Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Vol. 1: The Crucible
by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
If you are expecting the same fun, bubbly teenage witch played by Melissa Joan Hart, this graphic novel will disappoint you. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Vol. 1 is very dark and gory. Of course I loved every second of it!
I really enjoyed the storyline. It was short but complex enough to be interesting throughout, complete with twists and turns that, even though they were a bit predictable, still kept me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the darker take on this character.
The artwork was my definitely favorite element. It has a lovely retro horror vibe that I'm a total sucker for! The color palette was also very lovely and I really love the pop of bright color here and there for dramatics.
As for the characters, I really enjoyed Ambros! I was also very excited to see Salem, but a bit let down that he didn't play a major role. I'd love to see more of him! I found both Sabrina and Harvey to be a bit lacking. I do hope to see Sabrina's character develop more in volume two.
I would definitely recommend checking this one out if you enjoy darker graphic novels!
