Archie Comics has had quite the banner year, thanks in no small part to the revitalized flagship title currently flying off the racks. Not content to let Riverdale's resident redhead have all the fun, the publisher delivers the first of the brand's character specific offshoots, starting with none other than Archie's main pal, Jughead. Creators Chip Zdarsky and Erica Henderson bring their trademark hilarity to the lovable slacker with the big heart and bottomless stomach, delivering an amusing debut that'll keep you coming back for seconds.
The most surprising thing about Jughead #1 is how little it's beholden to the main Archie title. The cast and setting are the same, but beyond that Zdarsky and Henderson are left very much to their own devices. Considering that Zdarsky is essentially left with the keys to the jalopy, it's no surprise then that he takes it out for a spin, his story traversing all manner of narrative paths real and imagined. His tongue in cheek (burger in mouth?) sense of tone is apparent throughout, from Jughead's opening video game intro to his Game of Thrones inspired dreamscape. That's not to say it's all aimless buffoonery, as the introduction of a no-nonsense new principal incites a culinary revolution (and a forward arc) from the gruel-adverse glutton.
