Oh sorry... relaunch. I don't know why "reboot" is such a bad word in the comics industry or why "relaunch" is somehow any better, but whatever. As long as the art matches that cover, I'm game to read the hell out of this. I just hope they find them something to do that's better than what IDW is doing with... oh, nevermind. They don't need the plug. Love the art. From Archie Comics:

Josie. Valerie. Melody.   Together, they’re known across the world as the mega-famous rock band Josie and The Pussycats.   JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS #1 launches on September 28^th from the stellar creative team of co-writers Marguerite Bennett (DC Comics’ Bombshells), Cameron DeOrdio and artist Audrey Mok (Heroine Chic).

Fans have been demanding a new JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS series for years and Archie Comics is proud to deliver a new ongoing series that will follow Josie and her friends on their journey to achieve their dreams of musical stardom.

Following hot on the heels of the blockbuster ‘New Riverdale’ re-launches ARCHIE and JUGHEAD series, and this July’s BETTY & VERONICA from Adam Hughes, the new JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS series will explore the foundations of the friendships between Josie, Valerie, and Melody and their rivalry with Alexandra Cabot.

“I am incredibly grateful and outrageously stoked to be working on JOSIE,” says co-writer Marguerite Bennett. “JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS is zany, high-energy, hilarious, and utterly sincere. The book can't launch soon enough.” 

The new series will arrive in comic book stores this September featuring an assortment of variant covers from fan favorite artists including Veronica Fish, Francesco Francavilla, and more.
