Josie has a pretty good following and this reboot could turn out to be the 2nd most popular reboot only behind the Archie title.

A funny picture from ARCHIE #9 ::)



Hey, I have one of those!

I guess the girls from Josie & The Pussycats are supposed to be older if they are on merchandise already. In this Archie reboot The Archies didn't even start yet.

seen a lot of mixed opinions about Bennet's writing

How so? I know for myself I tried DC Bombshells but despite the beautiful art I just couldn't get into it because of so many competing storylines. Does anyone read/like that series on here?

Josie and the Pussycats have always been older.  In the recent Archie loves Valerie storyline, they mention Archie having to go to high school while Valerie heads out on tour.

I never heard there was supposed to be a whole book, just that they would show up in Afterlife, which they're scheduled to next issue.

they did talk about expanding the line up at one point and that vampire veronica picture gave ideas in people's heads as to what a new series could be

but no expansions happened

Well, Josie, Melody, and Pepper started out as high school students just like Archie and the gang. Somehow when they got a Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon series they formed a band in the comic book and just sort of stopped going to high school. Although it's just sort of vague as to when, exactly, that might have happened, since in the very first Pussycats story, when Alexander Cabot mentions Valerie's name as a potential member of the
prospective group, and Melody asks "Who's Valerie Smith?", Alex replies "She's a new girl in school." -- so apparently, they're still in school when the Pussycats are first formed.

Even so, you get these weird anomalies like the following one-page gag strip from JOSIE #74 (Feb. 1974). How is it that Alexandra and Alan can be in school (and we can see Josie, Melody and Valerie in the same class - could be college, we don't know from the context) in this issue that appeared in late 1973 if they're supposed to be full-time musicians in Josie and the Pussycats? Maybe they're just taking a class at the local community college? Well, I once theorized that this gag was recycled from an older Archie script where the girl would have been Betty and the boy would have been Archie.


Betty Girl

This is one that I am looking forward to. I've always liked the characters and thought they've been under used in recent years.

Musical_Necromancer

the person co-writing alongside Bennett doesn't seem to have any prior comic credits to their name...any idea who this cameron Deordio is?
