Realities collide as Vampironica finds herself in the world of Jughead: The Hunger. Why are worlds colliding and can Veronica, Jughead, and Archie stop them from unraveling further?
Two of the big dogs of the Archie horror line collide in this book. It's not Aliens vs. Predator but it's still pretty good.
Someone reads from a magic tome and pretty soon it's Crisis on Infinite Archies up in Riverdale. Actually, it's not quite as massive as Crisis but you get the point. Monster killing fun is the order of the day in this book's gore-slicked pages.
I didn't really know how Frank Tieri was going to put the two Archie horror books together considering they're in parallel universes but this was better than I expected. Sabrina proved to be the catalyst and this proved to be more than a throwaway crossover. Secrets of both worlds were revealed and neither was left unchanged.
The Kennedys and Joe Eisma tore it up on art as well with Bob Smith, Ryan Jampole, Matt Herms, and Lee Loughridge on inks and colors. I've said it many times in the past but the Archie books know how to use the inks and colors to set the tone for a book.
Jugehead: The Hunger vs. Vampironica was just as fun as I imagined. Four out of five decapitated vampires.

Somehow, perfectly combines the relationships and drama of classic Archie, with the fun of a b-grade slasher movie.
Way more fun than it has any right to be.

Love the artwork, it's on par with Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. And the story is so much fun because it features Sabrina and a storyline that involves multiple Archie Comics universes colliding. For a series like this, why not just throw everything out there and see what sticks? The more crazy content the better.

Divertido como el Vampironica 1 pero tal vez no tan redondo. Supongo que es cosa mía que no estoy tan metida en el universo Archie.

Much like Riverdale the show, this comic is doing so much, so quickly that it spins my head a little. It's still fun, but the "vs" part is very misleading. The end pairing of characters is crazy odd and not deserved at all. It was fine, but the first two volumes of Jughead: The Hunger is better.

A thrilling crossover event that continues on from Fresh Blood and sets up New Blood - Vampironica and Werewolf Jugs worlds collide with Sabrina acting as a sort of catalyst, dropping bombshell revelations that will change both worlds.
The Archie horror comics really have a way of using colour to really set the tone and they are far from predictable, and this throwaway crossover was no different.
