Archie; $3.99

Something is seriously wrong with Jughead, and Archie is at a loss for how to help his best buddy. Then he remembers all the stories they tell about his schoolmate Jinx and that’s when the would-be rocker steps in to assess the situation. Is Jughead just sick? Is he in need of a cheeseburger? Or has Hell itself gotten ahold of him. Jinx is on the case.

This comic by Magdalene Visaggio, artist Craig Cermak, and colorist Ellie Wright is dark and twisted with a splash of humor. Jinx is clearly tired of the rumors about her and just wants to start a rock band. Fortunately for Jughead, she’s willing to face those rumors and their relevancy head-on to help him out.

The story is entertaining, the art delivers multiple creepy panels, and a few jokes lighten the tension.
