Résumé :
Réputé pour offrir une éducation de qualité, le lycée de Riverdale peut être fier de sa réputation. Jughead Jones, davantage connu pour les capacités de son estomac, y voit plutôt le lieu idéal pour savourer de délicieux repas. Mais lorsque sa sacro-sainte pause déjeuner est interrompue par un nouveau directeur impétueux, Jughead jure qu’il obtiendra vengeance ! Notre amoureux des burgers sera-t-il capable de n’en faire qu’une bouchée ? Jughead, le meilleur pote d’Archie, arrive sur le devant de la scène dans cette nouvelle série issue de l’univers de « New Riverdale » et scénarisée par l’inénarrable Chip Zdarsky (Sex Criminals). Dessinée avec énergie par Erica Henderson, Jughead réussit, à l’instar de ses séries sœurs, le tour de force de relancer un classique du comics tout en captant brillamment notre époque.

Avis de Anna :
« Jughead est mon nouveau héros ! Enfin de la représentation pour les aromantiques et les asexuels (même si seul le mot asexuel est utilisé, il est aussi aro c'est sûr)! C'est drôle, plein de folie et d'aventures loufoques, d'amour de la nourriture et d'amitié. »

Previously in this new revival series we’ve had the introduction to most of the main cast members as well as the main points of conflict. Archie #5 continues these plot lines as Betty and Jughead worry about Archie’s relationship with new girl Veronica. Though this issue highlights Reggie Mantle, giving him a proper reintroduction in this new series. As per usual, he’s out to cause trouble and all of Riverdale High are apt victims. While overall a good read, it certainly has less humor than previous issues.
As previously established, Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper used to be the hot ticket item before they broke up over the infamous Lipstick Incident, which was explained in issue number four. Now Archie is moving forward with Veronica but she’s treating him a lot like a servant. So, his best friend Jughead Jones is teaming up with Betty to try and break them up -for his own good, of course. However, they end up making a deal with the devil by asking Reggie for help since they’re not good at being conniving.
The story highlights Reggie and what a jerk he is, to the point that even loveable Archie who tries to like everyone can barely stand him. It also seems to be foreshadowing that perhaps our redheaded hero may get tired of Veronica being so pushy. Since she’s my favorite character, I’m personally hoping she gets a slice of humble pie soon and tones down her rich girl ways. This story had some good character development in it. Not as much zany and goofy humor, though the epilogue was satisfying.
This issue features a new artist from previous issues, however, she does a good job at keeping with the established style of the new series. The characters are drawn well, proportions seem right in my humble opinion and as someone who isn’t an art expert I liked it. My only personal issue was with Veronica, I wasn’t quite feeling her sense of fashion this issue. Most characters weren’t as well dressed to me as they have been previously. This, however, is very minor and a big issue. The characters has great expressions though I did feel certain panels skipped on detail and the general feel of the book was a bit minimalistic.
I felt this was a very solid issue. No matter if you’re pulling for Archie to be with Betty or Veronica, the romantic triangle is much more realistic than in classic stories. I’m eagerly awaiting for everyone to come together as friends but am enjoying the road these characters are taking to get there. As always, the issue comes with a bonus classic Archie story. This one is from 1948 showcasing how even then Reggie was a bit of a jerk. Also, Archie is a loveable goofball going to great lengths to impress a lady. In the case of this older story it’s Veronica. A great comparison piece to the modern story being told. Archie #5 delivers another good read for fans and leaves you wanting more.

Images from Archie #4 (2015-), published by Archie Comics, written by Mark Waid with artwork by Annie Wu, coloring by Andre Szymanowicz with Jen Vaughn alongside lettering provided by Jack Morelli. I was re-reading it recently. Totally recommended stuff!
The final line and picture really stuck with me. Because Betty tried something different (admittedly she was kind of bullied/forced into doing so), a.k.a. wearing clothing she normally doesn’t with lipstick, Archie telling her that this isn't her wasn't anywhere close to fair. I get that he's a high schooler and they've been friends forever. Not to mention, this is what severs their overall relationship too and was alluded to in #1-#3.
However, no one else gets to define who you are: she's still Betty Cooper and she that merely tried something different which culminated in the #lipstickincident. Archie Andrews, her boyfriend, should of been more supportive, not judgmental. It is interesting since Cooper's words of "Funny. You're still you" mirror my own about anyone that chooses to wear lipstick, eyeshadow, or not atypical wardrobe society randomly associates with being masculine or feminine. None of those erases or permanently alter who you are (your personality, what makes you, well, you).
That’s how I view it. And this is why this series of scenes genuinely spoke to me. #4 is special since it cemented my following of Archie Comics, a series I’d never had much interest in before. Unless it was Afterlife with Archie (2013-) penned by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with artwork/coloring/inking work by Francesco Francavilla plus letterer Jack Morelli or Archie vs. Predator (2015) by writer Alex De Campi, artist Fernando Ruiz, inker Rick Koslowski, letterer John Workman, and colorist Jason Millet.
