Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #5
Sabrina has to face the Witches Council for an accusation of conspiring with a mortal against the Church of Night. It will take a series of unnatural tests to prove her innocence, but none of it will bring her beloved Harvey back. She'll have to take matters into her own hands to find Harvey's missing soul. Recruiting two other young witches (from a neighboring coven), Sabrina holds a séance, but as ever, Madame Satan is pulling the strings behind the scenes, and what Sabrina taps into is much more dangerous -- and diabolical. And will send our beloved teen witch on an epic quest. For TEEN+ readers.

About the author
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
411 books476 followersRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa is an American playwright, screenwriter, and comic book writer best known for his work for Marvel Comics and for the television series Glee, Big Love, Riverdale, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He is Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics.
Aguirre-Sacasa grew up liking comic books, recalling in 2003, "My mom would take us out to the 7-Eleven on River Road during the summer, and we would get Slurpees and buy comics off the spinning rack. I would read them all over and over again, and draw my own pictures and stuff."
He began writing for Marvel Comics, he explained, when "Marvel hired an editor to find new writers, and they hired her from a theatrical agency. So she started calling theaters and asking if they knew any playwrights who might be good for comic books. A couple of different theaters said she should look at me. So she called me, I sent her a couple of my plays and she said 'Great, would you like to pitch on a couple of comic books in the works?'"
His first submissions were "not what [they were] interested in for the character[s]" but eventually he was assigned an 11-page Fantastic Four story, "The True Meaning of...," for the Marvel Holiday Special 2004. He went on to write Fantastic Four stories in Marvel Knights 4, a spinoff of that superhero team's long-running title; and stories for Nightcrawler vol. 3; The Sensational Spider-Man vol. 2; and Dead of Night featuring Man-Thing.
In May 2008 Aguirre-Sacasa returned to the Fantastic Four with a miniseries tie-in to the company-wide "Secret Invasion" storyline concerning a years-long infiltration of Earth by the shape-shifting alien race, the Skrulls,and an Angel Revelations miniseries with artists Barry Kitson and Adam Polina, respectively. He adapted for comics the Stephen King novel The Stand.
In 2013, he created Afterlife with Archie, depicting Archie Andrews in the midst of a zombie apocalypse; the book's success led to Aguirre-Sacasa being named Archie Comics' chief creative officer.

Sabrina finally faces the Council, and gets exonerated. Then, she makes a deal with the devil (how many must she make?!). A deal that really f*cks up everything. Things are really going to get weird from now on (not that they were normal before).
P.S. I really need to try some Archie comics, too.

Los pequeños guiños a la cultura ocultista me fascinan, y este es uno de mis títulos favoritos, no tengo duda.

It’s not just Greendale now, we are getting a glimpse of what’s happening at Riverdale. Were Veronica and Betty witches in the original Archie comics? Or this a new dimension introduced in the Riverdale universe? Boy, this is getting darker and I’m loving it!
Edward Spellman, Welcome back! 🤞🏽
3.5/5🌟(rounding up).

Sabrina's trial is happening and she receives help from an unlikely place.
I love that Betty and Veronica are witches now. I thought it was them in that very first scene a few issues ago, and then I was like "no it can't be them" but it was!
And a very special someone is back. Now that twist, I like.

I'm pretty relieved that the comics are so different from the netflix show, I love both but I'm just glad the show didn't ruin this for me.
These are both dark and fun!!!

I really enjoy reading the Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. The comic is way darker and suspenseful than the Netflix show.
In this issue Sabrina has to face the Council and go through the witch trails. Here she gets some secret help from Madam Satan and two Riverdale witches (like the crossover!!). We get a flashback to a council meeting of Edward Spellman, where he was wrongly accused of a crime.
The story ends with Sabrina taking part in a dark ritual, and a corpse being resurrected.
Again a fabulously gory story that ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.

Esta historia se va volviendo más sangrienta y oscura cada vez y Sabrina haciendo lo imposible por los que ama, Salem es el único que trata de entenderla y ayudarla de verdad.

I really enjoy reading Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. The comic is much darker and more tense than the Netflix series!
In this issue, Sabrina must face the Council and go through the witch's paths. Here she gets secret help from Madam Satan and two Riverdale witches. We are back at the council meeting of Edward Spellman, where he was falsely accused of a crime.
The story ends like a Netflix series. In this episode, Sabrina revives Harvey. Or let me say she thinks so.
Again, the story ends wonderfully and leaves you wondering like crazy!

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina'yı okumaktan gerçekten keyif alıyorum. Çizgi roman, Netflix serisinden çok daha karanlık ve gergin!
Bu sayıda Sabrina, Konsey ile yüzleşmeli ve cadılığın yollarından geçmelidir. Burada Madam Satan ve iki Riverdale cadısından gizli yardım alıyor. Edward Spellman'ın yanlışlıkla suçla itham edildiği konsey toplantısına geri dönüyoruz.
Hikaye bir Netflix dizisi gibi bitiyor. Bu bölümde Sabrina, Harvey'i canlandırır. Ya da öyle düşündüğünü söyleyeyim.
Yine hikaye harika bir şekilde bitiyor ve sizi deli gibi meraklandırıyor!

4.5/5🌟
I'm stupid because my kindle unlimited subscription has ended (which I don't want to renew at the moment) and I was in a super interesting part of the story...
I thought that I had an "extra" day to read with kindle unlimited, but nope... I have even considered paying for one more month to be able to read the volumes that I have left, but 1) I have no money, and 2) I know that in the end, I will regret it.
As for my opinion on this volume, I have already seen that it has little to do with Netflix's adaptation, and now I'm debating which of the 2 versions I like more because these graphic novels are not bad at all tbh (in fact, they are pretty cool!!!).
Anyway, there are certain plots and certain characters that I like much more how they have developed them in the series.

Trials and Magic
Sabrina facing the council is a level magic and intrigue that I didn't know I was looking for in these comics. Add in another glimpse of Riverdale and you have the ingredients for a hell raising time.

This is Issue #5.
I enjoyed this way more than the others. I liked seeing Betty and Veronica as witches, the very witches from the first issue.

darker retelling of Greendale and Riverdale
This is definitely a darker retelling of Greendale and Riverdale. I did not know that the Archie comics universe and the Sabrina the Teenage Witch universe overlapped. Definitely a lot of occult and satanic ritual stuff again, so warning to all the religious people out there that this may not be for them.

I'm not buying Betty and Veronica as witches, as much as I wished it worked, it doesn't.

The most horrifying issue so far.
The graphic novel format on the kindle app works really well. Coming to these after watching the Netflix series there are definite parallels but stark differences.
This issue has made me really want to see a Riverdale/Sabrina cross over. Even though I am too old to be the target audience.

Oooooooooh.
This issue was SO GOOD!
Sabrina has to face the Witches Council because of what happened to Harvey (cries) and while this is going on, the story flashes back to when her father faced the council for his own supposed crime. And while Sabrina answers questions, Madam Satan forces two young witches from Riverdale (awesome) to help with the case. Things get a lot worse when Sabrina takes part in a dark ritual that will change everything...
Well, I didn't expect THAT to happen! My gosh, this series crosses boundaries all the time, and I love that. I didn't expect that twisted ending and can't help but wonder what this will mean for Sabrina. 😳
I really like how Veronica & Betty keep popping into the story. And although I still want to hate Madam Satan because she's wicked and is making everything worse, I don't.
Oh, and I absolutely LOVE the artwork and covers. Everything is so colourful and pretty, yet gory.
Can't wait to see what happens next.

Getting better.
I'm glad I continued with this series, despite the lackluster first comic. The series gets more involved and gory as it goes, and I look forward to more.

Ok, this was a bit unexpected, but at the same time didn't get me as excited as the second book (but not as bad as third and fourth).
It was alright, I guess, but nothing special.
