Sabrina: Something Wicked concludes in this chapter with a somewhat unusual duel. The battle between good and evil basically comes down to a supernatural version of Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm not doing the showdown justice, as there's much more to it than that. Writer Kelly Thompson creates a stark contrast between Sabrina and Della based on the attacks they use. Della hits with dark and frightening blows, designed to maim and kill her opponent. Meanwhile, Sabrina sticks to the light, using positive energy to counteract these attacks, finally forcing Della to confront her own sordid past.

With nearly a year between issue 1 & 5 made things harder to remember & follow, but overall I’m still a big fan. I love Sabrina as a character in all her many iterations and Kelly Thompson does a wonderful job making her modern without making her cheesy. Definitely looking forward to a 3rd story arc in the longer running series!

My Thoughts On: Sabrina: Something Wicked #5

1. Look, I called it that Della would somehow be the villain of this tale. She had Big Villain Energy, and I never trusted her so this reveal really did very little for me. Not sure why Sabrina's surprised.

2. Okay, so Radka and Ren's mom was a witch? Who left a council because of her kids? And was cursed by Delia? Seems a little late to reveal this information, but okay.

3. The artwork of Veronica and Andy Fish for this series is so underrated, and I feel the need to shout it out and praise it whenever I get the chance. In the words of Taylor Swift, it is a technicolor dream.

4. The witches face down with a card game? Sure, why not.

5. Look, I know I was rooting for Ren, but after the Sabrina/Harvey breakup he's sort of leaving me cold. I'll have to see where this relationship develops.

6. Huh, that seems like it was too easy?

7. Okay, I take it back. Maybe just the kiss scene left me cold. Ren is a cutie who knows who Sabrina is and likes her for her and also wears a leather jacket!

8. WE GOT SALEM SWEARING IN THIS ISSUE! I'M IN LOVE! SOMEONE MAKE THIS IMAGE FOR ME ON A MUG!

9. Where the hell are Sabrina's aunts? Don't they know their teen witch niece has been engaging and all kinds of hijinks? And who is Ambrose? And why is he here?

10. Ah, cliff-hanger. Not that satisfying a wrap-up for this arc, but I'm curious to see what happens next.
