Not as good as it could've been. It lacks a lot in terms of "horror", although the illustrations are actually quite detailed. The story is alright, but it needed some serious tweaks.

I enjoy the Archie Horror series, for the way it re-imagines characters I've known for a long time. Although I have great affection for the traditional Archie tone: wholesome, a bit corny, comforting, and have since I was a kid, I am also a fan of the darker, supernatural take. Why don't they adapt these stories into a TV series, instead of whatever the hell Riverdale is? Speaking of which, I think The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina remains my favorite entry in the series, as it seemed to be the most natural fit for a dark and gory reboot. The 1960s origin of the character, and the return to that aesthetic, as well as the creativity of the artwork and just the fact that the character was already a witch make it the strongest. While I enjoyed Jughead: the Hunger, I feel that the writers may have been lost as to what to do with an interesting concept. So it has its ups and downs. Whatever Reggie's up to here, eh I don't really care. I get it, he's terrible, but are we going to add anything to his character besides that and becoming a werewolf? (spoiler). On the other hand, Betty Cooper as a badass hunter of werewolves? Now that's interesting!

This book isn’t perfect but is a fun campy read similar to an 80s horror movie.

After reading The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and loving it, I wanted to try out some of the other dark and creepy versions of classic Archie characters. Sadly this one missed the mark for me. The story started off decently enough, but started going nowhere interesting fast. I also wasn't the biggest fan of most of the artwork throughout. The only style that was somewhat visually interesting was only used in the first issue, never to be seen again in this book. I might read the next one to see if it improves any, but we'll see.

Jugheads hungry...
Not too shabby, was expecting a different connection but I'm always down for a family witch hunt. This collects the 1st 3 issues and includes vamperonica 1 which also is pretty good

I think I love the Archie horror imprint, the mix between the squeaky clean Americana and gory over the top horror is perfect. And jughead as a werewolf is no exception.
