Most of the story rotates around Archie's love triangle. Of course, we aren't talking about that tired old Archie-Betty-Veronica love triangle. This is 2014! ARCHIE #651 is all about the all-new love triangle: Archie, Valerie, and Amisha! The secret romance between Archie and Valerie is rocked after Cheryl shows off video footage of Archie and Amisha not making out, but you know he totally wanted to so Valerie is fuming. Meanwhile, Amisha really wants Archie, but is being all self-sacrificing by trying to get Archie and Valerie back together. But Valerie isn't going to be anyone's leftovers. It's a mess.
Meanwhile, Betty and Veronica are stuck twiddling their thumbs. Except...
Except that Betty isn't just sitting around twiddling her thumbs. Tired of playing the tamborine, she recently started up her own band with a group of girls from Riverdale: Sabrina, Ginger, Midge, and Two-Fisted Toni Topaz! Their band? It's the Bettys! Check these girls out!:
Through the magical machinations of Sabrina, Betty's new band-mates are transported from Riverdale to Beijing to make their debut performance. And judging from the others' reactions, they really rocked it!
I really like this group! Dare I hope for a few short stories about the newly-formed Bettys?
A guy can wish!
