Archie: The Married Life Book 3

By Paul Kupperberg and Fernando Ruiz ( Ruiz, Fernando ) [A07], Pat Kennedy (Kennedy, Pat) [A07], Tim Kennedy

Featuring the headline-grabbing, Eisner Award-nominated, and sold-out wedding of Kevin Keller, Archie's most popular character in years, Archie: The Married Life Book 3 explores Archie Andrews' life down two paths--if he had married girl-next-door Betty Cooper or wealthy socialite Veronica Lodge. In this volume, things really start getting interesting, as the mysterious Dilton Doiley subplots that have been bubbling just below the surface since the series' beginning start to affect... well, everything!

Nothing is ever simple for Archie Andrews! In the Archie Marries Veronica storyline, the title relationship is facing some serious struggles. On the Archie Marries Betty side, Archie's trying to juggle more than his share of responsibilities... will he drop the ball? And in both storylines, Dilton and Ambrose are bringing some shocking, reality-shaking revelations to light that affect everyone in Riverdale... and possibly the world.

Archie: The Married Life Book 3 collects issues 13-18 of the popular newsstand publication Life with Archie Magazine!

Reviews for Archie

[burnit99 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A pretty weird group of stories that verge into science-fiction as Paul Kupperberg unites the "Archie Marries Betty" and "Archie Marries Veronica" storylines with a dual-earth concept, in which the yellow wood that Archie wanders down while contemplating his life choices becomes a nexus between the two worlds. Science genius Dilton Doiley becomes involved, and there is a sinister plot involving Lodge Industries that became too convoluted to keep straight. We also have the love story and wedding of Kevin Keller and Clay Walker, refreshingly treated as just another wedding. Thankfully, the turmoil caused by the dual worlds intersecting seems fairly resolved by the end of the book, and hopefully the next book will get to the more mundane everyday dramas that I always enjoyed Archie Comics for.
