Another volume of Archie Horror comics that is tons of fun for fans. Volume 2 of Jughead: The Hunger continues Jughead's zany story with lots of gore, fun, and a fitting art style. Highly recommended.
*sigh* I wasn't a fan of the first volume, and the second one hasn't brought anything new to the table either. Underwhelming art, cliché-ridden story and dialogue, infuriating plot-tangents in every chapter/issue. The only saving grace is the coloring and the occasional action-scenes which are handled pretty well compared to the other parts.
If Vol 1. wasn't bloody enough for you, The Hunger Vol 2. considerably increases the violence, horror and gratuitous entrails to an absurd level. Still, I was quite horrified. The story becomes more complex now because where there's a wolf, there's a pack. And where there's a pack, there's always offshoots. So not only is there a giant werewolf hunting organization, but now there's two warring bands of werewolves with separate agendas. A central character in this volume is Jughead's sister, Jell...
Once again, I loved this experience. Reading an Archie comic with mild curse words, blood, and gore in it is so strange yet so satisfying. The story continues well from Volume One and builds nicely with a clear arc but also much room for further development. I can't wait to read Volume Three and find out the repercussions of the deaths in this issue, the fight between Jughead and Reggie, Reggie and Veronica being pinned as the Riverdale Rippers, Hiram Lodge trying to find the truth, and Jelly Be...
The story continues with Reggie and his pack, and the Cooper Hunter clan closing in. Again the art was incredible - reminiscent of Francavillas work on Afterlife. The story was moved fast, from one point to the next. There was some nice history involved as well relating to werewolves and their history with Riverdale. Such a fun read and perfect for October.
With Reggie Mantle and his pack closing in, can Jughead evade the Cooper clan?Since the 50% off sale at the Archie store was too good to pass up, I snapped this one up like a werewolf on a rabbit after finishing the previous volume.Jughead The Hunger - Volume 2 collects issues 4-8 of Jughead the Hunger and picks up where the last volume left off. Reggie is building his pack, the Coopers are closing in, and Archie is conflicted. The art by the Kennedys, Joe Eisma, Bob Smith, Jim Amash, and Ryan J...
The second volume of The Hunger built significantly upon the first.Jughead Jones comes from a long line of werewolves, the likes of which have been hunted down by the Cooper family over the centuries. Betty Cooper is no different, following in the footsteps of her ancestors. Yet, when Jughead fails to kill one of his victims, instead merely infecting them, things begin to spiral out of control. Maybe Jughead and the rest of the Joneses are the least worrisome pack of werewolves around, after all...
jughead continues being a werewolf, half the town have been turned and are part of reggie's evil pack, jellybean gets kidnapped, hotdog is murdered.. shit is basically continually hitting the fan. i fuckin love this series. it's a great time and the art is vibrant and beautiful and perfectly horror. hell yeah etc. 5/5.
3.5 starsThis was a slight improvement over the previous issue, but the thing that irritates me the most about this series is how many missed opportunities there are to make the comic more interesting. The climaxes seem decent at best, the characters can be improved and the subplots that keep being introduced are not that interesting. I'm hoping that the third volume will fix all of these issues.
While not nearly as good as the other supernatural Archie books, the series did pick up with this volume. Reggie goes after Jughead's family setting up a confrontation between the two. This has turned onto an ongoing which may be a mistake. I'm already seeing a tendency to rehash the same plot threads, but that's not surprising given Tieri's writing skills.
After a decent first volume, the second installment of Jughead: The Hunger is a marked improvement. With Jughead returning to Riverdale and a bevy of familiar faces arrayed both against him and alongside him, the stakes suddenly feel a lot more real. While I'm not familiar enough with the extended Riverdale cast to really feel invested in them, the renewed focus on Jug, Archie, and Betty makes things a lot more compelling than before.The artwork in each issue is split evenly between Pat and Tim
This series really finds its groove in this installation. The story continues to be full of page turning action and adventure. The world has really developed well and every element previously set up is in full force. Unfortunately even less of this story takes place in Riverdale and most of the charades still just play as shadows of themselves. There are a few cute in character moments in this volume, but it was almost worse because it made me realize how much I was craving those moments in this...
25/9/19 REVIEW:I really enjoyed this volume! I was a bit unsure which direction this comic was going after the first volume, but I'm really enjoying the story ARC. I'm not easily spooked by comics, but there was one part in which we found out that someone is a werewolf and it I was shook at that moment. I think that particular revelation is going to have big consequences for the next volume, so I can't wait for that one to come out!You can find me onYoutube | Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Websi...
When everyone's a werewolf, are werewolves even interesting? So many writers go down the path of packs of werewolves, but I'll always be a solitary werewolf kind of guy.Similarly, so many writers run out of things to say about werewolves pretty quickly, and turn their werewolf story into a gun story instead. Gun stories (like gun movies) are inherently boring.Finally, there's a logical (if repetitive) story arc in the first four issues in this collection, and then a fifth segment that I guess sp...
I was enjoying this at first, but then their lore was completely contradicted without evident explanation. Although I viewed the first volume negatively as well, I planned to finish this series so I could have more insight to some of the crossovers. I will still finish this series, but maybe with less hope. The art is good, at least. Overall, a 1/5.
Veronica: Us fighting over Archie is hardly new. Why should this time be any different?Archie: Well… in the old days, you never had actual claws at my throat and Betty wasn’t packing heat. So… there’s that. Love the plot and all of the gore! Would be even better if all the artwork was done by Michael Walsh. I didn't love this as much as the first volume, that one contained more reveals.
Deepening character development and laying the groundwork for more interesting subplots to come, the second volume of this violent Archie Horror series is a more satisfying read than the first, even if it lacks the gory kitsch of the early issues.There's no image as striking as issue one's shot of a decapitated Miss Grundy, but this collection benefits from cool artwork and thrilling scenes of the Cooper clan facing off against bloodthirsty werewolves, as well as the enhanced development of supp...
As a pack of bloodthirsty werewolves in Riverdale plot their revenge on Jughead, the Coopers are making plans of their own.Archie is caught in the middle between his best friends when Jughead returns and Betty has a tough choice to make.I did enjoy this one more than the first (issues #1 - #3). The storyline was much better and things got pretty gory. Also the backstories were an interesting addition I really liked.My one major complaint was Jughead's sister Jellybean, well how she was drawn to
The sudden change in artists is pretty jarring. Particularly because the changes happen mid-scene in each issue. It’s one thing to change in one issue, but a scene isn’t even finished when the other artist jumps in. Also, Jellybean, Jughead’s sister looks waaay too much like Betty, which is another problem because one artist draws her significantly younger, but the other just makes her look much closer in age with the main characters. I realize I’m just complaining about the art, but in comics t...
This is a collective review of all volumes 1-3 of Jughead: The Hunger.Of the various Archie reboots, the Archie Madhouse imprint is especially interesting, recasting our iconic cast in legit horror stories where the survival rate is far, far lower than 100%. Here, we get a fun, gory spoof on exactly *why* Jughead has such a bottomless stomach - he is a werewolf who has been killing people around Riverdale! Before long, his friends are pulled into his ordeal and what follows is a story that has a...
