"To us, this is just another chance to tell a great story. The fans want more Archie/Valerie – they ask about it at shows and everywhere we go. Like we did with the best-selling LIFE WITH ARCHIE, where Archie marries Veronica and Betty, we thought it'd be interesting to show a future where Archie marries Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats and the life they lead together.

I can't really speak to whatever issues some people might have with them getting married or having a child. Like Kevin Keller's wedding – it's not an issue in Riverdale. Riverdale welcomes everyone and always will. For us, it's about telling a great story involving two wonderful characters and how they interact. The fans have asked for it and we're making it happen." -  Jon Goldwater, Archie CEO

  • Valerie's left-handed?

  • Well...she hasn't been in the past...but maybe she is in one of the "Archie marries..." universes.

  • So, what, are they eventually going to do stories where Archie marries every girl that ever passed through Riverdale?

  • Not just girls.  In 2013, he'll be marrying the Punisher, and every member of KISS.

  • I'm for it! Left handed people need some representation, we only make up about 10% of the population. Ok I just looked it up and we make up 15% of the population. Whatever it is, there's not a lot of us.

     

    Actually, are there any comic characters that have been identified at some point as left-handed? I doesn't make a difference, I'd just be interested in knowing.

    Yes, but they are all BAD. [/Schwarzenneger voice]

  • Dunno if he's meant to be left-handed, but as a southpaw myself, the fact that Green Lantern Alan Scott wears his power ring on his left hand was one of the things that I always liked about the character.

  • Oh, I'd definitely buy THAT book!

      Maybe Betty and Veronica will finally be able to settle down and get married now.

  • Insert the "raising eyebrows up and down" smiley!
