Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

The source is definitely better
After binge watching Sabrina on Netflix I had to see how the reboot came to be, and I was surprised to see that Archie was behind it. I was even more surprised to see that the comic is actually better than the show. It is darker and more morbid than the show, which seemed appropriate considering the subject matter. It is also paced quicker and is easy to flip through too fast. The art style is great and wonderfully colored, the artists really outdid themselves. This was a labor of love.If you want to see where Netflix got their inspiration, pick this up. If you loved the creepiness of the show but could live without the feminist overtones, pick this up. The source material really is better in every way.

book review
{My thoughts} – {date entire series completed} – {01.22.2019}I have a confession. I have already watched the Netflix Original Series that is based of of these graphic Novels. When I’d started to watch it, I’d realized just how morbid this series was. I didn’t however, know the horror that would waiting to bed read within the pages of this book.Chilling Adventures of Sabrina:– {Book 1: Something Wicked} – {01.22.2019} – Sabrina’s parents are meant to give her to her fathers sisters to raise. Her mother tries to run off with her which doesn’t work out in her favor and Sabrina’s aunts are left with raising her without the help and input of either parent. Sabrina has periods in which she doesn’t want to follow the rules and where the past things her parents had done are thrown into her face by her peers. Her aunts then decide that they are going to move to another town to get away from everything and attempt to give Sabrina a fresh start.– {Book 2: The Secret History of Madam Satan} – {01.22.2019} – This book had so much blood shed. It was hard not to double, triple take many of the images. There is a lot to be learned within the pages of this book, particularly what happened to Sabrina’s dad and why he never returned back to her.– {Book 3: Unholy Baptism} – {01.22.2019} – Sabrina is suppose to be getting ready to be baptized into satan’s army and she has some questions about it. She mostly gets the answers she was looking for, but she still isn’t okay with the outcome of everything. Her aunts push her to make the commitment to the dark and no longer follow the light. However, since Sabrina is a half-breed she has a choice and she isn’t sure she is making the right choice with it comes down to everything that is taking place.– {Book 4: Harvey Horrors} – {01.22.2019} – This book was difficult for me. I’d watch the Sabrina comedy growing up and I’d watched the Netflix series. In both things aren’t nearly is sad and morbid as they are within the pages of this book.– {Book 5: The Trial} – {01.22.2019} – Sabrina has to face a trial do to breaking witch law. However, she didn’t break it and is still being accused. This trial could result in her death if she is proven to be found guilty. If you’d like to know the outcome you’ll have to read the book. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Spooky fun!
I decided to read this after hearing it was going to be made into a TV show on the CW.I loved the whole vibe of this. I liked that it was set in the 1960’s and the artwork matched perfectly. It had the right blend of vintage throwback and horror.As for the story, I liked the darker take on Sabrina. The first couple of issues had a lot of backstory, but once it got to main plot I was hooked.Overall, this was a fantastic spooky read. I cannot wait for the show.

Interesting Sabrina story which takes place in the wonderful Archie Horror Universe
This comic was excellent and a great follow up read after reading Vol 1. of Afterlife with Archie. If you are a fan of the Netflix series there are some differences but both stories are worth checking out. I will say that the Sabrina comics first vol ends on a strange note that the TV series season 1 avoids, characters and their arcs are somewhat different as well. If you enjoyed this comic you should definitely check out Afterlife with Archie and Vampronica. Jughead The Hunger vol 1 was enjoyable but by the middle of Vol 2 I wasn't really enjoying it on the same level.

Which Version Of This Witch Is Which.
Edgier version of the character and a more modern context for her too- fascinating for new readers and old fans alike. Compliments the Afterlife With Archie line of books. Well worth a look. You can recognize Sabrina here but this version takes all the silliness and syrup out of things that really makes it work for a modern day and age.

One of my all-time favorite comic books
I love the Netflix show and therefore decided to try the comics. They are quite different from the show, which I think is perhaps less dark than the comics. I LOVE these comic books!! The illustrations are amazing, so much so that I re-read each comic in part just to see if I had missed a small illustrated detail. I personally like the darker storylines, and I'm dying for the next issue.

Not the Archie Comics you remember
Who would have guessed that some of the best horror comics out today would come from Archie Comics? Not me, that's for sure.I loved loved Afterlife With Archie and was looking forward to getting this graphic novel for a while. It did not disappoint. It takes a different tone than AWA and reminds the reader from page one that the Spellmans are literal witches -- that is, the "brides of Satan" kind, not the "black pointy hat,sexily riding a broom" kind. If you like stuff like Sandman or other Vertigo titles this will be your thing.

Problema resuelto!
El libro está increíble, la animación e historia es brillante. Todo está perfecto. LA ÚNICA RAZÓN POR LA QUE LE PONGO 3 ESTRELLAS Y NO 5, es porque la descripción dice que incluye LOS PRIMEROS 6 argumentos, y sólo vienen del 1-5. Corrijan la descripción por favor, es decepcionante.Afortunadamente me resolvieron el problema anteriormente descrito con un pequeño reembolso para adquirir el argumento #6 faltante. Ahí les van sus 5 estrellas. Excelente producto y atención.

Please let people know what addition they are getting...
I love this book. I loved the old Sabrina but I also love this take on the character. My only complaint is I was hoping for the original addition (as shown in the Amazon picture), however I got the TV show addition ☹👎🏻
