A Cat and a Few Witches (mini comic reviews)


TITLE: Chilling Adventures of Sabring #6 - That Damned Cat
AUTHOR: Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa, Robert Hack & John Morelli
PUBLISHER: Archie Horror
PUBLISHING DATE: July 13, 2016

FROM GOODREADS: Every witch needs a familiar, and through the ages, Salem has faithfully fulfilled his duties to Sabrina. This chapter lifts back the cloak of time to reveal the dark history of how Salem came to be and serve his master.

MY THOUGHTS: I usually don't read single issues but since my local library jumped on the bandwagon with Hoopla, I've taken advantage of not having to wait until some of my favorite series publish volume collections. Issue #6, That Damned Cat, tells the story of how Salem became to be a familiar. In addition, we also get the side story of Sabrina's cousin's familiars, two King Cobras, which being afraid of snakes as I am, I was not a real fan of. However, even I have to admit it was an interesting tale. The artwork is consistently good and anyone who enjoyed Volume 1 really should continue on with the series.

RATING: 4 PAWS



TITLE: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7 - Witch Wars
AUTHOR:  Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa, Robert Hack & John Morelli
PUBLISHER: Archie Horror
PUBLISHING DATE: July 5, 2017

FROM GOODREADS: "WITCH-WAR" Part One (of Six): "The Revenants": Sabrina's father, Edward Spellman, is back from the dead, inhabiting the body of the newly resurrected Harvey Kinkle! Sabrina, believing the love of her high school life is back, arranges for a romantic rendezvous -- but neither Hilda nor Zelda want that reunion to take place and are willing to start a witch-war to keep them apart! Meanwhile, the diabolical Madam Satan reveals her true plans for the Spellman family... You dare not miss the last page of this.

MY THOUGHTS: Issue 7 starts a new story are for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.  "Witch Wars" is the first of 6 and show Sabrina's father, Edward Spellman, and his resurrection back into the body of Sabrina's beloved Harvey.  In this issue, the reader learns how Edward became such a powerful conjurer and why he may be a very dangerous presence in Sabrina's current world.

RATING: 4 PAWS
