The world of Archie Comics has always been a magical place - it is, after all, the home of Sabrina the Teenage Witch - but a new one-shot from the publisher is set to put a darker spin on things. The Wicked Trinity by writer Sam Maggs, artist Lisa Sterle (who we recently interviewed about the brilliant graphic novel Dying Inside), colorist Ellie Wright, and letterer Jack Morelli focuses on Sabrina's nemesis Amber Nightstone and her companions in the titular trinity, Jade Kazane, and Sapphire Gill as they strive to become the most powerful witches in the world.
"I've enjoyed Sam's writing for quite some time, and especially loved the work she did on her short story in last year's Betty: the Final Girl," said Archie's senior director of editorial, Jamie L. Rotante. "She's got a great knack for blending brutality with smart dialogue and fantastical story elements. And I'm always in awe of Lisa Sterle's art, whether it's the gorgeous work she did on a short in 2022's Archie: Love and Heartbreak, or her Modern Witch Tarot, I find myself consistently gobsmacked by her beautiful character designs. This one-shot is the start of a new era of magical storytelling at Archie, and we're excited for even more to come in the future!"
