The story, neutrally told

Collider published an exclusive first look inside Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2, from Oni Press and Archie Comics, which it says arrives on November 18. The new ongoing series is written by Hugo Award–nominated Corinna Bechko and illustrated by Eisner Award–nominated artist Kano. Collider says the series debuted on October 7 and that the second issue follows on November 18. Screen Rant gives the debut as October 7, 2027 and the second issue as November 18, 2026; the 2027 year is inconsistent with a second issue due in 2026.

In the preview, Sabrina accidentally creates a journal far more powerful than she intended. She admits that keeping a written record is making magic easier, but the journal mixes spell notes with personal frustrations, including her feelings about Harvey, and the entries are accompanied by a suspicious magical glow. Salem tells Sabrina to find him before she casts. She finds that an accidental rhyme can cause trouble, and that something later happens without her rhyming at all. That night Sabrina investigates the magic rising from the journal and is pulled into a golden, star-filled space of handwriting and glowing shapes, with no explanation yet of where she is. Collider praises Kano's full-page transition from her bedroom.

Screen Rant, citing the Collider preview, reads the premise as making Sabrina's own written thoughts potentially as dangerous as deliberate spellcasting, so that her teenage life becomes part of the magical threat rather than a villain.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on.
