In the latest title to enter the Archie
reboot, Archie’s pal, Jughead Jones takes a title role. Given how enjoyable
I’ve found Archie, I decided to take a look at this one. Much like last time,
I’m not going to review covers because there are tonnes of them and I will riff
on the side-stories at the end after the scores. I won’t be scoring them because
they’re not original content and they’ve aged a bit since their original
releases. With that said, let’s dig into to our favourite hamburger enthusiast
in Jughead #1-4

4 Issue Test #21 - Nova
No blank variant again and I can't be bothered to edit a new one, so here's a sh*tty-looking variant instead |
Nova was a title I picked up on a whim, I
was not initially intending to pick up his title (the same goes for Ant-Man and
Uncanny Avengers btw) and Nova does not make the first impression since he’s
the hothead of Ultimate Spider-man. But I’m willing to give everything a second
chance, so let’s dig into Nova #1-4

4 issue Test #20 - All-New All-Different Avengers
For the first time in a Marvel comic, I haven't been able to find a blank variant, so I had to edit the background out, apologies if it looks sh*t like my DC ones |
I suppose this is really the flagship title of the Marvel comic universe at the moment. Featuring some of the big name characters, all be it their new incarnations in some cases and written by Mark Waid, writer of two of my favourite comic series. Can this live up to that potential? Let’s take a look.

4 issue Test #19 - The Astonishing Ant-man
Time I looked into another All New All
Different Marvel Title. What’s that? I did one just 2 weeks ago, well get used
to it, there’s plenty more on the way.
Scott Lang, AKA Ant-man, former criminal
trying to find right in the eyes of the world, and particularly his daughter,
since she was the reason he resorted to crime in the first place. She became a
superhero briefly, and also died and came back to life, just like him… Yeah,
it’s comic books. What’s in store for our hero now? Let’s take a look.

#33 - Superhero Movie
I love Superhero Movies. They’re my favourite genre of movie and it’s almost
guaranteed these days that I’ll watch a Superhero Movie. (A few indie films
notwithstanding) but I won’t deny that they can be formulaic. There’s plenty of
clichés that come with superheroes that make the genre perfect for parody,
here’s a guide of how not to do it.
Superhero
Movie is another of those ‘movie movies’ that “satirises” popular movies in a particular genre. The most popular is the ‘Scary Movie’ which has spawned a
fluttering of sequels. The basic formula is sadly a bunch of references with
little to no effort. And whilst I’m not above making references myself
Epic Movie
particularly has them ad-nauseam. How
bad is this one? Let’s dig in
