The F-Word Was Just The Start Of It – Archie Comics' Black Hood #2

As Duane Swierczynski says in the letters page of Black Hood #2,

bh9

But will Black Hood #2, out today, live up to issue #1? Will we have any more firsts? Yes, we do.

bh1

It may be a euphemism. But this is also the first WTF in Archie Comics.

bh2

The first drugs-induced fight scene, unless you count that time Jughead had too many oddly looking mushrooms on his pizza, and decked Reggie.

bh3

The first bloody necksnap of a living person… zombies don't count).

bh4

The first drugs drought….

bh5

The first drug dealing protagonist…

bh6

The first heroin taking protagonist…

bh7

The first cold blooded killing protagonist…

bh8

 

And the first paraphrased quote from Douglas Adams.

I understand that orders on issue 2 was rather down on issue 1. But I get the feeling that anyone who picked up the first issue on salacious grounds, will find just as many with the second issue out today… and issue three FOC is on Monday!

Also, note that One Million Moms has no problem with this comic. No gay wedding, you see…
