Archie Comic and iVerse Media has announced that Archie Comics iPhone Apps can now be downloaded. Archie fanatics can now download the very first time Archie landed on Riverdale High.

Archie Is Geting Married to Veronica!

Friday, June 19th, 2009


Yes, you heard it right! Archie is getting married to Veronica and Betty, well is still pretty and nice. Finally, the love triangle of Betty, Veronica and Archie has come to a halt which was the main story of Archie comics.

Hopefully Betty is handling the wedding thing fine. I personally did not imagine that Archie will end up proposing to Veronica since she is a high-maintenance and rich girl while Archie is the exact opposite. But still you cannot tell who your heart will love and this is proven by Archie's love story.

But wait, do not expect everything to go smoothly especially wedding preparations are a bit nasty. Veronica, as I have mentioned is high-maintenance and wants everything to be perfect. She also plans on getting Betty as her maid of honor! Oh no! How will Betty handle all this? Will she accept the offer or will she just stay at home and mope over the whole wedding situation?

So this is definitely going to be very interesting when the August issue of Archie comics will be released. For sure, there are a lot of things you do not want to miss in the biggest wedding in Riverdale. There will still be a lot of twist in the story and we still have yet to know the final ending in Archie's love story. Will it be a happy ending or not?
