    If you haven't read the previous issues it's not hard to begin with #8 though I highly recommend picking up the others. It's more than worth it for the fabulous writing, stunning art, and the fun little cameos by characters like Betty and Veronica. Read Full Review

    Honestly, it is so hard to find truly beautiful and dark comics, this is a rare treat. Who knew it'd be coming from the same line that publishes Reggie & Me? Read Full Review

    Critical Blast - RJ Carter Aug 25, 2017

    Robert Hack's artwork is appropriately creepy for this horror title, delivering characters with expressiveness as well as settings that are familiar yet presented in a more (appropriately) haunting way. It's been worth the wait to get this far. Let's hope we can go even farther. Read Full Review

    Doom Rocket - Arpad Okay Aug 24, 2017

    This setup for tragedy has huge potential. Father Spellman's return is catastrophic for the residents of Greendale, but the ante compared to even an issue ago has been raised immeasurably. Spellman stands back and lets his family tear themselves apart over politics, unaware of the war to come. He is a crafty foe, for sure, but has he got anything on Madam Satan? Everyone thinks that they're the ones calling the shots, but this entire conundrum has been the result of her secret machinations. It's impossible to say what happens in the next issue, and equally impossible to resist reading it. Read Full Review

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #8 gets the heart racing when Sabrina makes one bold move after the other. This is a girl who has truly reached a place where her happiness trumps the rules. And we all know that is a no-no when you are dealing with witches. The creative team for this book continue to capture this dark world where you either live by the rules or must be one hell of a witch to take what happens when you don't. Read Full Review

    Although the story doesn't quite feel as in-depth and immersive as the previous issues, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 8 is another solid issue in one of the most enjoyable horror series on the shelf right now. It comes hot on the heels of the previous issue, so hopefully this means that the timeframe between books will be quicker and a little more consistent. Even if it's not, I'll be here to see what happens next. Dr. J gives this a" Read Full Review

    This is where Sabrina stands up for herself, taking control of her life. She's been told what to do by everyone around her forever. Now she's in the driver's seat. Unfortunately, she's driving right off a cliff as a number of dark forces swirl around her. The stakes are raised considerably and this poor girl is stuck in the middle. I just hope she doesn't make out with her dad. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Olivier Roth Aug 16, 2017

    In all, Aguirre-Sacasa’s writing of a classic Archie character like Sabrina is a lot of fun. She’s strong-willed, rebellious and will do what she feels is necessary, damn the consequences. After reading this issue, I want to learn more about this new world he is creating for Sabrina and that is never a bad thing. Read Full Review
