What ever happened to being comfortable with jell-o? There has to be more to this. I just won't believe it. How could he pass up Betty and that fantastic ponytail? It makes sense though, Archie is pretty much a bum. Rarely keeps a job, not the brightest bulb, and has an awful haircut.
The Lodge fortune would be pretty sweet.
It's a shame though,he'll gain plenty of wrinkles and grey hair within the first 3 years of living with Veronica.
Sweet Betty, you'll find Mr. Dreamy Ecologist one day.
Bitter?Yes. So here it is officially from Archie Comics, Archie marries Veronica:the Proposal. Due out August 19th,2009.
from the official Archie comics facebook.
The eternal love triangle is the cornerstone of Archie Comics for over 65 years-and the bane of Archie Andrews' existence! In fact, over the years it has not only defined the Betty/Archie/Veronica relationship, but has even threatened to dismantle it a time or 20.
Never was this more evident than in the landmark "Love Showdown" storyline from 1994 and '95. When Archie Comics announced that Archie Andrews may finally choose between Betty & Veronica once and for all, the response from the media, fans and retailers alike was unprecedented-and with good reason! The landmark "Love Showdown" storyline threatened the certainty of the love triangle and all it stood for, nearly bringing an end to the friendships of all three characters as Archie chose old flame Cheryl Blossom at story's end!
Readers had nothing to fear, as ultimately Cheryl wore out her welcome in Riverdale. While she's been an occasional presence (and to Betty and Veronica, an occasional nuisance) in the last 15 years, life has returned to normal for Archie and his friends. And that includes his seemingly never-ending inability to choose between Betty and Veronica, no matter how many times he takes them out.
Without question, the "Love Showdown" was the most talked-about, most publicized and most popular Archie Comics story ever. until now! The past 15 years' worth of love triangle status quo really could be facing extinction in a story that will rock the world of everyone in Riverdale and be sure to keep people talking for months on end!
In fact, we'll even go so far as to call it the Archie Story of the Century. With a title like "Archie Marries Veronica Part 1: The Proposal," how could we call it anything else?!
Could it be true? Has Archie finally decided to take the plunge and propose to comics' favorite rich girl? It sure looks that way! Earlier this year readers got a chance to relive "Freshman Year" with the famous teens of Riverdale High. Now make way for this special story that takes a look at Archie and his friends after they graduate college! What careers will they seek? Will the friends stay in Riverdale or disperse? What would lead Archie to have marriage on his mind? And why would he choose Veronica over Betty? How will Betty react? Can Archie shake off his klutzy past and hold down a steady job. for more than a month? Two things are certain: with the Lodges as hosts, this will be the biggest wedding Riverdale has ever seen. and the biggest Archie Comics story since the famous "Love Showdown!"
Acclaimed superhero movie producer Michael Uslan draws upon his lifelong love of Archie comic books to write this very special tale, rendered by legendary Archie Comics artist Stan Goldberg! The Archie story of the century begins here. don't miss it!
I like how Jughead looks sad too. Jughead see little of Archie now.
A brilliant throw back to the old sci-fi genre. decent art work, the writing is funny and not a forced funny. The story starts with the moon being a second colonization of Earth. We have a few workers checking the system, one gets lost. The other goes looking for him finds a mysterious shadow and says " You're not Alan" The response, "No, but he was delicious"- key the vamps!
A ship arrives on the docking base of the moon, people pour out screaming because of WEREWOLVES!! It's like a total Scooby-Doo moment. These are hip wolves. not really looking to kill humans, "just some nips". The wolves get quarantined as do the people who arrived with them, as they will start turning too. They hear of the vampires coming after them and start to freak out, because they can't believe vampires are real.
Eventually the Vamps let lose the minions when the lead vampire Till hears the werewolves are on the moon. It's a pretty funny scene. So with the news of vampire minions on the way , the main werewolves remind the new ones, what is means to be a werewolf. " Super strength, fast healing, and the vampire is our natural enemy"
The first issue ends with the vampire minions facing one direction while the wolves are at another. I am totally hooked on this title. Sci-fi horror with comedy can't be topped. It just can't IMO. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little laugh and a quick get away from the superhero.
Pushing Daisies lives no more on ABC. Long live Pushing Daisies via DC comics.
Pushing Daisies was one of my very favorite shows from the very beginning. Such a morbid subject but in a way that was enlightening and entertaining.
The offbeat stories, quirky characters and great photography made this one of my three hours of weekly t.v. A wonderfully written and produced dramedy I have not seen the final three episodes yet, but I have added it to the "Summer of George" list I have going. While the comics definitely won't be a replacement, it will be a supplement.
I am happy with any chance to spend more time at the Pie Hole.
411 from Fuller-
@ The screening of the final three episodes of ABC's dark comedy series Pushing Daisies
series creator Bryan Fuller confirmed that the storyline of the show will continue in a comic book – something he had said he was attempting to do last fall, as news of the show's cancellation broke. Said Fuller at the event, "They'll be a comic book out this fall. I'm working with DC now."
Twelve issues are planned in the series, "and then in success, we would do more," he said.
Fuller said the comic book is in the works right now. "We've arced it out. The dangling threads from the series with Chuck's father and Ned's father and the pocket watches are all dealt with, not secondarily, but there's a whole new story that happens when there is a flash flood in the cemetery and all the bodies wash past Ned, and it's Ned versus a thousand corpses. That's the story of the comic book."
From the set of Iron Man 2, Kevin Feige totally confirms the mean green will be in the Avengers movie in 2012.
"It will have been a number of years, four years since he was in a movie by that point, by 2012. So I'd like to see him in it. I'm not being coy. We're just starting the story. I was on the phone with Zak Penn this morning. He's coming in next week and he's going to work on the outline this summer, but because it's so intertwined with what we're doing before - I almost wanted to get done with production on Iron Man 2(and) the scripts to Thor and Captain America well underway before we even started Avengers."
Even with the first Hulk and the reboot, that doesn't mean more are not in the future. I think it has been long enough since we've seen him do some damage.
"Now at least we talk about Hulk onscreen and Hulk in a movie - I think that you can go to something that isn't a very sort of surreal experience and is rather very much a Marvel movie experience and does very much tie and is a part of this MCU (Marvel Cinema Universe) that I talked about that."
Honorable Mentions-
Ant-Man !!?
"I want to make 'Ant-Man' one of these days. I think that'll be surprising and a funny thing. I love that what Edgar (Wright) likes about it is that when he says he's doing Ant-Man people go, 'Ant-Man? What the hell is that?' I think that's fun.
Dr Strange?!
I think 'Dr. Strange' would kick ass. I think we've done very well at the superhero genre, if you will, this street level superhero aspect of the Marvel Universe. I think with Thor you'll see us cracking into the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe in a very good way that's never been done before in our movies and I'd love to get into that supernatural element. I think that Dr. Strange could be a good way of being the lynchpin to that universe with Werewolf By Night, with Blade again someday – that side of the Marvel Universe."
Captain America Casting-
"There are only a handful of stars that mean anything here much less overseas. But I do think that will be a factor in it. As long as we have the freedom to do so at Marvel….to just cast the best actor for the part whether it's an actor who's been a great actor, but hasn't starred in marquee action movies before like Downey or somebody that came out of Australia that they've never heard of," Feige states
And of Will Smith as the lead-
"I love the 'Truth' storyline. I think that's very cool. I wouldn't do that as a first Captain America though," Feige states "I think that (arc) came about four or five hundred issues in to the “Cap” run. I don't see launching with that comic."
With individual character movies getting the boot and rebooted I really hope the Avengers story line is true.
[ The every present wailing cry of the fan boy and girl]
I hope the Wasp is well and used. Thor is having his own movie but I hope they use him to the fullest in 2012. The animated Ultimates that came out 2006 showed him briefly.
"I think Avengers is going to have it's own vibe. It'll have a different tone than the other Marvel movies," Feige said adding that the storyline will have a global feel to it and the scope of the threat will be world-threatening. "'The Avengers' is about saving the world because there's no other reason for characters that powerful to band together. So I think the scope and the scale will feel like a much bigger thing. So whatever you had seen - whether Starscream was your favorite character or Megatron is your favorite character or Soundwave is your favorite character - you're going to see the experience of that epic thing together. I think it'll be the same thing."
Here's hoping Feige "keeps those lovin good vibrations a happenin "with us.
Speculation about the Batman: Arkham Asylum release date has been all over the internets for the last few weeks and months - and it is with great pleasure that the Official Batman: Arkham Asylum Facebook Page can now reveal to its loyal followers that..... (drum roll please)
.... the game will be available in North America on August 25th and throughoutEurope and beyond on August 28th.
Dan Aykroyd says that the long-awaited Ghostbusters III may start shooting by the end of fall with all the original cast members returning, including Sigourney Weaver. This is great news for fans. The rest of the original squad: Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson are all in or it wouldn’t be happening. In the past it was Murray’s reluctance to do it that kept the project from happening. Not returning is director Ivan Reitman. Aykroyd confirms “he’s too busy”. But a spokesperson for Sony, which will distribute the flick, says that Aykroyd may have jumped the gun a little. "We couldn't be more excited about the way the new Ghostbusters film is coming together, but at this point we are focused on a great screenplay," the spokesperson tells EW. "I can't comment on specific casting choices because we don't have a finished script. We love Dan's enthusiasm and his support, and while we are making progress, we are still just in development on this project." In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Aykroyd essentially confirmed what EW reported from the ShoWest convention in April -- that the franchise film is expected to feature a "new generation" of ghostbusters. The Office scribes Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg are writing the screenplay.
I am a huge fan of the office and to know this bit of information is incredibly exciting. I think Stupnitsky could write a script worthy of GB3.
We’ll see. But whoever does write it will have some big shoes to fill with winning over the fans. Especially this fan and the idea of a “new generation” plot. I do not want to see anyone passed the torch. I say have them all get stuck in a time warp or another dimension. Instead it sounds like it could be more of the “Extreme Ghostbusters” cartoon, which I hated. I consider myself a diehard Ghosbuters fan. [I have the Venkman tattoo to prove it.] So with the talk of a new generation, who might take over the coveted proton packs?
There are leaks of the third movie having either Alyssa Malano or Eliza Dushku as part of the cast. The video game has Alyssa as voice talents so I can see how the thought might come across Dan’s mind. But Eliza Dushku- GROSS. She has some talent under her SH wings but I do not think she [or Milano] have the chops or talent to pair up with Bill Murry, Rick Morranis, and Harold Ramis. Yes, these girls are appealing to the eyes. Akyroyd says, “I think they're amazing, and I'm excited about the whole idea of getting this done.” Does he mean “getting this done” as in getting them in the movie or just getting this done as in simply making the movie at all? The Times' somewhat vague piece doesn’t say. Milano did address the hype on her Twitter feed "... this is the first I'm hearing of Ghostbusters 3 ." Dushku followed with another denial on her Twitter saying, "...it's nuthin' I know of."
So Akroyd wants them, but it must be more of a wish than something they're already pursuing.
So the whole thing’s on the roll and maybe they’re looking for a couple of high-profile, youngish, new female Ghostbusters. If they do decide to cast some female busters I’m crossing my fingers they look a little deeper than looks and go for comedy ability. Anna Feris and Sarah Silverman are much better suited for over the top comedy. Hell even Kirsten Dunst might win me over in the khaki jump suit.

I have been waiting for this since 1989. I am obviously a big Archie comics fan. I can't even think right now to write anything inspiring.
