In honor of Archie Comics' 70th anniversary, the company has been reprinting classic strips and covers on their entire main Archie line since October. A glimpse of what has been:
 |
| Life With Archie #51 meets Archie & Friends #157. |
 |
| Life With Archie #56 meets Archie & Friends #159. |
 |
| Life With Archie #54 meets Archie & Friends #158. |
 |
| Archie Giant Series #168 meets B&V Friends Double Digest #219. |
|
|
|
 |
| Laugh #168 meets B&V Friends Double Digest #220. |
 |
| Betty and Me #32 meets Betty #194. |
 |
| Betty and Me #31 meets Betty #195. |
However, these are not all just mere tributes to Archie's past. For two of those books, these mark the end. Both Betty and Archie & Friends have been cancelled, and reprints were used to finish out their respective lines. Also cancelled is Veronica, whose final issues are currently the Kevin Keller mini-series. Betty and Veronica will continue for the girls, while Archie's friends still have the similarly-named double digest to play in. Kevin Keller also gets his own ongoing in 2012 after favorable reaction to both the character and the mini.
