious choice being the lovable
Heard great things from the Wordballoon podcast about this story so I picked it up and finished in two short sittings. My oldest daughter zipped through it in one sitting. I haven't read an Archie story since I was a kid and the only story I can remember is one where Jughead improved an ice cream flavor with salt and pepper shakers. Anyway, this is a decent all ages reading, but it's odd how the pop culture references go all the back from Cary Grant, Casablanca, and I love Lucy to modern celebs
Archie Andrews' what if future married life was put in print on this book. It's brilliant how the author used Robert Frost's poem 'The road not taken' to internalize the drama and flow of the story. Basically it's the story of Archie's future had he married Betty or Veronica but this story is just a view of it and it isn't real as I thought. There was just a use of a time-travelling machine somewhere down the road to Memory Lane.I shall follow the other wedding related books of Archie. This is h...
Mildly amusing.Favourite actual line of dialogue from Betty's dad: "Betty... you deserve a big wedding, but we've lost our savings in the stock market... and I may be laid off..." Way to hijack the moment, Mr. Cooper!
Don't judge me. I needed closure from my childhood! Shut up!
This would be something that only Archie fans would enjoy as both stories are pretty bland.Robert Frost's The Road Less Traveled is featured as Archie gets his HEA with both of the girls of his dreams by going down Memory Lane. Twice.In two alternate futures, Archie explores the biggest What If of his life.And for him it all comes up roses either way.Even though I thought it was supposed to show both couples equally, the only way everyone in Riverdale ended up with a Happily Ever After of th...
So very weak and disappointing. I recall reading about this series and how it was the Archie company's attempt to hook more sophisticated twentysomethings who had grown up reading the comics and now wanted something a little more mature. This is a big fail, because both stories were crap.
When I heard about this big event, I knew I had to read the story. I was an Archie fan as a kid. The hardcover edition is really nice and has a bunch of interviews in the back. Don't worry about Archie finally aging after the better part of a century--this is a what-if scenario, so Archie and friends will in all likelihood remain perpetual teenagers in the main comics storyline. "Archie Marries..." is a frame story in which Archie travels up Memory Lane twice, going into his own future where he
The Archie Wedding was a very cute book. I enjoyed reading about two versions of Archie's future. ~ Koala ^-^
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Archie Andrews married Veronica Lodge? What if he married Betty Cooper? Why settle for just one answer when you can have both? Using the good ol' Memory Lane device, Michael Uslan and Stan Goldberg investigate both options and give each of them a three-issue arc all combined in a single trade paperback complete with a volume seven wrap-up. Is it Pulitzer material? Oh heck no. But it is certainly very typical Archie fare right down to cheesy dialogue. B...
Archie walks up Memory Lane and experiences two possible futures, one where he marries Veronica and one where he marries Betty.The Betty vs. Veronica debate has been raging since Archie debuted in the 1940s, even though it's obvious Betty is the superior choice. Anyway, I wasn't reading Archie comics when this came out but Archie was having a massive 55% off sale so I snapped it up.Rooted in Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken, Archie's on the cusp of graduating high school when he goes for a stro...
Betty and Elizabeth Wakefield are the same person.
I've been an Archie fan for years and years so like most of the world that noticed, I was surprised by this what if concept. Initially, Archie comics only announced that Archie would marry Veronica setting off a media maelstorm. Actually, the story looks at what might happen if Archie married either girl.My biggest complaint about the book is that it is so short and clippy. Archie Comics may have done this on purpose since they have started a whole new comic Life With Archie that follows the sam...
This book took me back to my childhood :) For those of you who have read Archie comics, you know that Archie's laid back, non-decision making personality will not change! This book was no different. Archie and his friends are about to graduate high school and Archie gets glimpses into his future with both Betty and Veronica. He sees what his life would be like if he married Veronica, and what it would be like if he married Betty. The ending is pretty predictable but it was a quick, enjoyable rea...
Archie Is Married. Now The Real Story Begins. Twice.I have always been a Betty person. Every Archie story I have ever enjoyed has me cheering for them to finally get together and leave Veronica pouting. My long standing wish has been partially granted in the past few years with the newest incarnation of these beloved characters. And I am totally and completely hooked.The drama all started when the new CEO of Archie came into the 70 plus year old company and wanted to shake the universe up. This
In this book we finally get to find out what happens when Archie marries... and it gives us both scenarios of marrying Betty and Veronica. However, both stories made me feel bad for Betty! When Archie marries Veronica Betty is obviously heartbroken. And even when he marries Betty, it still seems like he only did so because he didn't have a chance with Veronica. He even tells Ronnie "you're my fantasy girl, but all it is is a fantasy" and then has to watch her marry Reggie and jet set all over th...
No real reason for the rating except that I love the Archie comics. And while I was convinced his relationship with Betty wasn’t given justice I still loved this enough to buy the hardcover edition. 🤯My only compliant - I wish Betty got more of a fair shake here.
Since I was young I love to read Archie comics. My favorite editions are Betty and Veronica. I find them very entertaining, how they fight over Archie and how they manage to still be friends even though they like the same guy. I’m fascinated also with the illustrations and the fashion they project to show their personalities. Maybe that’s the fun part when you are reading a comic book, it shows you what you really need to see and get just by looking at it. In years that I’m reading Archie comics...
I picked this up on a whim from my library, mostly because I was a big fan when I was a kid. Some things should just stay in childhood, however. As an adult I didn't find either Betty or Veronica inspirational, I found them lacking in self-respect and kindness, respectively. Archie lost his glimmer too--now he just seems to be an indecisive woman-juggler. Even my beloved Jughead didn't get to pig out like he did in the old days; only once did I notice him doing so, and it was more disgusting tha...
When year end is coming and you have not finished your reading challenge, you're cheating by reading comics.Just kiddin' =))) Archie has been my favourite comics ever since I was a kid yet in Vietnam they only published 20 volumes, left me desparate staving for Archie for, let's say, more than 10 years. And now I found millions chapter of Archie here on the internet and I'm afraid that I will never finish them =)))Though I'm Betty team, it's nice to read about Archie's wedding with Ronnie and Be...
