This is it. We've caught up to the present.
There's been a lot of stuff that's gone down.
And the characters have come through it.
Through it all, this is Life with Archie...
And here we go....
And a character recap for good measure.
Oh damn....
WHICH ONE?
COCONUT OR BUTTER-CREAM?
YOU DECIDE!
BINGO!
B-I-N-G-O spells CAUGHT YA!
Betty's Life, also titled, Archie and the other Redhead
He's going loco that's for sure.
Holey Moley!
Archie.... that's some stuff right there.
>>63757548
>>63757565
How long until he accidentally tweets a dick pic to his gay boyfriend and has to resign from the senate right before the big gun vote?
>>63757691
Damn dude.
>>63757735
Erm... gay HUSBAND.
>>63757740
Right?
Betty-Archie is going down deep.
Everyone's giving Betty guff today!
>perfect comic with Archie married to Veronica
>goes immediately into shitty comic with Veronica with Reggie and Archie in a horrible marriage to the cow
Why do they bother NTRing in their own comic
>>63757822
I actually do like Veronica and Reggie... but Veronica-verse just gets me more entranced.
Gee thanks Mr. Bee!
Still, Betty-verse has a great Bee and Moose.
Bella is actually pretty admirable for how just unabashed she is here.
Ah.
Wait... WHAT?!
#35:
wherein everything is coming up Jughead!
>burgers
>onion rings
>milkshakes
>all dat 'mercan food
ugh so hungry
I wish I could stuff my face with that at all hours of the night in grorious nippon
Attaboy Jughead
Persistence that paid off.
>>63758006
If nothing else that is always the thing you can take away from Archie...
>>63757965TheBabyTheBabyTheBaby
That's not something you see everyday
Great impressions you're making Arch.
Fred Mirth couldn't escape it after all.
Well... he could, but let's go with the optimistic notion for now.
Those two crazy kids made it.
Veronica-verse Dilton made it back!
Glad to see he's no longer insane.
These two crazy kids made it as well.
Though which one is crazier I cannot tell.
Very eloquent Moose
Well, it IS a small town.
But Well Said!
>>63758274
is that Sabrina floating in the background on that cloud?
Just enjoy the happy note...
Betty-verse, or, more Jughead!
>>63758331
Yes, yes she is. Cause Jughead is that cool.
If you want I can storytime #36. I just came in pretty late to getting back on track with the storytiming.
Did they ever made a married life comic
where Archie married someone other than Betty or Veronica?
>>63758361
It's no problem, I have plenty of time to do it.
Unless, of course, you want to do it. I won't stop ya.
>>63758394
There was an arc similar to the first "wedding" arcs where he got with the black pussycat.
>>63758436
was that arc interesting?
>>63758462
It was alright, I forget was issues it was.
They said move it!
>>63758487
>it was alright
well thats a disappointment
Mr. Bee, you ol' dog!
Good for him.
>>63758395
I think I can probably do it. It's a way to get this thread bumped up more.
>>63758608
Well, no problem then.
After I finish this issue then.
Which should be in a handful of pages.
Betty's onto ya game Arch!
BOOSH
Cause it's a good name Jughead's sister!
And I am out! Old OP bring is gonna bring us home...
>>63758737
Baby bump
>>63758737
And now, the death of Archie.
>>63758877
ITS WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR...
Well, personally I was in it for Ethel getting hitched
>>63758877

>>63758912
If you've been following the threads you won't need the timeline, but it's great for sorting out what's happened in which universe.
>>63758941
>>63758941
Right?
It's still missing some stuff but for a primer it's really great to have as a resource.
>>63758958
>>63758984
>>63759012
>>63759039
Basically whichever universe was your favorite, just insert the name whenever he's being vague as heck
>>63759039
>>63758941
so in this universe
he didn't fuck anyone yet?
>>63759156
>>63759178
>>63759166
Nah he did.
>>63759197
>>63759351
And there's Memory Lane again.
>>63759388
Damn Memory Lane, it's no good
>>63759388
>Archie literally married $INSERT_GIRL_NAME
what a cop out
>>63759461
A cop out to what?
He married Veronica and he married Betty.
That's what the series has been about.
>>63759488
Well it's obvious by the end that Veronicaverse is superior but this ARCHIE DIES chapter just pretends that it could be either one
>>63759522
Yeah, the whole forced ambiguity really didn't work for me either.
Of course one understands that they didn't want to write the same event twice I think a better way to have done it would to have done a V-shape structured issue.
Like maybe each page is half of each verse and then it funnels into the climax.
So is this all just an elaborate reboot?
>>63758006
If you're in Oki, just head out to one of the taco rice stands.
>>63759621
What... naw.
Memory Lane just does this to people.
>>63759440
I'll let you anons in on a secret.
the best girl always has an "R" in her name. doesn't matter if western or eastern.
veronica v betty
mary jane v gwen
marceline v bonnabelle
ryoko v aeka
rei v asuka
rukia v orihime
in the case of both names containing an R, whoever's is closer to the front of the name wins.
>>63759670
>>63759693
>>63759725
They pretty much had both of his kids in these scenes have red hair just to not reveal whether his wife is Betty or Veronica.
>>63759769
>>63758587
The man must have a dick like a baseball bat.
>>63759653
So Memory Lane is like.. a fractured splinter of the Funkyverse?
>>63759812
No.
It's just a place where people get lost in memories. Either past or future.
>>63759802
>>63759769
he probably married Betty
since Veronica has black hair and black hair is a dominate gene
while blond hair and red hair goes either way.
>>63759870
It would make sense, there's a bunch of things that point to it leaning more toward the Archie/Betty universe.
>>63759870
It don't matter who he married.
This issue happened in either universe.
>>63759843
>>63759908
>>63759802
This reminds me of the old Superman/Batman comics where they had Superman Jr. and Batman Jr., but refused to reveal their mothers.
Honestly, this issue's not doing it for me. They should've had the episodes done up separate, with maybe a third part of the issue dedicated to him getting shot.
>>63759980
Yeah, that way each has their own small build up to the same conclusion
>>63758239
why is it that cancer only strikes Cheryl in a universe where Archie gives Bettie the d?
>>63760012
Well, being two different universe (only one of which had Fred Mirth) it's safe to assume that while the people act similarly and are named the same and have mostly the same dynamics.... they are not the same.
Veronica-Cheryl probably doesn't/never had it.
>>63759933
>>63760080
>>63760107
>>63760172
>>63760330
Cheryl here looks like the Earth-Betty version.
>>63760355
>>63760372
>>63760388
>>63760355
Yeah it's probably Betty-Earth with veronica-earth aspects thrown in instead of the other way around.
I find it funny how they threw in Dilton finally at the end of the previous Veronica-verse story so they could align them more.
>>63760410
Wait, I don't get it. First they have Cancer Cheryl, and then there's regular Cheryl right there?
>>63760410
>>63760471
That's Bella Beazly
>>63760495
Ah.
Too many damn redheads.
>>63760525
There's also the "Teen Hottie" or something that was always used in the character recaps for the Betty-verse as one of the new students... but she never had any lines so I kept laughing whenever they used her picture in the recaps.
>>63760477

OUCH RIGHT IN THE KISSA
>>63761044
and he doesnt survive a clean shot to the stomach? u wot m8?
>>63761044
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>63761054
And by that I mean in Jughead terms... given where he ends up after all this.
>>63761044
>>63761044
Oh, come on. That probably just clipped some intestines. He could live for a long while if he didn't get medical treatment.
>>63761067
That shot also could have hit his liver and perhaps a kidney, and a point blank.
What a way to go...
>>63761191
Still, he could live for a few hours and get to a hospital.
>>63761133
>>63761233
Doesn't help that he starts bleeding out like a water balloon
>>63761224
>>63761233
>>63761282
>>63761397
Just pools of Archie blood
>>63761397

>>63761397
And, thus, Archie dies cradled in the arms of his one true love.

>>63761397
You know, I have a lot of the classic Archie books and seeing this just hurts. I mean, if you told me a few years agothat this would happen. I would never believe you.
>>63761459
Come on now, Reggie is a pretty stand up guy now in two rather good relationships.
>>63761397
And so it was Jughead all along
>>63761437
the real reason Jughead is crying
>>63761397
I feel like something really important just disappeared.
That picture feels like the death of innocence.
I mean fuck, that's Archie dying there.
>>63761437
Man, this entire issue is just. Eh. Is there one more? Because it feels like all of the AB and AV plots just came to a dead halt.
>>63761524
Eh, I'd be more shocked if they hadn't also had Night of the Living Dead in Riverdale.
>>63761524
Is this confirmed to be the last issue ?
>>63761546
>>63761561
There will be one last issue that will be have an epilogue to both universes set one year after his death.
>>63761397
wholly fuck, that was corny as shit
6/10
>>63761561
They're still publishing other Archie comics. Archie only dies in this one comic.
>>63761537
So now that we're up-to-date, I have an important question for everyone.If you encountered an alternate universe version of you, would you fuck them?
>>63761537
>The MLJ founder reasoned that if a "super man" could sell copies, how much more would an "every man" appeal to readers?
That's kind of a dumb logic. People don't really look for the same things in Superman and Archie.
>>63761609
>>63761631
Well, it worked for them though.
Now that we're up to date:
WHICH UNIVERSE IS YOUR FAVORITE!
>>63761643
>>63761694
Three page preview of #37, the final issue.
>>63761765
Getting tissue paper ready for tears
>>63761765
>>63761790
Mr. Bee.... dayun
>>63761765
Is this gonna be another ambiguous universe thing?
>>63760865
ahaha, wow
way to scream like a sissy in your final moments, archie
>>63761790
Although it pisses me off greatly that they took a character whose light, funny books entertained me through many bored summers as a child, and brutally murdered him as a way to make their book edgier and more post-modern, I am still thrilled to see Archie return from the dead next year and take on the mantle of Captain America, once they kill the new one off again.
>it wasn't the creepy open carry private security guard who makes smirking gun-fingers at gay guys
wat tweest
>>63762275
>Suspecting anybody but the shady foreign-looking guy
What a twit.
>>63762349
>suspecting a character who literally didn't exist until he pulled the gun out
>>63759812
No I'd say the Bettyverse takes place in the Funkyverse.
>>63761967
op are you still here?
>>63762399
He was there when Archie talked to Reggie at Jughead's you twit.
>>63762505
>wah wah wah stop BTFOing me out
do you need a tissue
>>63762434
Three page preview, that's all they had on the site. That issue won't be out till this Wednesday.
>>63760588
No it's got seltzer in it too
>>63757203
Here we go! All I have to do is speed read through this and I will be free. It has been a wild ride /co/. Thanks.
>>63761818
I hope not.
Or if anything they keep Kevin's speech the same and the REALLY show what happened in each universe.
>>63758877
Damn, that's actually a pretty good cover. Most of the others were your standard soap opera kinda stand-ins. But this one's a lot more planned out.
>>63763596
It's part of the variants.
The double sized official cover is archie lying bleeding out.
Here are the other variants.
>>63763652
>>63763677
>>63763692
The Last issue will also have it's own variants but that's it for now.
>>63757766
That is some dramatic lighting for a security guard.
How will everything go to shit for Ambrose next?
>>63757822
Well, the Betty verse definitely started out as pretty superior, so I guess things have to flip-flop a bit to stay even.
Strawpoll it

>>63761397
Damn, I read this when someone story-timed it a few days ago, but post back-log it is so much more sad.
I am a being of pure catharsis today.
>>63764526
It packs a bigger punch when you get the whole story behind it, yeah.
Roller coaster ride of events and drama and soap opery stuff.
>>63763652
This is the one I bought. I might have to actually start following this series now.
Pretty pissed. Every time I tell myself to cut down on my comics spending, it never works.
>>63764660
The series is ending this week.
>>63764660
>I might have to actually start following this series now.
There's only one issue left. A bit late for that.
>>63760979
I would pay double for that to happen.
>>63764674
>>63764682
That is a whole almost 4 dollars I am not spending on tacos.
Though, considering that past week, the chance is very high that a large group of /co/ will be invested the day it comes out.
