Jughead with Archie Digest #198

In "After the Game," Veronica’s fury over Archie and Reggie’s brawl during the hockey match sends shockwaves through Riverdale’s usual dynamics. As the boys nervously wonder if she’ll favor Jughead now that he’s stepped into the spotlight, the quiet tension between them sets the stage for something unexpected.

In "Merry Mischief," Archie is reluctantly roped into playing Santa at a children’s party after Mr. Weatherbee can’t continue, but his attempt to spread holiday cheer quickly spirals into chaos—especially when the girls’ playful plan takes an unexpected turn.

In "A Wing and a Prayer," Archie races against time when he learns a bridge has collapsed along the route the Lodges are taking. With no other way to reach them in time, he straps on a hang-glider and launches himself into the sky, determined to intercept the car before disaster strikes.

In this festive parody of "The Night Before Christmas," Mr. Lodge finds himself caught in the middle of a snowball fight between Archie and his friends, sparking a grudge that leads him to plot revenge with a high-tech snow machine. Just as he’s about to strike, the boys surprise him with a gift that turns the tide—before you know how it all unfolds, the holiday spirit takes a surprising turn.
