IN THE GRAND TRADITION OF COMIC BOOK REBOOTS LIKE ARCHIE #1, ARCHIE COMICS PROUDLY PRESENTS... JUGHEAD #1—FROM THE COMICS DREAM TEAM OF CHIP ZDARSKY (Howard the Duck) AND ERICA HENDERSON (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl)!

Riverdale High provides a quality education and quality hot lunches, but when one of those is tampered with, JUGHEAD JONES swears vengeance! Well, I mean, he doesn't "swear." This is still Archie Comics after all.

My Thoughts

I was never a big reader of Archie comics growing up. Though I did pick them up every now and then in a supermarket or a friend's house, they were a little too squeaky clean humour for me. As I have grown up, I have been drawn to darker comic books. I particularly like Dark Horse Comics. That being said, I love this Jughead run. His daydreams are fun and the way he interacts with the other teens of Riverdale is cute. My personal favourite aspect of the Jughead comics is the fact that he is all about storylines that are not wrapped around romantic angles.
