Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 — Kelly Thompson, Writer; Veronica Fish, Andy Fish, Artists; Jack Morelli, Letterer
Ratings: Ray — 8.5/10
Sabrina the Teenage Witch has always been one of the most iconic Archie properties, maybe second only to the core Riverdale quartet in fame and probably the most successful in terms of television adaptations. But while the young sorceress has had two wildly successful TV adaptations, she’s had far less success in the comic book world in recent years. Her all-ages comics (based on the original TV series and the animated spin-off) are long gone and the horror-themed Chilling Adventures of Sabrina went on hiatus and never came back. It’s essentially a dead series now, only existing as fodder for the Netflix adaptation.
Now, into the breach comes one of comics’ fastest rising stars. Kelly Thompson, the Marvel Exclusive talent who seems to be everywhere these days, is bringing her trademark wit and mystery that made Hawkeye, West Coast Avengers, Jessica Jones, and Nancy Drew hits to our favorite teenage witch and promising a lighter, more all-ages take.
