Chilling Adventures Presents Jinxs A Cursed Life #1 cover a

The Archie Horror one shots have been a mixed bag. Most have been anthology books, which means you're going to get two quality stories out of three, max. This issue is a single story, so you're already winning, but what else should you know about it?


For one, this issue would fit in well with Afterlife With Archie or Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The horror elements are taken seriously, even if we're all having fun while we're there. Next, there's a consistent theology at play, necessary when your title features *SPOILER ALERT* Satan. The menace and consequences have to have some heft to them for the story to matter. Last, the issue has solid art, inappropriately solid art, for an Archie one shot. The strong facial expressions and consistent semi-realistic style add the finishing touches necessary to buy in.

(In an issue where Jughead doesn't want to eat hamburgers, that's mandatory.)
