Archie Comics has announced an all-new special edition: The Archie Halloween Spectacular. This comic follows a new storyline involving Mother Striga, the new big bad of Sabrina’s world. The character debuted in the Sabrina Annual Spectacular, and although she functions as a standalone this time around, she follows a story that is part two of this Halloween Spectacular.
This is a big deal since Archie Comics doesn’t usually do crossovers, but especially since Sabrina’s current big bad, Amber Nightstone, sold out her debut issue years ago, and Mother -This was too big to do since Striga is her boss.
Archie Comics Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito said:
We had great success with the intro to Amber Nightstone and the Wicked Trinity. Amber’s first appearance sold out instantly. Sabrina hasn’t had a big villain like this before, so this Halloween we wanted to feature the mother of all witches, Mother Striga, the woman who gave all the other witches their bad name. I started sharing ideas with Steve Butler and Ian Flynn separately and Ian created the perfect story. Stephen decided on the look of the character before the script was written. These two are amazing, and that shows in this story.
Great characters are constantly playing themselves, as enemies, rivals, and friends. Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, Archie and Reggie, even Betty and Veronica. Sabrina has a great cast of characters, but it’s best to find new characters strong enough to add to the mix.
This comic is scheduled for release on October 2nd. If you don’t want to miss out, be sure to head over to your local comic store and pre-order.
