Archie Comics does it again! I mean listen, I am probably slightly biased on the matter--I would definitely call Archie my ride or die comics--but the recently rebooted Jughead stories just keep getting better. In #4 we are continuing the trail of mystery (is the new staff at Riverdale up to something? If so, what?) with humour (a lot of humour!) and of course familiar faces.
Oh, yes! Not to mention hilarious dream sequences--say hello to Slackbeard! I am either really tired (plausible) or really easily amused because I'm almost always howling with laughter at the vivid and creative dreams he has. While this one doesn't beat out Game of Jones or their spoof on U.N.C.L.E it is still filled with good old fashioned nostalgic humour that even the oldest Riverdale fans can appreciate. Tied it up in one stunning bow (that! artwork! I! feel! faint!) and you've got yourself a can't miss comic.
Honest.
Even better we get to see more interactions between Jughead and his friends. We get more of Dilton Doiley filling in the position of his partner in crime; as Jughead tries to crack the case on whether or not they are in serious trouble (danger!) at school. I've got a hint for you: HACKING and a bit of a backfire. Because what is an Archie comic without a little mischief gone wrong?

The fourth issue of the Jughead comics. Jughead makes his return to school, now convinced of the evil intentions of the new principal, to train all of his students to be secret agents. Jughead's friends, on the other hand, are less than convinced. Facing new types of punishment now, Jughead immerses himself in a new dream, Capt. Slackbeard, facing off against other pirates in the face of mutiny. He is struck by a new idea, though, and recruits one of his friends to find proof, and convince them all of the evil intentions of the new administration. But when it doesn't work out as planned, will anyone believe Jughead?
Another great issue, love reading these Jughead comics, and this was the FIRST comic to make mention of Jughead's asexuality. Love having that kind of representation!

The pirate parody was amazing. I'm not sure about how the teachers are being portrayed though ...
