Jughead: The Hunger vs. Vampironica by Frank TieriMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Realities collide as Vampironica finds herself in the world of Jughead: The Hunger. Why are worlds colliding and can Veronica, Jughead, and Archie stop them from unraveling further?
Two of the big dogs of the Archie horror line collide in this book. It's not Aliens vs. Predator but it's still pretty good.
Someone reads from a magic tome and pretty soon it's Crisis on Infinite Archies up in Riverdale. Actually, it's not quite as massive as Crisis but you get the point. Monster killing fun is the order of the day in this book's gore-slicked pages.
I didn't really know how Frank Tieri was going to put the two Archie horror books together considering they're in parallel universes but this was better than I expected. Sabrina proved to be the catalyst and this proved to be more than a throwaway crossover. Secrets of both worlds were revealed and neither was left unchanged.
The Kennedys and Joe Eisma tore it up on art as well with Bob Smith, Ryan Jampole, Matt Herms, and Lee Loughridge on inks and colors. I've said it many times in the past but the Archie books know how to use the inks and colors to set the tone for a book.
Jugehead: The Hunger vs. Vampironica was just as fun as I imagined. Four out of five decapitated vampires.
