So, in Archie 600 he's marrying Veronica in a six issue event. Which I'm assuming gets back to the status quo by #606.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Archie. How COULD you?

Oh, Archie. How COULD you?
This event has spurred many collectors to *destroy their collections*, apparently. It was on local news on Monday.

"Archie is *not* fucking Mr. Weatherbee!"
"Deny, deny."

Destroying their collections?
That's what the news said. "Many" may be an exaggeration. SEVERAL I would believe.
I did find 3 auctions on Ebay of entire Archie comic collections. Irked collectors ditching the entire franchise.
I think it's a bit goofy. But then, I am not a comic collector. I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman (specifically), Frank Miller (specifically), and anything where the Joker gets good lines. That's *it*.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I read about this in more detail on Wikipedia. Do the collectors understand this is an alternate universe kind of thing and likely not to stick?
I don't get it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm sure these are the same people who thought Superman would stay dead. Or Capt. America. Or Batman ...

Or fucking Barry Allen.
They did finally bring him back, right? I swear I heard they had done that after promising never ever ever.

They did. Fucking Dan DiDio. (I say this as a hypocrite with 2 months' worth of DC comics sitting next to me, ready to be packed for vacation reading.)
