You demanded it: Volume Two of the critically-acclaimed Sabrina the Teenage Witch series by Kelly Thompson and Veronica & Andy Fish!
Sabrina saved the day–saved her friends, her family–the whole town of Greendale really, and she should be riding high. But things are never quite that simple. She’s trapped in a love triangle, she’s having trouble balancing the mortal and witch parts of herself, oh yeah, and 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?!

This was my first graphic novel and I loved it! Love what they did in this version of Sabrina!
Once again Kelly Thompson and Veronica Fish weave their magic spell on Sabrina and Greendale. Art and writing in perfect harmony. I can’t imagine how they could’ve made this any better.Like volume one, it’s five issues telling one story. Beautifully paced and with a satisfying conclusion. The opening page suggested maybe things would take a more chilling turn, but they don’t. The central story does revolve around a serial killer stalking the streets of Greendale, but this is handled more as a mystery. If you want chilling the other Sabrina is available. This Sabrina is spooky witchy, not bloody horrory. She’s also lightly romantic, and this volume keeps those plates (Ren and Harvey) spinning deftly. It all works so well.The introduction of a classic character at the end, bringing with them a new place for the story to go next time, is good to see. And I really hope it is a teaser of a third story from these creators. It’s a confident move anyway, so fingers crossed.The bonuses are similar to volume 1. A pointless sample Riverdale comic, or a teaser part of one. The design sketches of the newly introduced classic character are nice. The alternative covers are a little better than last time, still none a patch on Fish’s. Sweeney Boo adapts her style to Sabrina and hers work really well. Special mention for Richard Ortiz’s cover though. This book should have no place for this sort of male gaze garbage. It’s fairly muted compared to the sort of sexed up male fantasy work he and artists like him churn out. But it’s still jarring and shows both a lack of respect for what the creators are doing and a thorough misunderstanding of the character. But one page is not going to spoil this terrific book.
(SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ!) The art and the print was great. So very quality stuff material wise. But I thought it had some subtext that I didnât approve of which seemed demonizing for marketing and rating purposes, such as the Della character and Sabrinaâs starry eyed obsession with her and the restaurant that seemed to resemble a moon after she met with the Della character. Seemed creepy to me and gave a bad influential subtext that I think is dangerous and irresponsible. The same fore mentioned character Della is also on the witchâs council who in the previous book in the series suggested that the witchâs council rejected the last villain of the series bc they were misusing science and magick but she wasnât too great either considering she was on the witchâs council and was a sort of hazel and gretel witch villain herself. So that doesnât make sense.
I had a lot of fun with the first volume of this series and this second one doesn’t disappoint either! Sabrina’s life is getting more and more complicated as she struggles to balance her life as a witch and as a normal teen. There’s relationship angst, questions over who Sabrina can trust as well as plenty of magical mayhem and monsters. I like all of the characters and I’m pretty much in love with the art, especially the colouring. This storyline does edge us into darker territory, without losing the fun and vibrancy that the first volume had, also, as a side note, can we please keep the magical card game duelling. Maybe it’s the Yu-Gi-Oh fan in me, but I really enjoyed that. Looking forward to further volumes!
