The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of JUGHEAD:
THE HUNGER #1 from Archie Comics. The story is by Frank Tieri; with pencils by Pat
& Tim Kennedy, inks by Bob Smith & Jim Amash, colors by Matt Herms, and
letters by Jack Morelli.
It’s been three weeks since the Reggie’s murder, and
Jughead has left Riverdale to join the circus for sanctuary. Archie and Betty
are hot on his trail, as Betty’s family has been werewolf hunters for
generations. Meanwhile Veronica is left behind to deal with what has happened
when she receives an unexpected visitor. And has Jughead killed AGAIN??
JUGHEAD: THE
HUNGER is the latest in the Archie Horror line. Some fans might not like this
take of the characters, but it’s a nice change of pace from the traditional tales
(which I am a fan of as well). Pat & Tim Kennedy, no strangers to the gang
from Riverdale, have a chance to do a little something different artistically
with this book. With the assist of Bob Smith, Jim Amash, and Matt Herms, they
create a spooky atmosphere works incredibly well. Tieri provides an interesting
script that, by the conclusion of the series, one feels will not end well for
most of the gang. Check it out.
