Chip's final arc where Archie and Jug go into the woods was a good end to his run. And then Ryan North (the beloved writer of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl for the past several years, who loves putting extra jokes in the margins for free!) steps in and issue #9 dials it way up. The transition works, the introduction of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as the "Burger Girl" mascot for Pop is great, and seeing Jughead nervously navigate being asexual in a place and time where everyone assumes hormonal hetero drive is on high is endearing. I gotta admit, Ryan's constantly sarcastic tone in the margins is not nearly as good as the narrator's voice he's developed on SG.

I LOVED Jughead Vol. 1 so I had my fingers crossed with 2. And I liked it! Not quite as much overall as Vol 1, but this volume was tons of fun.
The first story of Vol 2 focused on Archie and Jughead, and it felt the weakest. It was slow to start, but once it shifted, I loved Jughead's story after. Jughead meeting the burger mascot and getting so confused about his feelings? SO CUTE.
Jughead with Sabrina was adorable and so very Jughead. I adored their story and their friendship is everything.
As a huge Jughead fan, I adore this version of Jughead and just wish more was being made!
Jughead and Reggie's FRIENDSHIP MONTAGE made me LOL. What a delight.

Jughead Volume 2 collects issues 7-11 of Jughead.
I'm nearing the end of my Archie stash but I needed something uplifting after all the Mark Russell books I've read recently so I picked this up. I figure I can always grab more Archie books next time they have a sale.
Anyway, this book collects two stories. In the Chip Zdarsky one, Archie and Jughead go camping and find themselves first at the Mantle family reunion, then lost in the woods. It was some good mindless fun. In the second story, by Ryan North, Jughead becomes infatuated with a woman in a burger suit who turns out to be a certain teenage witch. This would normally be a spoiler but Sabrina takes up half the cover. The second story was right up my alley, probably because of the Pratchettesque footnotes.
Jughead's portrayal as being asexual is new to me but I thought it was in keeping with the character's history since he's more interested in burgers than women. Both Zdarsky and North give Jughead more depth than he's had for most of his history. I love Derek Charm's art. It's a sleek style that has echoes of the classic Archie style without being bogged down by it. I'd like to see more of what he's done. Hell, I'd love it if he did Plastic Man. Also, I say it in almost every Archie review but I love the way they handle color in their books, using it to set the mood without going overboard with computer effects.
Jughead, Volume 2 is a lot of fun and contains the best man/woman in a burger suit romance I've ever read. Four out of five burgers.

Jughead. Why read this? Because Chip Zdarsky, that's why.
Jughead wanting to date a giant hamburger? Great.
Funny, fun, good readin'. If I had to make a critique, I like the Chip Zdarsky issues better than the Ryan North issues. I don't find the two interchangeable.

I’m just so thrilled that Archie and Jughead have been rebooted. It is such fun revisiting these old childhood friends!
And, in this volume, we get another character returning to the fray: Sabrina the Teenage Witch! Terrific fun read. Always sorry it is awhile between volumes!
