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!

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.

And the journal that Sabrina has just created might accidentally be much, much more powerful than she ever intended . . .

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!

This is exactly what happened to Syd. She was only trying to get over her toxic ex—whom she may still drunkenly text from time to time—not looking to have her life totally changed. She thought finding the right guy before was hard, but now she has an unquenchable thirst for blood. Her dating pool has suddenly become her food chain!
Meanwhile, Izzy has been trying to make her dreams a reality in the Big Apple, though right now she’s part of the gig economy working as a rideshare driver. When Syd ends up in the back of Izzy’s car, there is an instant connection. Is this love at first sight, or will it all end with one bite?
