Jughead #16

Jughead Jones looks hilariously cornered on Derek Charm's lively cover, bracing himself in a doorway as a crowd of excited girls surrounds him — Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe visible in the background behind the chaos. It's a perfectly expressive snapshot of Jughead's perpetual predicament, rendered in Charm's clean, energetic style. With Mark Waid and Ian Flynn sharing writing duties, this 2017 Archie Comics issue promises plenty of the sharp humor and heart that make this series such a good time.
