Posted on by Leave a comment

Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications, Inc. have revealed the first look inside Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2, the next dazzling chapter of a brand-new ongoing series launching comics’ most iconic sorceress-in-training into a spectacular new era for Archie Comics! From Hugo Award–nominated writer Corinna Bechko and Eisner Award–nominated artist Kano, the stunning return of everyone’s favorite mischievous teenage witch is about to turn Greendale upside down this November!

Between staying on top of schoolwork during the day and figuring out this whole magic thing by night, Sabrina’s having a hard time keeping her head above water. When her aunts suggest a journal might help make her magic a little more comprehensible, she jumps at the opportunity to master at least one aspect of the dark arts. But it turns out just because you’re a witch doesn’t mean you have spell-check . . . And the journal that Sabrina has just created might accidentally be much, much more powerful than she ever intended . . . Plus: Your next bewitching bonus story of magical malpractice—featuring artwork by rising star Nick Cagnetti!

Expect mischief and magic to continue in force when Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 flies onto shelves this November—featuring covers from by Eisner Award-nominated cover artist Marguerite Sauvage, Paulina Ganucheau, Khary Randolph, Eleonora Carlini, Dan Parent, and Dani!

Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications, Inc.have revealed a first look inside Archie in Hell #2, the next shocking chapter of Oni Press’ monumental new line of star-studded Archie Comics series. The year’s red-hot horror hit from superstar creators Patrick Horvath and Tyler Crook lands this December, just in time for the 85th anniversary of America’s favorite teen icon!

Torn from the world he once knew and thrown back to a dark reflection of the year 1690, Archie Andrews has taken cover as “Archibald” Andrews—a humble inhabitant of the bleak and zealous Puritan community called Riverdale. And he’s not the only one on edge . . . Strange and unearthly occurrences plague this small countryside hovel, and, as the search for the collaborators of the devil’s business begins, Archie won’t be able to hide for long— especially not with that flaming red hair! But when strange echoes of his best friends from the modern day—Elizabeth “Betty” Cooper, Berenice “Veronica” Lodge, and Forsythe “Jughead” Jones—begin to emerge, Archie will quickly come to fear that while he may have been the demon A’ldarax’s first sacrifice, he may not be its last . . .

No one is safe . . . and the flames only rise higher . . . as America’s most iconic teenager locks horns with evil incarnate in Archie in Hell #2 featuring covers by series artist Tyler Crook as well as Dustin Weaver, Jonathan Case, Abigail Harding,​ Dan Parent, and Patricia Martín!

Archie in Hell #1 Enters The Demonic Circle with New “Pyre Satanic” Variant – Coming November 4th!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Oni Press has revealed the “Pyre Satanic” variant cover for Archie in Hell #1 beautifully illustrated by Chloe Brailsford – a startling new addition to the launch of the infernal new ongoing series from multiple Eisner Award nominee Patrick Horvath and Russ Manning Award winner Tyler Crook debuting in stores on November 4th! 

The special, open-order variant cover matches the two other recently revealed “Pyre Satanic” covers by Brailsford, forming an unholy trinity with Archie #1 and Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1. FOC for the “Pyre Satanic” variant cover is on Final Order Cut-Off (FOC) on September 28th with an on-sale date of November 4th, alongside with all other previously announced covers for Archie in Hell #1.

They say that every small town has a secret. Well, in the case of Riverdale, it’s one heck of a humdinger: An ancient order of cultists has infiltrated its townspeople, bent on using human sacrifice to usher a demon lord into our mortal plane. And they’ve finally identified the final target they need to bring a century’s worth of planning to fruition: hometown football champion and all-around good guy Archie Andrews. But this secret cabal never dreamed that actual witches walk Riverdale’s streets . . . and when cult and coven clash in the final stages of Archie’s secret-ritual sacrifice, the consequences will be cosmic . . . and young Archie Andrews will find himself damned to something far worse than Hell’s inner circle. 

Unstuck from time and space. Bound to a terrible curse. Late for school. Things are about to go from bad to downright diabolical as Horvath and Crook unleash the most malevolently merciless Archie Comics tale ever told . . . and, truly, you’ll never, ever expect what happens next.

Vampirella and Sabrina the Teenage Witch Cross Paths This Winter!

Posted on by Leave a comment

It’s a vampire weekend! Two spooky icons cross paths in a historic crossover this December to heat up fans’ pull lists. Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics are proud to announce Sabrina the Teenage Witch X Vampirella, with critically acclaimed author Tini Howard at the helm in her Dynamite debut!

Sabrina Spellman is only half witch. Unlike the others in her coven, she still craves a mortal summer vacation with all its comfy accoutrements. When her aunts make her dream come true, with the stipulation that she has to do some house-sitting, everyone’s favorite teenage sorceress (and her adorable cat Salem!) finds herself kicking back in an idyllic beachside town. First and foremost on her mind is hiding her magic from a gaggle of nosy neighbors. But one such neighbor is not quite like the others…

Vampirella is only half vampire. The descendant of Drakulon finds herself torn between two worlds, human expectations of her vampire visage, and her at times competing impulses of heroism and survival. When a new challenge rises on her radar, she can sense the perfect ally. This young witch’s magic could come in handy, and the two will set off on a thrilling and historic fable!

Celebrated scribe Tini Howard is no stranger to some of the most iconic women in comics, with fan-favorite runs on Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Excalibur, and the recently concluded Sirens: Love Hurts. This isn’t her first rodeo with the Daughter of Drakulon either. The preeminent, beloved bloodsucking queen of comics appeared as a crossover guest in Hack/Slash: Resurrection, an early breakout hit for Howard.

A veritable magician’s assistant in the creative team, artist duo Bill Galvan and Ben Galvan illustrate this tale. With decades of experience drawing the generationally cherished cast of Archie Comics, they’re the perfect fit to bring Vampirella into this world and matching Howard’s fun approach.

In celebrating both these icons of the 1960s and beyond, the perfectly paired creative team is joined by a legion of spellbinding covers by creators associated with both sides of the team-up as well as evoking their classic imagery. Eric Powell, Francesco Francavilla, Sebastián Píriz, and Mike Rooth all contribute classics. Interior artists Bill and Ben Galvan cooks up a stunning homage to a classic with his cover. Collectors can also opt for an exciting mystery blind bag, packed with rare variants on these and other surprises.

Don’t miss out on any of the magic mayhem from this pair of comics powerhouses crafted by a stellar creative team!
