Jughead’s devouring more than just burgers in the latest horror title from Archie Comics.
This is not Mom and Pops Archie where theyre at the Choklit Shoppe sipping milkshakes together.
This is going to be people getting whacked here.
This is some serious shit.
But he is not the only one in Riverdale with a secret.
For the people who say its a tip of the hat toBuffy the Vampire Slayer?
That beautiful special effect where hes transforming?
Yes, theres a definite influence.
Which isnt to say that Tieris storytelling isnt also impacted by classic horror characters.
When I approached them with this I said they have great stuff in their horror line.
They have zombies, they have witches.
But they dont have a classic movie monster.
This is my version (of that).
In the Wolf Mans case its a tragic story.
He doesnt want to be doing it and thats what we have here.
Its our ode to classic movie monsters.
But will other types of monsters find their way into the pages of the comic?
I love stuff likeFrankenstein vs the Wolf Man, you know what I mean?
Yes, we could definitely have other monsters.
I was always a Betty guy over a Veronica guy.
Theres sweet betty all American-girl but secretly shes been this bad ass werewolf hunter all this time.
Whether killing beloved characters or slaying expectations,Jughead: The Hungerseems unafraid to take chances.
Nothing reasonable seems off the table right now, and that inventiveness is infectious.
In addition to seeing other werewolves and werewolf hunters, something is going on in Riverdale.
Reggie might not be as dead as you thought he was and he may be gathering forces lets say.
Stay tuned on that.
Were not quite done with Reggie yet.
Like Jughead, we are hungry for more.
