Five Reasons Why Archie Will Not Marry Veronica
So are you buying all the buzz that perennial bachelor Archie Andrews will actually tie the knot with Veronica Lodge? Sure, the evidence looks incriminating. Archie #600 shows Archie down on one knee, putting a ring on the finger of Veronica, while a surprised Jughead and a weeping Betty look on from outside the window.
However, looks can be deceiving. We have confidence that Archie will not give up the sweet life of bachelorhood. Jughead Jones would sooner give up hamburgers and become a vegetarian than Archie Andrews would walk down the aisle. Here are our top five reasons why the Archie Andrews and Veronica Lodge wedding will not actually happen.
Archie Andrews To Marry The Money
For sixty-five years, Archie Andrews has been caught in a love triangle with rich vixen Veronica Lodge and girl next door Betty Cooper. In an event more surprising than the death of Superman, Archie Andrews is finally going to stop playing the field and propose. When left with the choice between a nice girl that will worship the ground he walks on and a wealthy girl that he will be able to freeload off of for the rest of his life, what choice does Archie Andrews make?
Of course, Archie goes for the money. In the landmark Archie #600, Archie is shown on the cover proposing to Veronica Lodge. Archie Comics is billing the event as the “Archie Story of the Century.” The official title of the issue is “Archie Marries Veronica Part 1: The Proposal.” The storyline is being promoted as being told in six parts, so there are sure to be plenty of twists and turns before it is revealed if Archie and Veronica actually make it to the alter.
