Like the other Riverdalians, he’s a supporting character in their story, but the boy who plays the biggest romantic role is, oddly enough, Reggie, who has just broken up with Betty at the beginning of the book. The girls do mainly stick to their promise not to let Archie Andrews come between them, and while the character the publisher is named after plays a role in the comic, and even a part in one of the misunderstandings between the girls, his is a relatively small role, and this comic breaks quite sharply from Betty and Veronica’s 80-year war for his attention and affection. So the girls make a two-part pact: They pinkie promise that they will try to find a college that they can both attend together, and that they will never let a boy come between them, “Especially a certain ginger who shall not be named.”įrom there, the remainder of the comic finds those promises repeatedly challenged over the next four seasons, as each of the five issues/chapters takes a couple of weeks or months: From the end of summer to fall to winter to spring to the beginning of the next summer. Beginning at the end of the summer before their senior year, when best friends Betty and Veronica are reminiscing about how close they became in the previous few months, and how they are somewhat anxiously looking forward to where they will be in a year’s time. In the special miniseries-turned-graphic novel, the creators chronicle the one year that the trapped-in-amber high schoolers can never completely experience in the regular comics.
