It was enjoyable, and I'll read more volumes. I particularly love the plot. And the art is fantastic! It is great to be back at Riverdale and to share that with my 7year old with updated details she can relate to.

However, I had a really hard time with the reading of the dream scenes. Honestly, i got so bothered by them I started skipping panels.
Maybe it was because this was presented in a volume, it I felt annoyed at times of having to deal with another of Jughead's dreams rather than continuing with the story. They felt forced and like the reader was dropped into them.
I understand the point they are trying to maintain with Jughead's imagination, and laziness leading to a lot of eccentric dreaming. I think however, that a reoccurring slightly altered dream, or a dream that he only gets pieces of each time could have accomplished this idea and maintained more continuity in the story line.
