About the author

Roberto 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.

Well, well... the second issue focuses on Madam Satan/Iola.



And I must say, she goes into my kick-ass ladies category. We get to know Iola's story, how she became Madam Satan. I kind of like her.


Also, is Edward Spellman a bad person, or is it just me?

I enjoyed this one more than the first. I liked the way we learn a lot more about the villain in this, and I could really sense the plot deepening, and becoming more interesting. I love the dark atmosphere within these stories, and the way the chatacters are portrayed. I've never seen the recent Netflix show of Sabrina, but I do appreciate the dark side of her character. The artwork is pretty average, but the story makes it readable. These reads are fun and sexy! I'm looking forward to the next installment!

Este tomo me resultó mucho mejor que el anterior. La aparición de Madam Satan le dio otro color a la historia, sé que la va a romper en los próximos comics.

[Jillian Reynolds (Jillian Loves Books) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've certainly waited long enough to continue with this series. It's honestly a shame. But I keep getting the Netflix show on my recommended list, and there's NO WAY I'm watching without reading these graphic novels first.

And in case you're on the fence about reading this rendition of Sabrina--DO IT. It's fun, comedic, very dark, and the art style is interesting. I'm planning on (finally) finishing this series in February.

This wasn't as good as the first although I like that Fahrenheit 451 reference!

4 Madam Satan STARS



Me encanta la portada de este Issue, con razón la usaron para el volumen1.

La historia en este Issue sigue a Madam Satán, el demonio que Betty y Verónica trajeron con su conjuro erróneo.

SPOILER ALERT
Vemos su historia cuando estaba viva, como murió y su tiempo en el infierno. Ella estaba enamorada del padre de Sabrina, y cuando la dejo por Diana, se suicidó de la manera más extra que he visto.



Pero bueno, ella solo quiere venganza contra todos los que la hicieron sufrir o mejor dicho ella solo quiere vengarse, y para eso la vemos llegar a Greendale y volverse maestra en la escuela de Sabrina, no sabemos cuál es su plan contra las Spellman’s pero me deja intrigada.

El arte no termina de convencerme, pero sin duda funciona muy bien para esta historia, le da una esencia vintage y terrorífica. Los gráficos de Madam Satán con sus ojos de calaca son geniales.

Me voy a leer el siguiente Issue...

[Monsour · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well.. Its getting interesting. I still need an explanation why Sabrina's dad get curse into a tree.

[Rebecca Crunden]

This series is so dark, I was not prepared for the level of horror, haha. Very well done though.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful artwork

[♥Milica♥ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was even better than the first one. We learn more about Madam Satan and I can't help loving her already. And I'm definitely going to steal her outfit from the end, it's so fetch.

[Sam Gillogly · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the comic book series that makes me want to read comics again. I am just head-over-heels for this thing. It's an inventively dark new spin on an old franchise, and it does not shy away from gore and genuine terror. Aguirre-Sacasa is doing an excellent job of pacing the characters' origin stories alongside a tense and intriguing plotline. And can we talk about the amazing artwork? Hack's eerie, evocative illustrations are 100% spooky autumnal bliss--somewhere between horror Impressionism, and sepia-tinged 60's nostalgia with grim undertones.

I only recently discovered that "Chilling Tales" was even a thing, and have gotten caught up with all four current issues in short order. I am just "dying" for the next one to come out. Keep up the good work, guys, this stuff is incredible!

Good but wanted more

I enjoyed this but honestly I wanted more Sabrina and more of the cast characters I was familiar with. I’m excited for the television series and want to read more in this world.

[Shelby Kollin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am absolutely loving how dark this one is! Much better than the first chapter and I'm hoping it continues to get better. With how dark this is getting, I'm starting to like it better than the tv show.

[Mel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was a bit worried vol 2 would become more teen angst but it was all Madame Satan and I loved that!

[Alisa (worldswithinpages) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Creepy af

I’m loving this series so much! I’m jumping into the third ASAP! Hoping for some more spooky and gory vibes!

[GabyUfita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Madame Satán es una villana genial! Me ha gustado mucho :)
El suspenso que se maneja y lo creeppy es lo mejor del comic, a mi gusto.

[Alicia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I finished reading this one at 4:30 this morning. I love these graphic novels. I never seem to know where the story is going to go next which I love in a book. Will definitely continue this series.

[Cristina (bibliotecadepueblo) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Después de la introducción que supuso el primer número, este segundo se centra en el personaje de Madam Satan, uno de mis favoritos en la serie y, espero, también en los cómics.
Dicho esto, me encanta ver que sigue habiendo diferencias con respecto a la serie, el no saber qué va a pasar me hace disfrutar mucho más la historia y, en el caso de Madam Satan, esas diferencias le dan aún más profundidad al personaje.

--ah.
My name: Iola.
Yesss, that's right...

[marta · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have a little more to say that I haven't already mentioned in the other review I did of these graphic novels.

I'm really enjoying getting to know Sabrina's original story and I'm looking forward to rewatching the Netflix adaptation, which I consider quite faithful to these volumes.

Although, I don't know (yet) if I like better the story told on paper or the other way.

Of course, I'm going to continue reading the following volumes. After all, I really want to and I'm very curious to discover what other changes from the original story have been made in the series.

[Haizea ✨⭐ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Madam Satán le aporta un poco de entretenimiento.

[Courtney (bookplaces) · Rating 2 out of 5]

This cover!😍 Unfortunately, I didn't love this issue nearly as much as I adore it's cover. It was interesting to learn the villain's history, however there wasn't much of Sabrina at all.

[gaymoonreader · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one wasn't my favorite, but I still really enjoyed this one! The sinister plot is starting to unfold, and I really appreciated how much we learned about the villain in this issue. It was super interesting to see, and I am wondering what Madam Satan is going to do. I think it will be super interesting to know if she plans on killing Sabrina or what other plans she could have for her. I think the story over the next few issues is definitely going to be an interesting one, and I cannot wait until I can read the next one!

[Klinta · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was so cool! The art and the story gave me proper chills, but at the same time, it was so interesting and intriguing without having the "classic bad guy" vibe. It sort of seemed like a cliche story but didn't feel that way at all.

Really enjoyed it, the ending was a bit uninspiring, but otherwise, it was brilliant.

[DJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

getting better!

[Sara · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's so dark.
and good.
but the drawings are not so great.

[Magical_Bookworm · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was okay. I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first one. I think I prefer the show. I will still be continuing on with the series.

[a · Rating 4 out of 5]

i love the art in the most weird way. Plus, this Sabrina may be not that charismatic? but i will keep reading because of Madam Satan.
