Rich Girls Always Win

In the 600th issue of Archie Comics, Archie Andrews finally picks his lady after almost 70 years of debate. On May 15th, the comic's website announced that Archie would be getting engaged. Word got out today via New York Post that he chooses Veronica in the issue titled "The Proposal: Part 1 of 6".

The Archie gals posted about the engagement via blogs on the comic's website. On Wednesday Veronica wrote on her blog:

"I am so excited, I am getting Married to Archie. There is so much to do, so many plans to make. I wonder if Betty wants to be my Maid of Honor? I bet she is so happy for me!(((Hugs))) Ronnie"

In reponse, Betty's blog, titled "The saddest girl in the world" simply states:

"I am so sad, I don't even know what to say. Xoxoxoxo Bets"

To tell you the truth, I'm not really in shock. Archie constantly ditched Betty for Ron; her evil ways always won him over. And let's not forget about Cheryl Blossom. When the "Love Showdown" issue came out - which by the way I still am mad about never reading - I totally called that she was going to be the obvious opt-out.

Remember that the cover can be deceiving, it's only the first of six issues and anything can happen! What I think would work is a storyline between one of the girls and Jughead. How much more interesting would that be? Just saying.

If you're still hungry.. from msnbc.com:

"In the story, Archie has finally graduated from Riverdale High School; in fact, he’s five years older and a college graduate. He may even have — gasp! — an actual job when he gets engaged."

Weird.
