About the author
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
460 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.

Edward Spellman's origin story. <--worth a read!
Yeah, so Prime Reading (for those of us who have an Amazon Prime account, and not to be mistaken for Kindle Unlimited) usually has shit for all when it comes to free books.
And rightly so! It's just a little perk thrown in by Amazon and not the reason you sign up.
Anyway, Sabrina and Afterlife With Archie are both somehow miraculously listed as freebies, so I'm taking advantage of that and doing something that I normally never do - read the issues as singles before the collected volume comes out.
But let's face it, it may be another 10 years before voume 2 of Sabrina finally gets here.
Alright.
Spellman is basically a little evil Eddie Munster-looking mother fucker, with some powerful magic and some even more powerful ambitions. Please remember that this is not the cleaned-up version from the new Netflix show.
These witches are bad.
As in, they eat people and whatnot.
I'm really enjoying this for what it is, but this comic isn't going to appeal to everyone.
You really need to know going into this one that they're going to take a huge shit on your childhood memories of these characters. <--you've been warned.

With the seventh issue, we get the backstory of Sabrina's father, Edward Spellman, and, as expected he is child prodigy, . What can I say? I don't like him.
Let's see what happens next.

Normalmente me embola un poco la idea de conocer demasiado sobre la vida de algunos personajes en concreto, pero fue genial saber cómo sucedió todo el gran ascenso de Edward, sus intentos por recibir prestigio del mundo oscuro.

The Chilling Adventures of Eddie, the bad boy!
I LOVEEE IT!! This was by far the best in the whole series. We get to see Edward Spellman up close and must I say, he is a bad bad warlock! Read this only if you can handle gory details.
4.5/5🌟(rounding up).
TW: Cannibalism.

Darker version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch
This is 7th comic in the series of a much darker version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. This comic goes into the backstory of Sabrina’s father. Edward Spellman was a very talented witch from a very young age but was used by his mentor and the Dark Church. It also went into the story of how he got trapped in the tree. Like I have said about the previous comics in this series, this has a lot of occult and dark witchcraft that may be offensive to deeply religious people as too gory for others. There is also the older version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch at the very end that is the humorous, lighthearted version I used to. I overall like the series and how in depth it goes into the individual characters stories.

Ok it's getting better, but still not so good.

I'm starting to believe that with every issue of this comic, the creators asked themselves "how can we make this darker?" and then they do. I'm here for it though.
This issue is Edward's origin story. Yet again, I'm glad they tackled this because the show didn't. Edward wasn't a saint there either, but here we see just how bad a boy he really was.

Ok. So the artwork is growing on me.
In thisepisode installment we get Edward's back story. I thought the TV series was dark. Talk about sibling rivalry.
I am not always a fan of the filler 'back stories' this one is certainly not just filler.
We get to know Edward intimately, how he works and what motivates him.
I am ready to get on with the story though.
A continuation of The Great Spellman Buddy Read (2of3) with The 2.0 (note to self: link his review here....if he ever writes it *HA!*)

The coming of age of Edward
I always enjoy character backstories, and this was definitely impressed.
In this installment of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, we learn a little bit more about Edward’s motives, and boy is he not about to win the Father of the Year award!

Wow, Edward Spellman is gross. I enjoyed reading about his backstory. This comic is so dark I think I’m into it ??????
I cannot wait to read more about it.

Issue #7 starts a new story arc for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. "Witch Wars" is the first of 6 and shows 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.

This volume was really weird. I found it to be okay. I can’t wait to finish up this series.

Este volumen está lleno de ritos, ocultismo y cosas escalofriantes, la familia Spellman es de cuidado. 🙈

This book was Edward Spellman's origin story. I am a bit confused and unsure about my feelings regarding this book. You see, all the time I was sure that Spellmans are the good guys, the ones you should be rooting for, but to be honest, I'm not so sure anymore. And if there's no character left to like in these series, why would I be reading them then?
October 16, 2020
In issue 7 of the series, we see the story of Edward Spellman. The story begins in Edward's childhood and continues, including how and why he was imprisoned in the tree today.
I am aware that I have been saying the subject over and over again, but it is really extremely different from the Netflix series.
I love Dark Sabrina, but I can't say I love these comics. It is pleasant to read but really extremely dark. Witches began to seem very shallow to me. If Sabrina is a series you love, you should definitely read these dark versions!

Serinin 7.sayısında, Edward Spellman'ın hikayesini görüyoruz. Hikayesi Edward'ın çocukluğundan başlıyor ve günümüzde ağaca nasıl ve neden hapsolduğu da dahil devam ediyor.
Konu tekrar tekrar söylediğimin farkındayım ama gerçekten aşırı farklı, Netflix dizisinden.
Karanlık Sabrina'yı seviyorum ama bu çizgiromanlara bayıldığımı söyleyemeyeceğim. Okuması keyifli fakat gerçekten aşırı karanlık. Bana cadılar iyice sığ gelmeye başladı. Sabrina sevdiğiniz bir seriyse, mutlaka bu karanlık versiyonlarını da okumalısınız!

Best issue by far! A wonderful deep dive into Edward (Eddie Munster) Spellman. And yes we learn how he ended up in that tree!
March 8, 2019
So we get a lot on Sabrina's Father's back story, kinda how he became to be the person he was today and what motivated him. What still motivates him. I think he is a little demented.... okay a lot. I am still not sure if he wants Sabrina to succeed or fail same with her aunts I am not sure I like where the character progression is going since I am used to the Original Sabrina, the original Sabrina tv series and now the Netflix ones. In these comics it is just evil on top of evil and sometimes they were a pleasant face but no not really.

Meh. More Salem, less this douche-bag. I do not care that his sociopathic ass was exploited in childhood by a priest whose greed/reluctance to meet the terms of his agreement with young Edward are completely inexplicable. This retreads territory covered in Issue #1 without providing any more enlightenment about Edward's motivations. Perhaps this issue is an elaborate excuse to have a panel with Edward fucking Madam Satan (in her human incarnation) doggy style? Soooo edgy.

I didn’t love this issue, mainly because I don’t care for Edward Spellman. This just cements my dislike of the man. I look forward to more brutal take downs of Edward in the future. This issue covers his entire backstory from a child, to high-priest, to his banishment in witch limbo. The man is an amazing liar though, really excels at deception.
Lucifer was so dapper!

This issue is all about Edward Spellman who I find distinctly icky. I did like the first part in which a young Edward outwits the (also icky) high priest. Edward in Harvey's body has the potential to be rather traumatizing (and again, icky.) This is not a comic that leaves me feeling anything but grossed out. Why am I still reading this series?

Me encanta que cuenten las historias de los personajes ♥
Amé la historia de los familiares en el anterior volumen. Y en éste nos cuentan la historia de Edward Spellman :O muuuuuuuuy buena! Esta nueva versión super creepy y oscura de Sabrina me encanta y me sorprende con cada nueva entrega.
