Josie and the Pussycats #1 does not disappoint. I look forward to seeing how this series unfolds, but I'm also interested as to how they'll play into the whole Riverdale scene. After all, these teenagers need a soundtrack for the soap opera that is their lives. Read Full Review

By keeping a firm handle on its tone and by employing the same kind of wit and inclusiveness that has made "New Riverdale" such a delight thus far, Josie and the Pussycats #1 succeeds on more than a few levels. Marguerite Bennett, Cameron Deordio, Audrey Mok, and Andre Szymanowicz all meld together to deliver a fun and focused female-led title that not only respects its characters and audience, but also takes elements of what came before and uses them to the title's advantage. Though it just started, I predict that Josie and the Pussycats will rock Riverdale for a long time to come. Read Full Review

This book is a sold introduction to the rebooted universe of Josie and the Pussycats. There is plenty to remind longtime readers of characters gone by and enough modern points of view to keep new readers around. While there is no strong humor like Jugheador the different point of view nostalgia of Betty and Veronica, there is a sincere look at women, friendship and newly formed interests and goals that makes this book unique from the others Archie Comics offers. It will be interesting to see the bands newest way of rising to the top of the charts, and how they handle newfound fame. Read Full Review

Josie and the Pussycats#1 is yet another successful Archie reboot as Marguerite Bennett and Cameron DeOrdio create a strong narrative drive between Josie's desire to be a solo artist with her current situation of being in a band and throw in an extended guest appearance from a famous Archie character to provide some sharp commentary on both the band's music and personal lives. Also, Audrey Mok is a future comics superstar with an art style that is gorgeous and down to earth, stylish and humorous. I can't wait to see how she draws Josie and the Pussycats' future concerts.

This new book is a perfect way to introduce a new group of fans to these characters. It also is making great use of the Archie universe by having characters appear just enough for establishment, such as when Jughead was seen visiting the vet with his dog. Its a good read and this may just become a comic for readers to look forward to as it keeps coming out. Read Full Review

I'll give it a second chance and maybe one more after that. I didn't hate it. I'm not excited for it, and it's pretty clear that it doesn't sync up with my reading habits, and that's fine. I don't think it's so safe that it's going to pool into the rest of comics either (hear this week's CBMFP). I just wanted to like it a lot more. I want to like a lot of the new Archie stuff, but I'm just not sure who the hell they're written for. Teens buy video games, adults by comics. Adults of varying ages buy comics I might add. Write for them, not for the demographic that doesn't give two shits about storytelling outside of holding a gun and shooting. I just don't think that the new Archie has found its demographic just yet and if it has" I wonder how long they'll stick around. Read Full Review

The characters are introduced nicely, but it's poorly written in places and too silly when it doesn't need to be.

i loved all three girls, Josie, Val and Melody... but the dialogue was a slog to read thru...
