Jughead Vol. 1 by Chip Zdarsky
4.0
I've already gushed over the reboot of Archie. So when I heard that Jughead was getting a reboot as well, and it was going to be headed by Chip Zdarsky, one of the creators of Sex Criminals, my other favorite graphic novel series, I flipped!
And this introductory volume does not disappoint.
It's silly, it's totally out there, and it's all 100% Jughead. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but contains little social commentary quips. It pokes fun at itself, as well as the characters surrounding Jughead. And best of all, it spoofs a lot of pop culture that just had be smiling as I'm thumbing through. The number of times I had to contain my giggling while reading is embarrassingly high.
My only critique is the art style, but I believe it goes along with Jughead's serious, not-so-serious, silly theme.
I'm very impressed with these reboots. It's difficult to change something so iconic, but so far I am not disappointed. So does this mean we will get a reboot of Betty and Veronica soon? Because that will just send me over the moon!
