Due to the success of Kevin Keller and his continued popularity, he will now be getting his own series, and will also be appearing in Life With Archie, according to the New York Times...

The series, titled Kevin Keller, will follow a four-issue mini-series starring Kevin that began in July and has started filling out his background, including his relationship with his father, who serves in the military and is supportive of his son’s desire to follow in his footsteps. Like those for the other Archie characters, Kevin’s series will deal with his life in high school. “He’s going to be the class president,” said Dan Parent, the writer-artist who created Kevin. But it won’t all be a good time. “Even the most popular kids are not popular with everybody,” Mr. Parent said. “There’s some adversity he’ll have to deal with.”

Readers will also get a glimpse into Kevin’s adulthood thanks to a continuing married life story line in Life With Archie, which shows that famous redhead’s life on two paths: one in which he married Betty, the other in which he married Veronica. In early 2012 that story line will feature Kevin’s marriage. “We needed to figure out how to get Kevin into that book and, frankly, not sidestep the issue,” Mr. Goldwater said. “It deals with the fact that he’s a gay man and has gay relationships.” Mr. Goldwater said the overall reception to Kevin has been positive. “Out of all the people who subscribe to the Archie books, we only had seven total cancellations,” he said.

Was wondering when he'd pop up in Life With Archie.

And, hey, great news on the comic series.  It's nice to see new comic books being created instead of taken away.

Archie Comics needs to do a cross over event where Reggie invades the other characters' comic series.

And honestly, I think it would be hard for Reggie to have a book. He's best when he's playing off another character (when he's being snide or playing a prank) and I'd worry about making him too nice because a nice Reggie is boring. Make Reggie a little to mean, and you have readers who won't like him. He's probably the hardest Archie character to write.

I agree with you to a point. I used to like House, but after years of him treating his friends and staff like garbage, abusing drugs no matter what anyone does to help him, and doing whatever he wants and not seeming to care if it has consequences. After about five years, I got tired of it.

No saying Reggie is on House level, I'm just saying the "jerk with a heart of gold" is hard to balence sometimes. I've read a few Reggie stories where he was pretty evil and others when he's kinda...blah.

There's certainly lots of places where if Reggie had a digest that there would be sources for material.  The only Reggie & Me title and Reggie's Revenge.  There's all the Pep and Laugh Comics as well.  You even have Reggie stories in the other four character titles, like the Betty comic where Reggie and Betty try dating.

I'm sure coming up with new stories wouldn't be so hard. 

If Reggie were to get a new floppy, a 50:50 thing where in half he's good, and half he's bad could work.

But, since this thread is about Kevin Keller getting his own book, I'm all for that too!

I think it's great to see Kevin getting a series.  It seems more of a clean slate to use a new character for a new series (Cheryl, Chuck, etc would all make great series).  As for Reggie, I don't see him holding an entire series.  It might be interesting to pair him into a team to explore that - maybe a secondary new character that acts as a foil to his jerkiness - someone nice and considerate that he gets attached to in some way (a girl he likes, a co-worker, etc)
