Have you ever noticed that people have a default comic book genre?
I'm convinced that people, when they want a good read, naturally
gravitate towards one specific genre. For example, Jim loves crime
noir, Matthew loves nostalgia and has a soft spot for every book from the 80s, and Thomm just love confrontation. I meant, a spirited discussion about people's inability to use gramar correctly.
My default comic genre is always humor. From Carl Barks Ducks to Groo
to Squirrel Girl, if a comic has a good joke there's a chance I've read
it. EXCEPT for Archie books. For some reason, I've never been an
Archie fan. But, when Archie relaunched their entire line a couple of
years ago I knew I had to give it a try! Which is why.... this week, I
want to talk about Jughead Vol 1 tpb collecting issues 1-6, written by
Chip Zdarsky with art by Erica Henderson.
Don't worry if you've never read a Jughead comic, the first issue quickly set the stage by introducing all the main characters and the plot. Riverdale H.S. has a new principal and according to Jughead he's turning everyone's favorite high school into a training school for spies! Or is Jughead just dreaming it and if it's true, how will Jughead avoid detention?
