{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.

I'm not really sure why I read this. I mean the show already makes me kind of uncomfortable so I don't know why I thought the comic would be better. It wasn't a bad comic. It was interesting but also terrible at the same time because it's all about witches and satanism. Probably wouldn't recommend this to a friend.

I did not like Riverdale and I never watched the Sabrina series so I can't compare the vibes of the shows to this comic, but sharing my thoughts as an Archie Comics and comic fan.
I didn't like this 🤷🏻♀️ I knew it was a darker take on Sabrina the Witch, and I'm all for interesting adaptations of the Archie world. I struggled to get invested in this. Absolutely no one was likeable.
Maybe Salem. Salem was likeable enough, but I mean Salem is the cat. He just chills around and supports Sabrina like a good kitty.
I didn't care about the story. Everything just felt depressing. I didn't love the art. I liked it at first but the bland orange washes made it all feel even more depressing IMO. I don't think I'll continue this series.
I mean, other Archie characters make guest appearances too. So yay, I guess.

I wasn't too sure what to think of this when I first started, but once it picked up a bit towards the end of chapter one I was hooked. I really love how dark and creepy this series is, and I think it's really interesting to see how different this Sabrina's world is compared to the classic Sabrina. I'm really excited to see where this story will go.

I picked this up after binge watching the first two seasons on Netflix since I also love comics and graphic novels and man was I in for a surprise! This is NOTHING like the Netflix adaptation and is actually WAY darker and a completely different storyline. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it but I will say I will buy the next one and keep reading. Hence the 4 stars.

Pretty decent start. Vastly different with its television counterparts. Not certain which I would prefer. Will read other volumes to see how Sabrina's journey.
