One of the longest running love triangles may be about to come to an end.

Comicbook legend Archie Andrews is going to propose to Veronica later this year, according to Archie Comics' official website. It's promoting the release of Archie issue number 600, due to go on sale Sept. 8. The website tells fans to prepare themselves for the Archie story they thought they'd never see.

The competition between Veronica and Betty for Archie's attention has been the cornerstone of Archie Comics for 65 years.

The Archie website is calling it the "the Archie Story of the Century."

The website shows an image of the issue with a blue suited Archie on one knee in front of a beaming Veronica with a caption that reads "yes."

Betty is teary-eyed and pal Jughead looks stunned.

One comment posted on the website indicated that Archie is marrying the wrong girl.

"Personally I think he should marry Betty," a person named Kelly posted.

"She is cuter, more down to earth and not as flighty as Veronica."

Betty won't do it up the butt.

What? Did Jughead tell you that?

ThreadCula said:

STUPID.

That's just layers of wrong! I didn't like Veronica when I was 10, and now some 28 years on I still don't like that heffa

in 25 years, Archie will make a deal with the devil and it'll all end up a bad dream. then we'll get Archie 3 times a month.

*snaps fingahs and rolls neck* uh uh honey....tho I loves me some Roni, Betty is the chica for him.

This issue fast forwards into the future five years I believe.

Ottensen said:

10....then add 28 years.....

IAintTheOne said:

The better question is: do people still buy them?

Poor Jughead will be brokenhearted.

I prefer Archie marrying Betty

I must be the only one rooting for Veronica.

Like most of you I like Betty better, but I could never stand how she let Archie walk all over her. Baking cookies, doing his chores, writing his essays for him, washing his car....and for what? "Thanks, pal"

Chores should be 50/50

At least with Veronica ol' Jeeves could be doing the work.

this is just all kinds of no,no,no.

here's MY alterante scenario:

veronica marries reggie (birds of a feather)

but, before marrying him...she gets her ya ya's out by having a fling with jughead(anybody here remember the issue where he got to kiss her?)..and, despite herself and her protests of being repulsed by him,....desire lurks just beneath the surface.

One of my favorite comics ever..but that is messed up!!!

What??? Well if he chose Veronica then he doesn't deserve Betty...she's the smart nice one.

Archie is an idiot. Drools all over some rich bitch, ignores the cute, nice girl, and is oblivious to the fact that his best friend is gay and has some horrific eating disorder.
