With Reggie Mantle and his pack closing in, can Jughead evade the Cooper clan?
Since the 50% off sale at the Archie store was too good to pass up, I snapped this one up like a werewolf on a rabbit after finishing the previous volume.
Jughead The Hunger - Volume 2 collects issues 4-8 of Jughead the Hunger and picks up where the last volume left off. Reggie is building his pack, the Coopers are closing in, and Archie is conflicted.
The art by the Kennedys, Joe Eisma, Bob Smith, Jim Amash, and Ryan Jampole does a good job sticking with the Francavilla look of Afterlife with Archie while still having character of its own. These gents draw some toothsome werewolves. The limited color palate does a great job setting the mood. Hell, all the Archie books make the most of their coloring without going too deep into the computer effects. The writing continues to feel like Buffy with werewolves but it's very well done and a lot of bloody good fun.
The plot continues to move forward but the individual issues are satisfying morsels. That's about all I want to say without giving too much away. I am curious how they're going to do Jughead The Hunger vs. Vampironica since Veronica is a werewolf in this continuum. I guess I'll find out when I get to that point.
Jughead The Hunger - Volume two is a bloody fun read! Four out of five mangled carcasses.

This one is a whole lot better than the first volume. While I think the story isn't as strong, it's a huge step up!

Jugheads not the only one who is hungry
The twist was so good!!! Werewolves are a seldom used occult character and this does it so well, but you have to wonder why elena didn't become one. And with the frame job in place what are the next steps? Is there a cure??

I mostly like the art, but the dialogue, especially certain turns of phrase, occasionally feels off and the last issue in this volume is 100% pure filler.

This entire series is bananas and I love it.
Re-read October 2021: on re-reading, this book is far less fun and much more a mess.

The story continues with Reggie and his pack, and the Cooper Hunter clan closing in.
Again the art was incredible - reminiscent of Francavillas work on Afterlife. The story was moved fast, from one point to the next. There was some nice history involved as well relating to werewolves and their history with Riverdale.
Such a fun read and perfect for October.
