I want to give it a 3.5 but a 4 will have to do.

Jughead Jones learns he's a werewolf. Unfortunately, he's not the only one who knows about his full moon excursions. Filled with guilt over those he killed, he decides to go on the run. Betty and Archie are hot on his trail though and won't stop until they find him. Unlike the Vampironica novel and graphic novel being almost identical, the Jughead novel and graphic novel are quite a bit different.One thing I really loved was the detailed artwork and the coloring used for this one!The storyline h...

A really bland horror-ish story that turns Jughead into a werewolf and Betty into a discount Buffy, the werewolf slayer. The first five pages of this were really good and quite funny, but then it all went downhill from there and turned into a typical by the numbers B-movie type slasher. The best part of the entire collection was the first issue of Vampironica by Greg and Meg Smallwood included in the back which so far looks much more promising than Frank Tieri's take on Jug-wolf.

This was a blast! I don’t know why it took me so long to read this since it’s such a quick read. Guess I have to order volume 2 now! 🌕🐺

Archie Comics has done some amazingly good horror comics in recent years and this is sadly not one of them. Instead it's an entirely mundane horror story. Jughead is a werewolf. He rips people apart. Betty is Buffy the Werewolf Slayer. Archie is Riley. There's no nuance here, no originality. It mainly stands on its grotesque body horror as people are dismembered.By the end, as the number of werewolf proliferate, the comics getting pretty old. Ah well.

4.0 Stars This is a super fun twist on the classic Archie comics for readers like myself who prefer everything with a little bit of horror. This was entertaining with some great twists and turns.

When I first read Afterlife With Archie, which was the first of the more mature Archie horror comics, I was blown away. The theme of the comic is zombies and it was amazing how well the horror transitioned into the world of Archie. The fact that we knew the characters only made the series that much more horrifying, as it felt like terrible things were happening to people we know. This series, however, isn't on that level.We find out Jughead's family is a line of werewolves, and Betty's family is...

Okay so I don’t have a good experience with Archie comics or their characters.For one, the constant fan service with 14-17 year old girls is creepy (not in this one fortunately). Yeah, I get it’s not as bad as some comics out there and they are in high school so it’s not like they’re sexualizing characters that are too young to even fully understand that stuff but really, it doesn’t even have shit to do with the story making it seem pervy and honestly, it put me off reading anything published by...

2.5A half-baked horror spinoff trying to cash in on the long-delayed Afterlife with Archie. Tieri can't or won't stick to the characterizations of the Archie gang and everything is so blandly predictable. The book is rated Teen+ but with the exposed spinal columns and spilled intestines there's no way this would fly in my library's YA collection.

An alternate title for this one could also be, Jughead: The B-Movie Werewolf Story.So far, I've thoroughly enjoyed Archie Horror ( Afterlife, Sabrina, and an old Anthology) but they can't all be winners, right? And sadly, this just didn't seem have the same magic the others had.The premise is a play on Jughead's famous hunger for food. Now his hunger is more nefarious...You know, cuz he's a werewolf and they like to eat people burgers.Ok, and all of that could be clever if done right. Really!But...

I thought this was a great read for the Halloween season. This takes our famous characters from the Archie gang and gives it a horror genre twist. Jughead is a werewolf and Betty is a werewolf killer. I mean there is nothing extra special here, but it is fun to see our squeaky clean teenagers take on different roles in these pages.I like Jughead a lot and he was still the most interesting character in these pages. The back has a quick issue on Veronica being a Vampire. It was kinda funny. I'm li...

Murder, blood, and mayhem come to Riverdale in the form of Werewolves. I’ve never thought that I would say this but I’m really enjoying the show Riverdale and adding something else I love into the mix is a definite bonus. The Hunger was a great addition to the dark side of Archie comics. It was spine-chilling, unique, bloody as hell, and I loved every gory page. This is one graphic novel series that I’ll continue to read.

A neat idea as far as the original one-shot issue goes, but needs a lot more effort to sustain itself as a series, and this rip-off of TV's Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer doesn't really cut it. The script is generic and slapdash, throwing in ideas and scenarios that are never developed, and some of the art is hard to parse, both sequentially and in some panels only because the colouring marks out poorly arranged artwork.(Read as single issues.)

Archie Comics tries to cash in on the success of Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina with a werewolf Jughead book. This is B-movie level bad. Jughead finds out he's a werewolf after murdering several people in Riverdale. Betty fills in as Buffy the Werewolf Slayer and goes to hunt him down with Archie and her werewolf hunting family. It teeters back and forth between graphic violence and utter boredom.

I'm so excited about this series and glad that I'm behind, so I have catching up to do. It's exactly what the introduction says it is: classic Americana in two ways--Archie Comics AND horror. I've never been a horror fan until I started watching horror movies from the 1930's until the 1960s. I love the noir style, the campy style, the obviously fake gore, the outlandish plotlines, the obsession with technology that came in the 1940s and 1950s, the atmosphere, the music, the over-the-top acting,

Jughead Jones has a secret, and even he isn’t aware of it – he’s actually a werewolf. When omes to light, no one in Riverdale will ever look at him the same again. In fact, some people are down to murder him on sight. Sensing danger, and desperate to protect his friends from his darker side, Jughead goes on the run. But you can’t run from your demons, especially when they’re inside you.Archie’s horror line has kind of stalled since Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is kind of busy writing and producing Riv...

Jughead Jones harbors a terrible secret: he is a werewolf from a long line of werewolves! Fortunately, Betty Cooper comes from a long line herself...On the heels of reading Afterlife with Archie back before we were all self-isolating, I took advantage of Archie comics having a 50% off sale and snapped this up like a werewolf on a high school teacher.At first glance, this looks like it's riding the coattails of Afterlife with Archie. Jughead is a werewolf, running amok in Riverdale. While AoA may...

Finally an awesome werewolf story- of course I had to go to comic books to find it! This might be my favorite of the Archie Horror Comics (and I LOVED Sabrina!) This volume is 1/2 camp fun and the other 1/2 gore and great werewolf story-telling! Jug is tormented with what he's become, Archie is conflicted about how to stop Jughead's blood lust, Reggie is up to his old tricks, and Betty is a surprise bad ass! The producers of Riverdale are sitting on a goldmine if they'd use their cast to make th...

So far, so fun.I'm a sucker for a good werewolf story, and this one honestly isn't half bad. While a lot of the appeal is the fact that it is another horror comic in the Archie universe, it could decently transcend those trappings to be a straight up horror comic with ease. Part of the fun is seeing the classic characters re-imagined and clashing with one another in new and inventive ways.The plot is not overly complicated or rigorous. In truth, it doesn't really need to be. Jughead is a werewol...

The Archie Horror imprint of Archie Comics is fantastic. Afterlife with Archie and the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are favorites of mine. Jughead as a Werewolf is awesome too, because who doesn't love werewolves, but maybe the story isn't quite up to par with it's predecessors. Fantastic artwork by Michael Walsh and Pat & Tim Kennedy, though. Still worth checking out. I just felt the writing could be a little more substantial, in-keeping with the raised bar of Afterlife and Chilling Adventure...
