Josie and the Pussycats storytime, wherein this book is

>>93816502
>cancelled
Sucks, art is good but the characterization and writing style too bizarre with Josie unlikable and hard to connect to. The lack of any type of overall arc hurt the story. Only Valerie, Melody, and Alexandra were likable and the writer did nothing with the former two even as they were co main stars.

Well yeah, it's Bennett, she's a terrible writer. At least Mok is going to the main Archie book.

For however long that lasts until Archie closes shop

>>93816502
What's the last issue?
12?

>>93817074
9. Next one is the final one

>>93816838
Well hopefully Bennett can squeeze in some characterization before this ends. Will get today's issue. Thanks op.

>>93817150
She's got an issue left. It ain't happening

>>93817092
Ah the hard cancel.
Where they'll even sell this in one big trade in some half-assed attempted to break even rather than let it go 2 trades worth of story.

>>93817981
They've already collected the first five in one trade

>>93816818
This would be a nice poster.

>>93816598
Oh I shipped those two when I was a kid but I knew it would never happen because Josie was the main character.

>>93816502
Reading it

>>93816520
Did they...?

>>93816708
What the fuck happened to the art? this shit art better not be in the last issue!

What are these guys up to?

>>93825368
They hate The Archies' bubblegum pop

>>93816520
> current manager and former (?) crush
> current (?) and former friend

So, Josie is crushin' on Alex?

>>93826528
I hope so, or maybe they can bring Albert back? that would be cool

>>93825183

>>93826948
They had Pepper for a panel or two at the start, I don't see why Albert can't pop up for a mention

>>93816803
This one fan reviewer I occasionally read was loving the comic until this issue. It broke her.

But this issue is actually great, issue 5 was the worst one, I know AlanXAlexandra is a shitty pairing but still is a good issue overall
>>93828548
Pepper is always great

>>93829041
>expecting good writing from this shitty book
Well she's retarded, everyone just reads it for Mok's art making everyone waifutier

>>93816538
Wait is this canon with the main Archie book?

She left the original comic because she got fat and they replaced her with Valerie

>>93830623
Nah, apparently they cut her from the comic because she was too similar to campus protesters at the time.

>>93830551
Yes

>>93830551
no, Betty is dead in those, but it might be part of the new 'The Archies' ongoing

The one-shot was good enough, I guess they'll replacing Josie with this

>>93835497
The one fucking time I wish they'd go with a IT'S 2017 WE NEED TO MODERNIZE THIS move and give Betty an actual instrument, and they still don't

OH FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES THIS BOOK IS SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!

Also:
It makes perfect sense for Archie.to put their best artist on their headline book now tht they lost Veronica Fish (was that the Archie artist?). My guess is that Benett doesn't want to worl with anybody else.

I'll just wait until Audrey and Kelsey are done with Archie and this comic starts back up again.

I swear if the trades weren't stupid floppies I'd buy this.

God damn I am so jealous that this comic gets art like this. WOuld kill for the artist to work on Supergirl. Supergirl rebirth's art is gross.

Is next month going to be a huge 9 issues storytime marathon of farewell?

>>93836579
Yeah, should all fit in a single thread

>>93816684
This is so out of character that it's funny

>>93816502
>cultural appropriation

>>93830657
back when comics were good

So, how did nobody notice the kidnapping besides the Pussycats? Did they think it was part of the number? Or did the guy just have enough frog poison to tranquilize the entire audience?

>>93816818
hot damn that blondie is sexy as fuck. i haven't read any of these comics but i think i will thanks to that eye candy
