Hack posted this on twitter, says it's the complete issue, so it is done at least.



Also, Scott, Jack Morelli worked on at least two issues prior with Hack, so I'm not sure if it'll really be much of a departure from the issues that Hack did solo.

I liked the show a lot more than I thought I would, until it turned into musical numbers all over the place. Then I liked it much less.

But Masturbatin' Sally was pretty great in the title role.

I'm a dink. He's the letterer on CHILLING ADVENTURES and created the logo and whatnot. I need to slow my ass down.

So I just scored a few issues of Afterlife With Archive cheap online. Texted my wife about it, because I was excited, then realized that I'd accidently texted my boss about it instead.

Oops.

Anyway, he was happy for me.

Press release!

Archie Comics will continue their chilling reign in horror stories under the leadership of Senior Director of Editorial, Jamie L. Rotante. As a highlight to her newly expanded role, Rotante will oversee the release of the all-new anthology CHILLING ADVENTURES IN SORCERY #1 on November 3.

Rotante has worked at Archie Comics for over a decade in both editorial and creator positions. Author of BETTY & VERONICA: VIXENS and SENIOR YEAR storylines, Rotante helped provide a unique take on the legendary characters, in addition to penning Archie's first original graphic novel, THE BOND OF FRIENDSHIP with artist Brittney Williams. Her new role places her in charge of the editorial direction for new comics and graphic novel content, working with licensors, and more.

In one of the first releases under Rotante's leadership, CHILLING ADVENTURES IN SORCERY #1 is an expansion of last year's thrilling MADAM SATAN one-shot by Eliot Rahal. It features Madam Satan not only trying to escape Hell, but also stepping into the role as host for a series of scary stories, paying homage to legendary television anthologies and iconic horror hosts like Rod Serling, Elvira, and Vincent Price. Madam Satan will play tour guide as readers explore the horrifying underbelly of Riverdale while the classic Archie Comics characters face their deepest fears, along with some frightful bonus content Archie horror fans will absolutely die for.

“This horror anthology is the perfect love letter to both classic Archie tales and the more modern stories,” explained Rotante. “The genre lends itself to have a timeless appeal to audiences and I believe that plays a factor into the excitement for Archie horror comics.” Additionally, the project will bring together a multitude of writers and artists. “One of my goals in editorial is to create more opportunities to bring a wide range of talent into the Archie Comics fold and champion underseen writers and artists,” she goes on to note. “This is just the first in a variety of anthology-style one-shots that we'll be releasing as we close out 2021 and enter the new year. Working in this format gives us the chance to tackle a variety of genres and collaborate with exciting new talent and long-time favorites simultaneously. We can't wait to share more news soon!"

“It's been an honor to have Jamie's work and vision in the Archie Comics universe over the last decade,” said Archie Comics CEO/Publisher Jon Goldwater. “Jamie has a clear vision for not only storytelling, but for nurturing the best talent to craft amazing stories. We can't wait for fans to see this new book and future projects under Jamie's leadership.”

Each new circle of Hell Madam Satan enters during her escape features another horror-fueled tale starring beloved Riverdale characters and filled with fun nods to fan-favorite horror titles including The Twilight Zone, Evil Dead 2, and Five Nights at Freddy's. In addition to Rahal returning to continue Madam Satan's adventure, the anthology features talented work by Vincenzo Federici, Evan Stanley, Amy Chu, Derek Charm, and Pat and Tim Kennedy spearheaded by Rotante.

So the newest issue of Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is pretty great. Very dark and twisted, takes things in a much different direction than the show did. It's a shame that the wait between issues is as long as it is but it's a good read and it is 'to be continued' so I'd imagine that there's more to come at some point.

Hopefully there is more to come. Now if they can get Afterlife back on track.

That would be ideal. I do have to wonder, since Sabrina had the successful Netflix show and all, if it's more likely to get finished than Afterlife. I'd like to see both properly completed as I really enjoy them, but the wait times are borderline Faust-level these days.

I expect Big Numbers to be finished before we get 3 more issues of Afterlife.

I'm tasting notes of The Rock-A-Billy Kid from Twilight Zone. I honestly have never really cared about that Wilkin Boy, but these comics have been fun so far.
