Archie’s Married Life comes to magazine format

Life With Archie - The Married Life

Archie Comics is bringing Betty and Veronica together.   The two announced comic-book series “Archie Loves Betty” and “Archie Loves Veronica” are being brought together in on magazine titled “Life With Archie – The Married Life.”

Archie Comics says in a release that the more mainstream magazine format will allow wider distribution of the storylines.

Each story will cover a possible future of Archie: One in which he’s married to the socialite Veronica, and the other in which he marries girl-next-door Betty.

“The feedback from the press release announcing ‘Archie Loves Betty’ and ‘Archie Loves Veronica’ was so spectacular we were immediately charged with the task of finding a way to make sure everyone would be able to get to it,” said Archie Co-CEO, Jon Goldwater, in a news release. “A magazine can be found anywhere!”

“Life With Archie” is scheduled to be available August 2010. Cover price will be $3.99 US and $4.49 CAN.
