This is my favorite Archie character. I love his laid back smarts which are on display here in this story - his story of high school. I recently saw a few episodes of Riverdale and that is all cheese, all the time, but they totally messed up Jughead and got his character completely wrong. At least he gets to shine in this story.
It's a ridiculous story of a principal who is trying to turn everyone into super soldiers. Jughead figures all this out through his fun daydreams. It really is totally stupid, but it lets Jughead shine, so it works for me. All of our characters are in this volume. They let it be known that Jughead is Asexual. I haven't read all the Archie comics, so I don't know if he's ever dated anyone before, but I like that and it seems to work for his character.
These comics are a whole lot of fun and I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us.

I agree! I thought the storyline was kind of silly, but the video game references were very relevant. The coloring is very well done. I like both the Riverdale Jughead and this Jughead, although they are very different people in some ways. I think Jughead being Asexual is more true to how he is in the original comics, so I appreciate that this creative team went in that direction.

It plays out well. Thanks for sharing what you think of the story. I appreciate it.
