Exclusive Archie Comics Preview: Jughead: The Hunger #1

Ahead of Monday's final order cutoff, Archie Comics has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of Jughead: The Hunger, writer Frank Tieri's bizarre and terrifying journey into the madness that a bottomless hunger can create.

Spinning out of the events of a one--shot by the same name, Jughead: The Hunger sees the titular Riverdale teen dealing with his changing body -- but it isn't teenage hormones but a serious case of werewolf that's got ol' Jug down.

"If you think of Jughead: The Hunger in werewolf terms, the one shot was a bite. The series is where you get devoured," said Tieri. "With the one shot, that was really just the beginning of a much larger story that fans will see play out in the series. More than anything, we'll really be expanding on our universe. We know of the existence of other Jones werewolves and other werewolf hunting Coopers... in the series, we'll see them. We'll see that werewolf Jug is only a part of a much bigger lore and landscape"
