Checked my mailbox today, but I still haven't received an invitation to the Archie/Veronica nuptials. We noted a few months ago that Red had gone all jugheaded on us, deciding to toss aside wholesome Betty for snooty Veronica.

Well, the issue that begins the six-issue story line went on sale today in comic book shops (on newsstands Sept. 1), with a cover that shows Archie popping the question on bended knee, and Veronica answering with a big, red YES! (The Washington Post has an entertaining story about the decades-old love triangle.)

Meanwhile, Betty, who's teary-eyed on the cover, opened her heart on her blog: Look what I got it the mail...What can I say? It is so sad. Xoxoxoxo Bets

I bet that as the series progresses, we discover that Veronica's family was wiped out in the Madoff scandal, and Archie rethinks his future with a newly impoverished, but still obnoxious, girl. He'll go crawling back to Betty, you betcha.
