* DenserAndWackier: The Jughead book full stop; the art style is more cartoony, the dialogue more witty and each issue features and extended fantasy sequence in with Jughead has an adventure in a different variation of the Archieverse. Notably, it actually has a stronger {{Story Arc}} than the Archie book has with its more {{Slice of Life}} style.

* {{Asexuality}}: Jughead finally confirms he identifies as such in Jughead #4, however the writer said in an interview he is allowing the other books to treat him in whatever way they choose. Its yet to be seen if this will be a {{Depending on the Writer}}.

* '''''Jughead''''' (by Creator/ChipZdarsky & Erica Henderson)

* '''''Life With Kevin''''' (by Dan Parent)

* TheVerse: According to {{Word of God}}, all the books take place in the same continuity, but so far it hasn't come up much.

In 2015, ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' ended their main comics after 666 issues. In its place they rebooted the franchise. The reboot is a more modern take on the series as a whole. Unlike other 'realistic' retools (for example the previous "New Look" revamp) this is a permanent choice, though Archie will still be releasing comics in their classic continuity.

* DemotedtoExtra: Veronica in the Jughead ongoing, justified since he despises her.

* FoodAsBribe: In issue 1 several characters try to bribe Jughead with sweets to tell them what the "lipstick incident" was. It fails.

* UnlimitedWardrobe: Set up be Fiona Staple in the very first issue and enthusiastically maintained by every other artist since.
* TheVerse: According to {{Word of God}} all the books take place in the same continuity, so far it hasn't come up much.

* WhattheHellHero: In Archie #5 he calls out Betty and Jughead for trying to sabotage Veronica, making it doubly sad this is the first real interaction between Betty and Archie since their break-up.

** [[spoiler:Basically, Archie and Betty had a perfect summer romance which culminated in Betty making Archie promise that things will always be like this. A few days later, Betty is convinced by her friends to dress up more when going on a date with Archie. Archie gets upset at seeing his childhood friend and noted tomboy changing into a more mature woman. He acts very stand-offish and angry during the date, which, combined with Betty's nervousness about her new look, led to a massive fight were he accused her of breaking their promise, and she accused him of having a double standard regarding girls who wear make-up, who he ogles all the time, but at the same time, never allowed himself to imagine Betty as one of them. The fight culminates in Betty slashing Archie's face with her new lipstick and leaving in tears.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: Jughead Jones' family is formerly of old money until they went bankrupt from a scam involving a water bottling plant.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** Jughead was never an ugly boy but now he's considered quite attractive by fans.
** Archie himself also counts for this trope --- one could more easily believe why multiple girls would be attracted to him at the same time.
* AppropriatedAppellation: In this continuity, Jughead's nickname was originally used to tease him after the Jones family lost their wealth investing in "Purejug." He has a speech in the first issue about taking control over what people say about you.

* TheArtifact: Jughead ''still'' wears his iconic hat; however, at least here it's explained. He wore a fedora until his family lost most of their money. He is shown cutting it up into his signature NiceHat.
* BigEater: While he's got better self-control in this continuity (such as being able to resist a FoodAsBribe), Jughead still likes to eat and is often snacking on something in the background. Before his family lost his money, he indulged much more frequently - a serving tray piled with hamburgers is seen in one flashback.
* TheChessmaster: Jughead. No, seriously. In the first issue alone, he makes sure to get in a position to handle the homecoming court votes ([[spoiler: To ''stop'' everyone's plan to make Archie and Betty the homecoming king and queen, to keep them from too much awkwardness via public scrutiny]]), even before anyone thought to rig the vote for Archie and Berry; Jughead also set it up so that Archie would get to show off the one thing he's actually good at (guitar) before the whole school.

* FormerlyFat: Jughead was quite the spoiled child and pudgy to boot (with his Butler serving him hamburgers by the ''tray''), but when his family lost all their money he slimmed down considerably.
* GreaserDelinquents: Reggie of all people. Traditionally he's a prep but now he is obviously into rockabilly.

** Archie and Betty are still childhood friends but now they use to date and issue 1 takes place soon after their break-up.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Betty is basically a younger version of her mother with a brighter shade of blonde hair.
* TheUnreveal: Jughead teases just what the "S" on his shirt stands for metaphorically, but he still won't reveal the secret.
* WrenchWench: As typical, Betty. Here it's emphasized quite a bit.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: Jughead Jones is formerly of old money family until they went bankrupt from a scam involving a water bottling plant.

* NoodleIncident: The 'lipstick incident' is this right now.

** Kevin already lives in Riverdale when in the original continuity he was a NewTransferStudent.

* WrenchWench: As typical, Betty. Here it's emphasized quite a bit.

* PuppyLove: Archie and Betty became a couple in kindergarten and were together well into high school.

* HotterAndSexier: Historically Archie has been hit-and-miss with sex and the characters. Several issues have addressed it, most infamously a comic from TheSeventies that had Betty having issues being celibate around Archie, but it gets glossed over. This comic acknowledges sex more, though the teen characters apparently still don't have it.

In 2015 ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' rebooted their main comics after issues.
