This issue presents a situation even more dire than what could have been inferred from issue #1 alone, and the confrontation of Jughead's cavalier attitude and eccentric problem-solving strategies by an obstacle that is perhaps more serious than he gave it credit for is a conflict I'm intrigued by " how a student learns to differentiate an abusive teacher from simply a difficult one, and what that conclusion may thus imply for them and their peers. Jughead, as we see, is an adaptive thinker, motivated so far by immediate inconvenience to create short-term solutions; it's a good, clear dilemma and again, I'm hooked already. Read Full Review

"Jughead" #2 is every bit a Jughead story; the new look isn't an overhaul so much as a simple tune-up. While the tweak serves its purpose in welcoming new readers to Riverdale, it also keeps existing ones engaged. Read Full Review

Jughead #2 builds cleanly from the first issue, proving that you really can pick a writer based on his tweets with the official account of a chain of family restaurants and pair him with a rising star artist to great effect. Read Full Review

Although the comic already seems to be falling into formula, Jughead 2 is a fun issue full of good dialogue and character moments. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned that the formula might start to wear thin soon, but right now, the other qualities of the comic are enough to make me come back next time.

This issue felt more realistic and plausible than issue one. I really enjoyed the detention scene and the interaction that allowed between Jughead and some other characters in Riverdale. I'm still not a fan of the art. But the writing is solid and the stories that Chip Zdarsky and Erica Henderson are presenting to readers fit perfectly within the Archie universe. Read Full Review

It's fun book, having never read an Archie comic, I enjoyed this. It had a few little chuckles and some good art. The recap page tells you everything you need to know about issue 1 so no need to go back, you can happily jump on now. Read Full Review

With a sense of humor that I felt largely didn't pay off and a visual direction that feels too sparse and samey (yet weirdly inconsistent in quality), not to mention a palette that felt too heavy in some places — particularly Jughead's dream –there is nothing really bad about Jughead #2, but also nothing that makes me want to stick around for more.
