We interrupt your regularly scheduled filler for a super special B&G filler! Blue Beetle and Booster Gold – best comic book couple duo ever! Yes, B&G is totally more fabulous than B&R!

And coz I love you guys, I’m posting a whole 22-page comic book in this here filler post! Story Time! From the pages of Martian Manhunter #24, we go down memory lane to the 1990′s incarnation of the Justice League. Most people in the DCU remember the 90′s JLI/JLE as the embarrassing era of the League, and they’re probably right. But most old fans would agree with me when I say that the JLI/JLE is the most amusing era of the league. We will never forgive DC for giving us Identity Crisis. Never.

Okay, the Archie universe is beginning to be as convoluted as DC and Marvel.

According to Canada.com (lol), Archie’s married adventures in the future are far from over.

Back in May, it was revealed Archie would finally ditch his wishy-washy Riverdale High School persona and get hitched. The pronouncement caused a huge media buzz and led to editorial columns debating the virtues of marrying the pleasant, blond Betty versus hooking up with Veronica, the often-bad-tempered brunette.

Well, it seems the redhead with the checkerboard hair is living some sort of a six-part dreamlike existence in which he is walking down a road called Memory Lane. In the first scenario, released in an edition last month, Archie walks toward a fork in the road and turns left, allowing him to see his life after a marriage to Veronica. This time, he walks to the right and envisions a future with Betty as his bride. In each sequence, Archie ends up with twins.

Also, from NY Times:

This alternative future will be a relief to the fans who reacted negatively to the marriage to Veronica. “The polls that I’ve seen ran about 80/20, Betty over Veronica, with Jughead continually coming in a strong third,” said Mr. Uslan, a comic-book historian.

LOL.

Ok, so now that Archie Comics have introduced the concept of alternate timelines in their universe, epic major crossover anyone?

Know what I think? I think Archie Comics should’ve just stuck to their guns with the Archie-Ronnie marriage and came up with a married Archie spinoff. Now that’s something I would want to read.

And if they feel that they can’t get Archie out of the marriage without aging him, there’s always Mephisto.

P.S. I fear that Archie comics may jump the shark after all of this.
