Description: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Features: Archie Comic Publications Description: Product Description Now a hit Netflix series! On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, the young sorceress Sabrina Spellman finds herself at a crossroads, having to choose between an unearthly destiny and her mortal boyfriend, Harvey. But a foe from her family's past has arrived in Greendale, Madame Satan, and she has her own deadly agenda. Archie Comics' latest horror sensation starts here! For TEEN+ readers. Compiles the first six issues of the ongoing comic book series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Read the basis for Netflix's horrifying new series! From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—This horror flick reimagining of Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a lushly cinematic and refreshingly grim departure from the charmingly sweet heroine of yesteryear. This isn't your mother's teenage witch: although Sabrina is dealing with common adolescent woes, she's also consorting with the devil and feasting on a sacrificial goat. The story takes place in the days before Sabrina's confirmation into the coven, coinciding with her 16th birthday. In the upcoming ceremony, she must choose to either live as an immortal witch, infinitely powerful but incapable of romantic love, or as a mortal, destined to die but also able to spend her life with her dreamboat boyfriend, Harvey. Meanwhile, Madam Satan, a powerful witch with a vendetta against Sabrina's father, is accidentally raised from hell by two familiar Archie-universe figures; Betty and Veronica are wryly reinvented here as ditzy but powerful witches. The five-issue collection ends in a diabolically creepy cliff-hanger. This iteration is set in the 1960s, incorporating the social upheavals of the time while visually alluding to Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, and other paranormal horror films. Hack's scratched filmstrip style, set in sepia tones, makes the inevitable violent splashes of red provocatively grotesque. Some nudity and violence make this more appropriate for older teens. VERDICT Deftly balancing suspense, violence, and wit, this is a welcome and frightening addition for lovers of horror, suspense, and graphic novels; hand to fans of Emily Carroll's Through the Woods and followers of The Walking Dead.—Anna Murphy, Berkeley Carroll School, Brooklyn Review "It's supernatural suspense at its best, and of course Robert Hack's wonderfully creepy art is a perfect match." -- io9 “Another brilliant addition to the Archie Horror label.” -- SCREAM MAGAZINE “Bloody, atmospheric, and unnerving, Sabrina has it all for horror fans.” -- UPROXX "Blends bobbysocks and sacrifices, school plays and immortal witchcraft, in ways that are both chilling and relatable." -- TEEN VOGUE "Aguirre-Sacasa and Hack's reimagination of Sabrina as a mix of Lovecraftian horror and '50s teen drama fits the bill." — COMICS ALLIANCE "A must-read for horror fans and old-time fans of the character." — BLASTR "A welcome return for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and one that packs a serious punch." — HORROR TALK "A masterful understanding of both character and atmosphere." — PANELS About the Author ROBERTO AGUIRRE-SACASA is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and comic book writer.
