Jughead Vol. 1 Review

Chip Zdarskey was the perfect man for the job. His quirky, deadpan, and at times distracted narrative voice rambling on hamburgers and fourth wall breaks about writing the comics is the perfect segueway to getting into the one of a kind world of Jughead. He is having a ball in showing how Jughead is the…

Ranking Archie “New Looks”

Yes, the new more realistic style of the early 200s that sent shockwaves through the Archie fandom from those who were excited by this new style and those who were apalled. Either way, it provided new stories, new characters and new fun from everyone’s favorite teenagers. The Matchmakers: If anti-dating, food loving Jughead falling in…

The Archies Review

I’m reviewing The Archies as one whole thing instead of two separate volumes as vol 1 only collects the first 3 and vol 2 collects the other 4. It’s 7 in all and really didn’t need to be split apart as they all follow smoothly into each other in one seamless musical journey.

A origin sory to The Archies two volumes detailing their life as a band on the road, Alex Segura and Matthew Rosenberg work together to bring this cute one-shot detailing how the band got together. It’s a pretty typical narrative where Archie is desperate to start working on his dream of making music that people…

The Lunar Chronicles: Gone Rogue Review

The conclusion to Wires and Nerve has Iko and her resentful new collegue Liam Kinney to face Alpha Steele’s threats once and for all. The prologue/recap starts the book with an action movie tone that gives readers a hint of one hell of ride coming up.
