Comments: “Run Like A Wolf” Part 1.
Jughead as a werewolf has attacked Reggie. Reggie is pretty bad off. Then things get worse.
Jughead meanwhile has joined the circus. The art of Jughead as a werewolf wearing his crown is a frightening sight. The other characters though are poorly illustrated, they lack definition.
This issue flows along just like a werewolf movie. Betty and Archie are his friends out to find him or kill him.
Betty’s personality has her tough as nails and then some. Her and Arch and joined by Bo Cooper Betty’s cousin. He is a weird looking guy.
Just wait until you get a look at the new Reggie. You are going to lose it.
Jughead as a werewolf makes for a huge twist in the Archie Universe. Werewolves are real here.

Comments: “Run Like A Wolf” Part 2.
Reggie makes one terrifying werewolf. But what is up with him and Veronica?
Archie, Betty, and Bo are werewolf hunters. Now here they are joined by a few more people and you will be surprised by who they are. They are not your typical werewolf hunters.
There is a lot of mysteries here. Just how many werewolves are there? How long have the Coopers been hunting them?
This issue is not all that gruesome. As far as violence goes it is turned down while the art on these fearsome creatures is mega horrific.
Riverdale and beyond has turned into a late-night horror movie that is all too real here.

Comments: The werewolves are illustrated as frightening creepy monstrosities.
Archie, Betty and her cousin track down Jughead and Bingo in their wolf forms. A fight ensues and it gets bloody. Even Archie joins in.
This issue has so many werewolves in it. You will lose count.
Reggie Mantle has his own pack now. They are made from a various collection of people he knew.
This story is written like a horror movie set in Riverdale and with the Archie characters. As you see the werewolves they are thinking and planning. They are far more than just wild beasts. The werewolves are intelligent and they are looking at the humans as food.

Comments: Aunt Elena's first time hunting werewolves was a bloodbath. We look back at parts of her life to see how she got to be head of a werewolf hunting clan.
Here we see a werewolf and a werewolf hunter have fallen in love. The werewolf hunting family's leader now he is a pig headed stubborn man.
Elena and Jonah are in love just Elena is more in love. She would sacrifice anything for him. He though would not do the same. It is sad well until Elena the werewolf hunter does what she was born to do.
Elena now in the present time is shown in charge and takes steps to handle Jughead Jones. This Jones teenage is going to be trouble. It is strange he is not in this issue but his presence is felt throughout the whole issue. He is like someone stalking in the shadows waiting to pounce.

Comments: Jughead is on the run. It is not easy being a new werewolf. Jughead is shown just mopping and skulking around. As Jughead he does not come across as fierce but rather pitiful.
Jughead finds himself in a dire situation. All his friends are now after him. How will he react? Will Jughead the werewolf go all berserk? Why does Reggie want Jughead back home?
Nothing much of anything happens this issue. There is some setup for next issue but that is it. A little drama between Betty and Archie. Everything though is so subdued.
The way the characters are handled if not for the names you would not recognize them as being from Archie Comics.
The slight werewolf art is dark yet still good just there is not enough of it.
Jughead is one survivor and a fighter when he needs to be. He should never be counted out.

Comments: There are werewolves in Riverdale. Archie is left between Betty and Jughead a werewolf hunter and a werewolf.
Veronica makes one great big ugly werewolf. She is drawn flat chested though. More detail and a sharper focus to the art would help. There is a little action this issue but not much.
The hunters are closing in on the hunted but which is which.
Jughead may be a werewolf now but there is one thing he cares about still and it is not food. Jughead and Archie do stick together as best friends.
The story line needs more excitement and action in it and more build up of horror. The building on the outskirts of town is a nice setting. Reggie and his pack do not seem overly ferocious.
Jellybean is illustrated as a cute little girl but with little fear for the situation she finds herself in. Her character while not really gotten into a lot shines in this issue.

Comments: Reggie and Jughead in their werewolf forms face off. Veronica has Archie cornered. This leads to Veronica and Betty facing off. Werewolf versus werewolf hunter.
The other werewolf hunters show up and they are all packing heat and silver.
Betty steps up. For her friends and her love for Archie.
Veronica and Reggie are now leading a decidedly different like style.
Betty's aunt Elena is the head of the werewolf hunting clan. She is one tough woman and Betty takes after her.
Aw Jughead and Jellybean, brother and sister they love each other so much.
This comic is a walk on the dark side. This is what happens when the Archie comics cross over with a horror movie. Werewolves do run wild in the streets of Riverdale.

Comments: Goody Jones we see here is on the stake and the accused of witchcraft, satanism and lycanthrophy. The scene is illustrated intensely.
A TV reporter is doing a episode about "Werewolves of Riverdale: The Untold Story". Here we get a look at the facts of what has gone on and what currently is going on. The reporter does have a warped view of the real story. Her version stays within the parameters of reality. Even thought it is still far fetched.
Miss Suarez the reporter even has an in studio guess to interview. Will this guess be able to uncover the truth about werewolves in Riverdale? They do have the resources. Will he like the answers though.
This issue is about building up your interest by relaying the facts about Riverdale and its citizens. There is not much action here but some character building will hold your interest.
You will know more about the werewolves of Riverdale after reading this.

Comments: So what will happen next in the town of Riverdale? The Riverdale Ripper's victims bodies are going missing. Betty is one tough girl and hunting a grave robber puts her skills to the test.
Now Betty finds some of those victims bodies only thing is they are not so much victims anymore. Dilton and Moose have changed they represent a threat now. Betty may be used to fighting werewolves but these two are something else entirely.
The art is dark letting you know this is a horror story. You will feel afraid when Jughead transforms. He is a scary sight as a creature you never want to meet in real life.
This issue does spend to much time with the characters standing around talking.
Adding monsters other than just werewolves does add a needed something new and dark and twisted.

Comments: FrankenMoose is drawn almost as a cartoon while has actions label him a threat. His attack seems as much funny as scary.
The coloring of the characters skin is done with blue a lot. Is this to show its night time or that there are supernatural menaces about? If so it does not work.
Having werewolves and other monsters on the loose in Riverdale does give us a different look to this carefree town.
The surprises just keep coming. The horror to. Werewolves are not the only evil on the loose in Riverdale. For all the creatures this comic is just not scary. Having a more threatening situations occurring with more build up to them would work better.
What happens when you take one mad scientist, his monster and a werewolf? Plus add in a werewolf hunter plus Archie. Will they all survive this encounter? It is thrilling. Plus the cliffhanger ending is a nice touch to get you to come back.

Comments: Milton Doiley is a mad scientist. His creation Frankenmoose is in heated battle with Betty, Archie and Jughead. This battle leads to monsters on the loose. Milton though in the end turns out to be not all bad. This issue Jughead is in the background. Milton is in the forefront with Frankenmoose.
We learn who Milton's boss is and also a secret about Dilton.
The battle between Frankenmoose and Jug Wolf is tame. It is a anti-climatic fight. Frankenmoose should have been portrayed as more of a monster.
the art throughout this issue does not show off the characters well. This is suppose to be as much horror as adventure. There is little of either here.
The characters needed to be used better. Midge was cute being shown still in love with Moose no matter how much he is now different.

Comments: Jughead Jones's father FP Jones is one tough and rough looking werewolf.
Jughead's cousin Bingo puts in an appearance. He is drawn to show is evil side coming through. He is there for a reason and sets up a distraction to keep Jughead, Betty and Archie busy while he acts in character being his true self. Bingo does act somewhat insane which for a werewolf makes him all the more dangerous.
This issues flies by and is over so fast you hardly get into it before it ends.
Jughead does make for a frighting werewolf but Betty makes for an even scarier werewolf hunter. Jughead does mount a fine line between monster and human. You will feel sad for Jughead he did not ask to be a werewolf. So he is pathetic and a horror. You will want to help him and also to run terror.

Comments: The Jones family has its share of werewolves and Jughead, Jellybean and Bingo. As all three meet it becomes clear Jellybean is not your ordinary werewolf. Betty and Archie certainly have their hands full dealing with these werewolves.
Jellybean is illustrated as a cuddly furry creature when she is changed. She does not appear frightening. Not like her siblings who are both creatures of destruction waiting to happen. They are deadly teeth and claws.
We learn more about the Jones werewolves. The pack meets Jellybean. We are also shown an alliance. This alliance is not one you would expect but it does make sense. Things are heating up and getting ready for a confrontation that will lead to one exciting meeting. A war is coming and which side will win is unsure. It might just be the wild animals.
Archie comics has certainly gone down a dark path with this series.
