The one where all look sexy, they all look like they are in their 20's . I thought they were supposed be in High School.

Really? I'm not too familiar with J&P. How many stories show them explicitly in high school versus those that don't?

Aren't the girls supposed to be a bit older than Archie and his friends? I don't think they are in high school.

A recent story, within the past few years, has Valerie at 20 but that was classic Archie who knows with the reboot.

According to Archie Comics, the new series will feature Josie uniting the band to take their big shot at musical stardom, only to contend with the machinations of Alexandra Cabot, the ever-Machiavellian daughter of the Pussycats' manager.

Alex and Alexandra's dad is the manager now? Where does that leave Alex?

That's what I was thinking.

I'm guessing either 1) Alex will come later or be picked as manager later (like Mr. Cabot/Pussycats will give the position to Alex instead of Alexandra), or 2) the summary meant that Mr. Cabot put up the funds for the Pussycats (like in the original comics) so he is technically in charge.

I can't see them leaving Alex out all together. Breaking up the Cabot twin terrors would be blasphemy lol

For one moment I thought they were making Alexandra a child and Alex's daughter. 😬  You're probably right and Alex will be integrated in another way.

The first few issues had them in high school, and then they sort-of dropped it but once in awhile there would be stories (usually one pagers) that had them in a high school class.

Their ages depends on who is writing them. I think it makes more sense that they're older than the Riverdale crew, like how Dan Parent wrote them.

i do hope there's enough action in this series

Since it's about a girl pop band, I'm sure there will be giant explosions, exciting car chases, gunplay with high caliber weapons, villains falling off tall buildings, and lots of people getting punched in the face. It's all part of ACP's forward-thinking plan to make comics "just like the big guys".

I'm surprised it took this long to make another Josie Series.....You'd think during the Hannah Montana Era  this would have sprung up

But ...  just ... look at it ...

Someone on Facebook said that Archie Meets The Ramones is coming out in October. So that's going cool to get 2 Gisele covers in the solicitations.

Okay, why does this reboot comic NOT look like the TV show, or more importantly, the TV show NOT look like the reboot comic?? Will somebody please explain this to me?? Maybe the writers/artists didn't get the memo, I say sarcastically...

i have no idea...Josie's Black and a stuck arrogant crybaby

Stuck and arrogant yeah, how is she a crybaby?

who doesn't even want to record any songs despite being the lead singer of a rock band...

No it was songs by Archie that she didn't want to record because he's a white guy. The production team's wonderful idea to make her a racist.

It will be the first rebooted Archie Comic that I'll actually purchase, although I've borrowed and read the first 2 issues of the new Archie and every issue of the new Jughead. I'll get the new Josie #1 from my LCS at my standard discount.

It's not that I have anything against variant covers in principle, but the more of them they produce for any given comic, the more I tend to resist them, as I consider it the sort of obsequious misuse of the variant covers gimmick that isn't good for the comics industry, because it tends to deemphasize the importance of READING the interior story in favor of turning a comic into a "collectible", a mere tchotchke - something to have only for the sake of owning it.

Whether of not I'll be purchasing issue #2 of the new Josie remains to be seen, although - again - I'll probably borrow and read at least a couple more of the subsequent issues, unless #1 turns out to be completely horrid. At least that way, if I'm critical of the ACP rebooted titles, I'm not speaking from ignorance as someone who hasn't even tried reading them. Can't be any fairer than that.
