Archie’s Sabrina Returns For ‘Something Wicked’
Available today, Archie Comics’ offers Sabrina: Something Wicked #1 by the creative team of writer Kelly Thompson, artists Veronica and Andy Fish, and letterer Jack Morelli. Following the events of that team’s acclaimed Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the title character is trapped in a love triangle, she’s having trouble balancing the mortal and witch parts of herself, and—oh, yeah—she’s being blackmailed. As if all that wasn’t enough, while trying to help Radka and Ren with their…supernatural problem, her aunts suddenly starting to look like people she can’t trust. What’s a teen witch to do?!
“I think our version of Sabrina (and her world) is certainly more serious and grounded than some of the very early comics, but also much lighter tonally than something like Chilling Adventures,” Kelly Thompson told Book Riot. “But the core remains—her difficulties dealing with the duality of her life, her surprising power, and the themes that come from horror stories in high school settings.”
Thompson told Nerdist that she couldn’t wait to return to the hit series and her creative collaborators. “When Alex Segura told me that Veronica and Andy Fish were back on board for it, there was no question. I wanted in. They brought so much energy and passion to our first volume, and I found myself really wanting to write them something bigger and creepier for Volume Two.”
