Wam Reads 2024: Jughead: The Hunger Vol. One TP

Returning to the Archie Horror line of books, it’s time to get my gnashers into a more meaty read: Jughead The Hunger. A series which launched off the popularity of a one-shot, how does this stack up compared to much loved Sabrina and Afterlife with Archie books?

With no prior knowledge of this series before reading, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the direction taken. Rather than the more spine-tingling horror of Sabrina or the black comedy of Afterlife, Jughead the Hunger has a more campy 80s horror movie vibe. And this works wonderfully, as there is a lot going on within these first four issues as Frank Tieri sets up his version of Riverdale and the supporting cast.

Meshing together some classic werewolf horror tropes, coming of age, along with, of course the loveable nonsense of Riverdale character dynamics, Jughead is established to be a sympathetic character. Discovering himself to be a werewolf and out of control, he loses the life he holds dear, fleeing for the safety of well, everyone.

And things? Things don’t go to plan. For Betty is the latest in a long line of werewolf hunters, intent on eliminating Jughead. The reveal that she never was truly infatuated with Archie and used him to hide her true intentions is hilarious, and one of the many clever uses of classic Riverdale characterisations to give this story its unique twist.

The art and colouring is superb, with the softer colour palette making the gruesome scenes less gory, and more spectacular. This helps match the tone of the story, with this feeling like an action horror rather than images intent on giving you nightmares.

Overall this is a very fun read. The pacing of the issues means this is a book which won’t take you too long to get through, but there is plenty of bonus material in terms of variant covers, sketches etc for you to appreciate once you’ve finished the main issues. I’m definitely excited to see where his goes next, and just how much more trouble the hapless Jughead can get himself into!

dodalem "keep reading" bo sie rozpisałem

Gdy dostaje komplementy od ludzi to szczerze w nie wierzę, nawet lepiej niż to ja je szczerze czuję! To znaczy, że jak mi koleżanka powie "dobrze wygląsz" to nie mam takiej myśli - ona mowi prawde (w opozycji to myśłenia które pewnie większość zna (nawet jeśli tez teraz czujecie komplementy to pewne zdarzało wam się to kiedyś) - czyli myśli że tak naprawdę nie wygląacie wcale tak dobrze, że ktoś wam tak mówi z jakiegoś powodu).

Tyczy się to także moich bliskich z tumblera <3

Btw bardzo mnie cieszy że mam bliskich z tubmlera :3333 serio trafilem tutaj (na was :D) ale no na bardzo miłe, mądre fajne osoby. Niektóre są tak naprawdę najmlodszymi osobami z którymi się koleguje aktualnie. I myslalem sobie o tym ostatnio -> że jakos sporo osób ma znajomych w swoim wieku i może plus minus pare lat (im mlodsza osoba tym mniejszy ten plus minus np 20 latkowie to max 2 lata w gore w dół - tak zalóżmy) no i moim zdaniem tak naprawde w praktyce wychodzi że wiek nie ma najmniejszego znaczenia i mozna poznac super ogarniętą mądrą partnerkę do rozmów, dającą ci porady życiowe 17 latkę (co dla mnie oznacza 8 lat różnicy czy 8,5), to że z niektórymi młodymi osobami czy starymi sie nie dogadamy to nie jest przynajmniej u mnie kwestia ich wieku tylko po prostu tej osoby jednej konkretnej i jej cech - tak samo jak osoby z moim wieku są takie które polubie i takie z którymi mi sie ciezko dogadać.

I no nie mam na ten temat danych ale tak mi sie wydaje po prostu że ponieważ trudno jest tak naprawde miec duzo znajomych (to jest moim zdaniem umiejętność którą trzeba szlifować, ćwiczyć, dbać o te znajomości i mieć gdzie je rozwijac czyli element szczę��cia bo jak nie masz na kim sie uczyc budowania relacji to ci po pierwsze szczerze współczuje no i jest wtedy cieżko - ja np w wieku 25,5 czuje ze buduje relacje duzo lepiej niz nawet 3-4 lata temu, czuje sie pewniej, ze dogaduje sie z większą liczbą ludzi, że te znajomosci są jeszcze "szczersze" - naturalniejsze, ze moge byc bardziej sobą, no po prostu wszystko jest again (bo w wieku 22 lat tez bylem duzo lepszy niz w wieku 18) duzo lepsze.

No i tez fajnie miec po prostu znajomych mlodszych i starszych tak mi sie wydaje :3

bo jak ktos ma tylko znajomych tupu z klasy (z roku na studiach starsi) lub z pracy no to moze byc kwestia tego ze nie do konca są to super relacje tylko są to relacje z tym z kim sie dało i ciezko jest miec duzo quality ludzi jesli pula to tylko nasza klasa albo nasza praca, a jesli mamy po pierwsze większą pulę bo robimy cos w zyciu i jest gdze tych ludzi poznac (ja jestem w sumie introwertykiem dosc mocnym ale kocham ludzi i relacje, kocham rozmawianie z innymi, rozrywka intelektualna w postaci rozmów i ogolnie obcowania z innymi umyslami jest zajebista i to nie tylko intelektualna rozmowa ale takze intelektualna itd) Jesli zadajemy sie z ludźmi kazdego wieku to mamy o tyle wiecej ludzi niz jesli tylko naszych rówieśników.

No i dostałem ostatnio przemocne komlementy od paru koleżanek tu oraz paru osób irl i czuje sie ze sobą wspaniale (ma to związek z tym że coraz czesciej sie ubieram jak kobieta - moje pierwsze wakacje ever w shortach, pierwsze wyjscia na zewnątrz w sukience itd :3)

tak jak kiedys pisalem rok 2024 to rok na ostatecznie pokananie nalogu a rok 2025 to bedzie rok na poważniejszą tranzycje (przez co rozumiem nie hormony itd bo to są kolejne powazne kroki na ktore moze sie zdecyduje (poza hormonami na razie tylko operacja piersi jeszcze mi przeszla przez mysl jako opcja gdy juz bede w 100% funkocjonowac jako kobieta + potrawa to dluzszy czas itd itd itd i bede tego chcial) a hormony to tez odpowiednio np po calym roku (MINIMUM to jest moze znacznie dluzej poczekam) funkcjonowania jako kobieta juz tak spolecznie itd

w 2025 glownie chce zapuscic wlosy do czego musze przesunac przedzialek bo chce miec na srodku na 99% (zapuszczac juz zapuszczam), makijaż nauczyc sie i reuglarnie stosowac + dobrać do siebie jakis, moze zenskie imie i zaimki (znajomi juz czasem uzywają - pytaja mnie jak wole ja na razie lubię i tak i tak - a imie to chyba tereska/dorotka bedzie jedno z nich tak mysle).

Gdy pierwsze razy ubieralem sukienke w wieku 17 lat czulem sie tak magicznie cudownie radosnie to byla taka radosc którą moglem poczuc tylko robiąc to i ta radość wrócila teraz jak nosze damskie rzeczy - czyli innymi slowy to że przestalem sie przebierac wynikalo prawdopodobnie z kilku czynnikow ale nie tego ze mi przeszlo (np to ze rodzice sie dowiedzieli przy okazji pewnej grubszej akcji i zareagowali negatywnie (co prawda aktualnie mama nie reaguje negatywnie tylko pozytywnie z minutem bo srednio jest przekonana ale mnie wspiera po prostu wiecie mama to mama ona mnie widziala jako synka od 25 lat). Teraz idąc ulicą patrzę w dół na moje nuszki jak wygladaj magicznie i czuje sie tak wspaniale, w sukienkach tez

Wiec w sumie ja w męskich rzecach nie czuje sie źle albo ze cos robie za karę (btw to było moje najwazniejsze pytanie do kolezanki trans - czy to co ja czuje to może być bycie trans bo nie mialem nigdy mysli ze źle sie czuje jako facet ale mialem mysli ze wolalbym wygladac jak kobieta) i nadal tak jest tzn czuje sie ani źle ani dobrze jako mezczyzna (choc lubie swoje ciało i swoją osobę i akceptuje sie w 100%, mimo ze wole miec chudsze uda) ale to co czuje teraz czyli ze moj wygląd tak po prostu codzienny mi sprawia tyle radosci to jest magia i jak do tego dodamy ze szczerrze cuzje magie z powodu komplementow od kolezanek z tumblera i irl. Ja nawet sam sie czuje pięknie <3 a przypomne ze to jest sporo kg ponad ugw i ze nie uwazam ze mam chude nogi ani troszke.

Uwazam ze są przeciętne jak na kobietę ktora nie jest gruba (tak w polowie między chudymi a ksztaltnymi gdzie i chude i kształtne są ładnymi nogami, seksownymi itd - zależnie od osoby mozna lubic bardziej osoby z chudymi nuszkami (driffting) (ale nie zamykam sie na inne nogi ^^>) albo na kształtniejsze. No i wam powiemze zrobie osobnego posta o tym czy moje pragnienie chudosci to nie byla jakas forma nieakceptacji bycia facetem - ze dlatego chcalem byc tak chudym facetem bo nie lubilem bycia facetem a nie moglem byc kobietą (tak mi sie oczywiscie wydawalo tylko bo w tym roku doszeldme do wniosku ze tak naprawde ta myśli ze nie wypali mi z byciem kobietą to sie u mnie w zyciu pojawila i nigdy jej specjalnie nie weryfikowalem nie sprawdzalem czy serio by bylo aż tak trudno że nierealnie przejsc tranzyjces

tego posta zakończę podziękowaniem dla osob tutaj za komplementy ale tez za to ze jak pisze z wami o byciu kobietą to spotykam sie tylko z wsparciem, pozytywnymi reakcjami, takim nie zachecaniem ale wiecie - takim że w pełni to popieramy i dasz rade <3, PORADAMI (nieocenione jak mi pomagacie <3)

oraz zdjęciem które mi dzis zrobila kolezanka (od ktore przywiozłem do domu torbe taką typu IKEA pełną ubran ktore mi oddala bo by je wyrzucila i przymierzałem je dzis u niej i większosc sobie wzialem bo mi sie podobają <3 i to jak w nich wyglądam) dodatkowo wpadla na takie super zdjęcie gdzie widać mi plecy w lustrze więc mozecie zobaczyc jak wygladam w tej sukience od pleców i od przodu

ja sie sobie z niej podobam 11/10 po prostu kosmos jak piękną się czuje... i dziś przymierzając tę sukienkę oraz kilka innych sukienek/bluzek stalo sie jasnym że bardzo dobrze wyglądam w rzeczach odsłaniających ramiona jak na zdjęciu (oraz w paru nnych rzeczach ale to jedna z moich mocnych stron o ktorych nie wiedzialem a teraz tak sądzę)

nawet nie wyobrażacie sobie jak bardzo sie jaram bo totally uwazam ze look gdzie widać obojczyki i ramiona u kobiety w sukience mi sie tak bardzo w chuj podoba i teraz kurwa jestem kobietą z takim lookiem i mi sie to nadal podoba <3 dream come true totally

Greetings, passenger from abroad, and welcome to this hell of a blog. It's literally just my main blog where I post incoherent and useless shit so I doubt I'm going to get followers but oh well.

You may refer to me as toki, nada, albert (LMAO), zeeke, jimmy, gavrilo, ryan, or anything you're used to. pronouns are incomprehensible to the human mind. (Or you can call me a he for now!)

Current canon event (obsession/possible hyperfixation): ALBERT ARETZ (youtube flamingo), TDI. I'm also starting to read warrior cats

Random factors regarding my character that may indicate my personality and how it affects my interactions with you and the world(under the cut):

🇷🇸 × Slavic, Serbian, and really annoying about it

Freakblr soldier

Stupid dumb idiotic individual

I imagine everything to say in Albert aretz voice and I hope you do too

I write fanfiction, but also don't

I'm into messed up weird shit

My media this week (25-31 Aug 2024)

the truly unhinged chaos finale we needed

���� STUFF I READ 📚

😊 Murder By The Book (Nero Wolfe #19) (Rex Stout, author; Michael Prichard, narrator)

😊 Where There's A Will (Nero Wolfe #8) (Rex Stout)

😊 Sink or Swim (RELIC #2) (Maz Maddox, author; Kirt Graves, narrator) - immediately adored what a grumpy asshole Baha was (we did get his cameo in the prev book and he was hilarious there too) - fun action adventure, not quite as madcap feel as the first but still extremely entertaining

💖💖 +278K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

the kiss that lingers (greenbergsays) - 9-1-1: Buddie, 10K - cute, cute, cute. More fics should focus on kisses on Buck's birthmark!

god was a dog-man (spqr) - TW: Sterek, 12K - reread, still love this fic that made an ingenious and valiant effort to basically write fix-it for the movie

Just Another Page of Kinky Doodles - Inspired Art (kurozawa46) - MCU: Stucky, art - some really great art inspired by a really great series

Ordinary Life (astolat, Speranza) - SGA: McShep, 20K - I think this might be the first SGA fic I've read? At any rate, banger fic (as you'd expect from these authors) and you really need zero canon knowledge

What's with today, today? (Cecily_v, liminalmemories) - 9-1-1: BuckTommy, 4K - cute and fluffy au (literally fluffy since it's about stuffie day at the library)

Love Reading 🌡️ - August 2024 - Libra

Singles:

Who is Coming In: Death, 10 Swords, King of Cups

Regarding: 2 Wands

Long-Term Potential: 3 Cups

Either you’ve had a tumultuous history with this person or one of you has separately from this. This could also be someone you dated loosely as a child, like a school mate, someone you had a crush on when you were like 12. Or they act that way, there’s something young and spontaneous about this person, you may know them to be a player. Could be younger than you. They may have even played with you or you’re friends with them while they do it to someone else, maybe you are the player and they’re around - idk. It’s drama, and someone’s been deeply hurt when this even comes in (if it’s not an ex). Long-term shows a reunion, and it could go 100 ways but it’s not going to last. One night stand, maybe. See them at a mutual friend’s wedding, maybe. Kiss them under the mistletoe at a party and never see them again, maybe. They may suddenly leave your friend group or even the area you live in, all that’s in common here is this person isn’t sticking around 😕 I think 2 Wands & Grounding is more about you than them, you want something real & long lasting. Or that’s flipped and that’s why they’re leaving. Some of you may just stay friends with this person and they’re kinda in and out of your life, but like…they’re on your TikTok, not in your physical world.

GROUNDING 🪨

- Stability & Security

- Performance

- Growth & Endurance

Messages:

- 100% Fair

- New Perspective

There’s never an easy way to do anything worthwhile; through hard work, you learn.

Signs you may be dealing with:

Heavy Scorpio, Pisces & Cancer

Couples:

The relationship: The Magician & 9 Pentacles

The problem: 4 Cups

What to do about it: Queen of Pentacles & 10 Wands

Some of you are separating from someone and are spending more time focused on your work, and some of you could be having issues with your person due to someone having too much work or they’re always on call or something, you can’t really do much together. Some of you are purging your friend groups or noticing some jealous bitches from the sidelines that gotta go (or you just think they are/do.) If not, you may not be cutting out people entirely but you are doing everything on your own, without the help of friends. There’s something here about “not knowing who your friends are” and you could be feeling really insecure about that due to some situation that’s never gotten closure, or has never been addressed, could be with the same people, a group of…friends? Or dating.

The problem seems to be the lack of time, or priority rather, and where there is time it’s sudden and spontaneous. That could apply to intimacy too, you never see the person and when you’re feeling them it’s like they’ve got five minutes before walking out the door and you’re like “baaaaabyyyyy” so you have to make it quick. That’s what I got 😆 If you’re separating from someone or have, you don’t feel valued or chosen by this person, they’re not making you feel important to them. It’s all WAM-BAM and BYE, could be a fire sign 🔥 Either way, you feel there are things that need to be addressed and nothing has changed, 3 Wands rev indicates there won’t be any big changes during this retrograde season (and that’s probably for the best.)

What to do is all you can do, focus on the tasks you have some kinda control over, probably work. It’s a heavy burden for you to move away from this, not speak, not have answers to any of your questions, but I don’t see any progress this month. Unless you want a quick good time, that’s all that seems to be available with this person (or you). There’s no plan, no asking you out, no long term stability or higher value placed on this connection, that feels like what you’re craving. Even the message of “you make me so hot”, like this person may just be shallow af and you want to be COURTED. Properly. Or you won’t keep moving forward with this 🤷 It’s definitely in limbo this month, for a reason.

CUT DOWN 🪓

- Cutting Out

- Separation

- Stop the Pattern

- Silent Treatment

Messages:

- Nothing is an accident 💯

- You make me so HOT 🥵

Money doesn’t make you happy. It is the good you do with it that brings you joy.

Signs you may be dealing with:

Virgo, Cancer, Aries, Sagittarius & Aquarius

Betere hulp voor gezinnen met meerdere problemen

Om mensen met meerdere problemen beter te kunnen helpen is de Wet aanpak meervoudige problematiek in het sociaal domein (Wams) bij de Tweede Kamer ingediend. De Wams regelt dat gemeenten de wettelijke mogelijkheid krijgen om tot een gecoördineerde aanpak te komen voor mensen of gezinnen met meerdere problemen. Zo kan die hulp goed op elkaar worden afgestemd. Met dit wetsvoorstel kan ervoor gezorgd worden dat gemeenten en andere betrokken organisaties die deze gezinnen helpen, makkelijker gegevens kunnen uitwisselen. Staatssecretaris Van Ooijen van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport: “Sommige gezinnen hebben meerdere problemen waar verschillende organisaties voor naar een oplossing zoeken. Denk aan de situatie waarbij het verstandig is als een ouder thuis blijft voor de kinderen, maar dat vanwege de bijstand wordt ingezet op werk. Of een oudere mevrouw die zorgt voor haar echtgenoot met beginnende dementie, maar door een ongeluk die hulp niet meer kan bieden. Met de Wams lukt het gemeenten en organisaties straks beter om de problemen in samenhang op te lossen waardoor deze mensen beter kunnen worden geholpen.” Noodzakelijke wijzigingen Het helpen van mensen met meerdere problemen binnen het sociaal domein vraagt veel van gemeenten en professionals: alle partijen moeten goed samenwerken om tot een gezamenlijke oplossing te komen. Op dit moment is gegevensuitwisseling tussen deze partijen juridisch onvoldoende geregeld. Dit zorgt ervoor dat een onderling afgestemde aanpak van de problematiek vaak niet lukt. Dit is een van de belangrijkste knelpunten die de Wams straks oplost. Daarnaast zorgt het er ook voor dat mensen niet steeds dezelfde gegevens aan de gemeente hoeven te verstrekken. De uitwisseling van gegevens is overigens wel aan voorwaarden verbonden: alleen die gegevens die nodig zijn om gezamenlijk tot een gecoördineerde aanpak te komen mogen worden gedeeld. Bovenal worden de mensen om wie het gaat altijd betrokken. Om de Wams goed te kunnen laten werken is het nodig dat de dienstverlening voor het sociaal domein bij gemeenten op de juiste wijze is ingericht. Zo moeten onder andere de loketten voor zorg, jeugdhulp, bijstand, schuldhulpverlening en maatschappelijke ondersteuning goed kunnen samenwerken. Dit is in veel gemeenten nog niet het geval. Daarnaast kan afstemming ook nodig zijn met partijen buiten de gemeente zoals zorg- en onderwijsinstellingen en politie. De Vereniging Nederlandse Gemeenten, de Rijksoverheid en andere betrokken organisaties werken samen om gemeenten te ondersteunen bij een inrichting van hun integrale dienstverlening. De beoogde inwerkingtreding van het wetsvoorstel is op 1 januari 2024. Bron: Rijksoverheid Read the full article

India aims to be a US$5trillion economy with help of ‘valuable partner’ UAE: Modi

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi considers UAE a ‘valuable’ partner in achieving the Republic’s objective of becoming a US$5trillion economy by 2024-25, according to an interview he gave to WAM (UAE’s official news agency) yesterday.

Valuable Partnership “India has embarked on the ambitious, yet achievable, path to be a US$5 trillion economy by 2024-25. We are targeting about US$1.7 trillion worth of investments in the coming five years. To achieve this vision, the government is working to promote inflows from domestic as well as foreign sources,” he said. The Indian Prime Minister, who is on a two-day visit to UAE was upbeat about UAE-India relations being “at their best ever”, adding that adding that the UAE investments in key sectors – ranging from renewable energy, food, ports, airports, to defence manufacturing – in India are growing. “UAE investments in areas such as infrastructure and housing are being enhanced. The UAE is our third largest trade partner with about US$60 billion bilateral trade in 2018-19. Many of our companies are investing here in UAE. Both countries are working closely and vigorously to implement the commitment of US$75 billion investment by UAE in India. “I feel immensely proud of conveying that India-UAE relations are at their best ever,” added the Prime Minister.

Significant agreements Emphasising on the importance of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement, which was signed during the visit of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to India in January 2017 as the Chief Guest of Indian Republic Day, Modi added that both the nations have since then take enormous strides together to implement key agreements in areas including defence, security, investment in infrastructure, energy and more. In other words, “our relations are truly multi-dimensional,” Modi pointed out. This is Modi’s third visit to the UAE in the last four years and he believes that it will strengthen both the partnership between both the countries. “I am very upbeat about the trajectory of our relations and for opening up new areas of cooperation. I think there exist huge potential to make this cooperation a win-win (partnership) for both countries,” he added.

Indian diaspora in UAE The Indian Prime Minister, who received the Order of Zayed – the highest civilian award in the UAE, said he was “immensely proud” of the Indian expatriate community and their contribution in building a modern, diverse, and vibrant UAE. “Apart from the Indians whose remittances sustain their families back home in India, we are also witnessing a steady increase in investments into India by some of the top Indian business leaders in UAE.

Investment-led Growth According to the Indian PM, India has become “the fastest growing major economy in the world,” in the past few years and India’s vision for the next five years was to have an investment-led growth, the Indian Prime Minister said in spite of global economy facing some headwinds, he is confident that India’s fundamentals are very strong, driven by “numerous” strengths. “I am confident that the collective endeavour of 1.3 billion Indians comprising millions of farmers, hundreds of thousands of industrialists and young entrepreneurs and start-ups and women, will ensure this,” Modi said.

Wam Reads 2024: Predator vs Wolverine TP

It has been a long time indeed since I last opted to pick up a series in graphic novel format rather than single issues. Was this worth trade waiting for, or did I miss the hype train?

With Disney acquiring the rights to the old 20th Century Fox franchises, it was inevitable that some “versus” crossovers would hit the comics. And Predator vs Wolverine is certainly a smart place to start.

The premise itself is simple, but brutally effective. The Predator sets its sights on the deadliest prey around, the Wolverine. The next 100 years sees the pair engage in a cat and mouse game of Hunter and Hunted until we reach the decisive showdown.

Benjamin Percy’s script is solid, capturing Wolverine’s character well (and as a side note has me adding the hardcover editions of his run to my shopping basket, oops). Which is just as well, as the Predator as expected is very much a silent antagonist. Exploring the different eras of Wolverine’s history was fun, although some of the scenarios felt a little rushed or saw the conflict just sort of fizzle out which was a shame.

There are a variety of artists lending their talents throughout, ensuring each era has its own distinctive feel. Normally a collection of artists can make a story feel less cohesive, but here the different styles serve well to differentiate between segments of the story. Some of the gorier images certainly are rather gruesome, regardless of who pencilled them!

Overall this was a fun little read, being very much the equivalent of a “popcorn” movie. I definitely think this reads well as a collected edition, as I’m unsure if the series would have had the same momentum when read monthly. So no regrets missing the hype train here.

If you like either Wolverine or the Predator, you can’t really go wrong with checking this out.

Wam Reads 2024: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Book One TP

On an Archie Horror kick at the moment, having completed another long anticipated read!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has long been another of those Archie Horror titles which frustratingly went into creative limbo. Publication seems to have lost momentum with the Netflix show taking priority, amongs other challenges.

Which is a real shame. The first five issues have been collected in Book One, “The Crucible”. It’s dark. It’s twisted. It’s bloody. It’s bloody brilliant is what it is.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa tells a wonderfully chilling origin for Sabrina Spellman. The decision to make this a period piece set in the 60s is a fantastic one, with the whimsy charm of the era being a stark juxtaposition to the quite frankly, horrific world of the Witches and Warlocks.

With her 16th birthday on the horizon Sabrina finds herself torn between two worlds. With a difficult decision to be made, things… take a turn. This is a truly grim read, in the best enjoyable way. Often I found myself pausing, taking a few moments to process the scenes which were unfolding before my eyes. It really is grim and captivating stuff.

Talking of eyes the artwork by Robert Hack is perfect for the story. The pencils have some beautifully muted colouring, with the softer visuals helping to set an almost nostalgic scene for a bygone era. This helps the more startling visuals explode from page, jarring against their charming setting.

To date the next story arc lies incomplete with a further 4 issues published. If someone could let me know which dark ritual needs to be performed to revive this series, don’t hesitate to let me know!

Wam Reads 2024: Afterlife with Archie TP

I like comics. Quite a bit. In my time I’ve bought far too many shiny new reads that have sat on a bookshelf for too long. But no more! Aiming to crack out some reads and speedy reviews this year…

Finally after all these years I’ve read my copy of Afterlife with Archie. And yes, it lives up to all the hype.

Equal parts horror, comedy and tragedy, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s script perfectly has you as the reader on the edge of your seat, anticipating what could happen next. The voices of the iconic Archie characters are wonderfully captured, as all hell breaks loose and our survivors slowly come to grips with their new reality. They are on one heck of a wild ride, and you similarly go through an emotional rollercoaster!

You can’t not mention Francesco Francavilla’s artwork. It brings this gruesome story to life, with the colours giving the story a real 80s horror feel as the scenes unfold. The art is worth picking this up for alone.

Consider me added to the legions bemoaning the fact this glorious series went into development hell, with the second arc never collected in graphic novel form… as if never finished. To date #6 to 10 were released, with #11 and #12 never seeing the light of day.

Despite this I still would heartily recommend that folks check out this modern classic. It doesn’t disappoint (except for that fact the next chapter is tantalisingly close but so far, but minor details…).
