Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 Review

 

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 Review

Writer: Corinna Bechko

Artists: Kano & Nick Cagnetti

Letterer: DC Hopkins

Cover Artists: Kano; Marguerite Sauvage; Naomi Franq; Caroline Cash, Dan Parent, Erica Henderson; Mahmud Asrar & Matt Wilson

Transitioning from childhood to the teenage years can be tough. High School forces you to level up in every area of your life. Every day brings unexpected discoveries, demands important decisions, and imposes new responsibilities. And a seemingly endless succession of authority figures who want to teach you how to think and behave.

 

Sabrina has just discovered that she is a witch. Even more shocking: her cat can talk. How will Sabrina take to her new responsibilities? And what dangers will threaten the novice? Let's leap into Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 and see!

 

Story

Before she discovered her powers, Sabrina bought her Halloween costume. Now, she's stuck with it. As she dresses up as a pretend witch, Sabrina also wonders what type of real-life witch she will become. Her aunt Zelda fears the dangers threatening such an inexperienced witch. Her aunt Hilda cherishes her niece's awakening. Yet, Sabrina’s lighthearted aunt also cautions her to take her new life seriously in Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1.

 

Still, this is Halloween. Even if life has saddled Sabrina with unwanted responsibilities, everyone deserves a fun evening with their friends. And she doesn't want to let down Libby, who is hosting such a grand party for them. So when her cat brings his recent kill to the doorstep, Sabrina refuses to take her new familiar’s assertion seriously.

 

While Salem’s concern for his inexperienced master opens the story, the rest of Corinna Bechko’s story follows the girl’s first night as a witch on Halloween. Unfortunately, Sabrina learns that witches don’t get to decide when they have time off. When a responsibility she tries to shirk festers, the young witch must protect her friends on her own. As she endangers her friends, her life in Greendale could become more dangerous in Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1.

 

Art

Sabrina’s feline partner often resembles a silhouette. After opening with his yellow eyes, panels focus on his bared teeth, extended claws, and the black cat attacking vermin before a full moon. When he appears with his catch outside Sabrina’s round window, the network of cames between the glass panes evokes a spiderweb. Sabrina is more concerned about how she looks in her black dress, striped stockings, and pointy hat. Still, Sabrina outshines Zelda with her short blonde hair, horn-rimmed glasses, and black T-shirt honoring a pop-culture villain.

 

Aunt Hilda seems more fun with her long orange hair, multicolored long-sleeve shirt, and the red hearts that fill the air when she smiles. Sabrina's white hair glows, thanks to Kano's yellow inking. Background characters occasionally fade into pale pink or lavender paper cutouts. Yet the page frames and scene backgrounds contrast Salem’s seriousness with Sabrina's irresponsibility. Blue dominates Salem's opening scenes, while yellow surrounds Sabrina. Purple frames her arrival at Libby’s party. Yet different shades of blue frame the panels as Sabrina confronts the problem threatening her friends in Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1.

 

While characters speak black uppercase letters into white balloons, Salem’s white dialogue and thoughts fill black balloons and boxes. A black-and-white Manga-style caricature of Sabrina’s face occasionally speaks white letters onto a colored background. DC Hopkins’ sound effects haunt Sabrina’s first Halloween as a witch with scratching nails, creaking wood, hissing, shrieking, clumsy conjuring, and the splat of something that turns Sabrina’s stomach. Nick Cagnetti’s introductory lessons for witches and familiars insist that, regardless of species, trust and respect are crucial to securing a magical partnership. Thanks to Oni Press and Superfan Promotions for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Sabrina Spellman wanted to be ordinary. Instead, she learned that she possesses extraordinary abilities. Some might greet such an unexpected boon with joy. But Sabrina only regards her gift as a burden. Sabrina may have made her early days as a witch more difficult. Still, if she treats Salem with more respect, perhaps her familiar can help her through them in Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1.

Hearts will pound in this ferocious, neo-noir nightmare where a fugitive and a cult hunter fight to survive one savage night of feral mythology and blood-soaked betrayal.

 

Tommy Blackfoot thought prison was the worst place he’d ever been – until the night he walked free. Reunited with June, the woman he’s been writing to for years, Tommy hopes for a fresh start. But the past has been waiting for him. The Children of Hati, a violent cult-like gang he once escaped, descend on the remote motel where the pair meet, determined to drag Tommy back into their brutal fold… or bury him for good.

 

As night falls, waves of berserk, wolf-obsessed zealots close in, and June reveals she’s far more than a romantic pen pal. What begins as a reunion becomes a relentless battle for survival – one filled with savage fights, occult conspiracies, and the consequences of a life lived on the run.

 

A blood-pounding crime-horror hybrid, Moon Eaters delivers pulp action at its most visceral.

DEO Agent Cameron Chase may not be able to make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. But when she digs into Jonny Double’s files, she swiftly enhances her understanding of the universe. From intergalactic events to a hidden dimension known as the Zero-Zone, M-Zone, or the Zone of Madness, Cameron can’t connect the dots fast enough.

 

Before Cameron killed him, Kari Limbo briefly breached the barrier of death to speak with their former boss. Now, Simon Baz has returned to existence. He helped Emily Hawke, codenamed Agent Zero, escape the Zone of Madness. Can an OSS Agent who disappeared in the 1940s and a teammate who cannot see his own reflection help Cameron repel Hector Hammond's next assault? And how were Emily's actions in the 1940s linked to Cameron's agency today? Let's leap into Absolute Green Lantern #19 and see!

 

Story

The world has always been in chaos, as forces vie to change the balance of power. While some people lead from the forefront, others prevent catastrophes from the shadows. Paul Kirk sought opportunities to safeguard society by preventing economic, cultural, and military conflicts from expanding. Then, a glimpse of yellow alerted him to a realm beyond most Humans' reach. And it imbues him with a sense of cosmic order Earth sorely needs.

 

While Absolute Green Lantern #19 begins in 1935, it doesn't stay there. As years pass, Paul struggles to understand what he glimpsed. Empires rise and gobble up countries in their desire to dominate the globe. Desperate to avert the unthinkable, Paul seeks to bring order to Earth's chaos. 

 

Al Ewing charts Humanity's attempt to contact extraterrestrial entities through time via a series of diary entries. While Paul Kirk may be the first seeker, others follow. As wars and conflicts come and go, people like Paul seek new ways of safeguarding society. Not everyone is as studious or selfless as Paul. Yet as decades pass, the knowledge Paul sought to learn helps shape contemporary society.

 

Knowledge always comes at a price. And as Paul's aliens insist, no man escapes paying it. So, as heroes like Jo Mullein and Jessica Cruz take the cosmic stage, women also steer Humanity's course in Absolute Green Lantern #19.

 

Art

After Paul abandons his bed clad solely in his underwear, he stumbles into the bathroom. Bald Humanoid aliens stare back at him through the mirror. Afterward, Paul shaves his head. Then Paul dresses for work, picks up his pipe, and reads a newspaper. At home, Paul sits on the floor, resting against the bed, when he risks a second encounter. But the third time, he sits in a carefully arranged room, his muscular body poised in reverence.

 

Jahnoy Lindsay arranges Paul’s second encounter with aliens across two pages in Absolute Green Lantern #19. Each panel shines with a different color. Yet when Paul turns green to match the aliens' clothes, he puts his hands upon his shaved head. He sought his second encounter wearing shorts. Yet Paul appears before the aliens in his underwear. When the convergence ends, his body glows gold like a message on the wall.

 

Lucas Gattoni shares conversations with uppercase black letters in white balloons. Letters and balloons change color. Paper scraps reveal each speaker's lowercase record of events. As changes reshape American leadership and the intelligence community, blue increasingly colors scenes. Yet blue and red letters in blue shapes and white boxes herald the rise of a leader who will strive to imprison aliens and anyone who befriends them.

Final Thoughts

They stood on the sidelines, watching as chaos rocked their world. A spaceship imprisoned a town beneath an energy shield. Citizens who never exemplified psi-talent suddenly wielded fantastic energy. Their boss betrayed them. Hector Hammond unleashed his private military on them. Now, as they get their feet back under them, DEO Agents Cameron Chase and Simon Baz discover how their world really works and their place on the cosmic stage in Absolute Green Lantern #19.
