I bet a lot of you (me included) thought that the Archie/Valerie relationship was only for that miniseries and that it wouldn’t have any bearing on the original Betty-Archie-Veronica triangle. Well, apparently, it will!
According to USA Today, Archie and Valerie’s relationship is going to take the next step, Life with Archie-style. According to Dan Parent, the two are going to have a full life together, including marriage,”and all the things that go along with weddings: family, friends, the pitter-patter of little…You get my drift,” he said to the newspaper.
Parent also said that the relationship Valerie and Archie have is more substantial than the relationships he’s had with Betty, Veronica and Cheryl Blossom. It’s almost sounding like Parent is saying that Archie’s met “the One” (my words, not his).
Archie #631, which features the relationship, will be in comic book stores in March. You can read more about the issue at the link above. I’ll make sure to subscribe to the issue so I’ll be able to blog about it. I’m rather excited to see how this turns out.
On a related note, I do have to say that Dan Parent is on a roll at Archie Comics. He, along with Fernando Ruiz and Tania del Rio, are shaping up to be the rock stars of the company!
