Archie Comics has announced that writer Michael Uslan is set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of 2009’s Archie Wedding storyline with the six-issue limited series Archie: The Married Life.
The original story answered Riverdale’s longest-running question: will Archie marry Betty or Veronica? Fans were treated to two alternate worlds that explored each possibility and the sequel picks up both stories ten years later so readers can see how much life has changed for Archie, his family, and the rest of Riverdale.
“Now is the right time for new stories taking a look at where the former newlyweds, Archie & Veronica, and Archie & Betty, have wound up ten years later,” said Uslan. “We’ll see how they’re struggling with, among many current and relevant things, a widening generation gap with their own children and much more.”
“My hat is off to Michael Uslan,” said Archie Comics Co-President/Editor-in-Chief Victor Gorelick. “He is boldly taking readers down two different roads, two different futures. It’s 10 years later and down the first path, Archie is married to Veronica. Down the second path, Archie is married to Betty. Will any of these marriages survive? Or, is there a third road?”
