The world ofArchie Comicshas always been a magical place - it is, after all, the home ofSabrina 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 aboutthe 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.
Here’s Lisa Sterle’s main cover and a variant by Soo Lee.
The Wicked Trinity all made their debut in various Archie titles over the last couple of years, but this is their first T+ rated (meaning for teens and above) comic. We’ve got an exclusive preview of the first issue in the gallery below and, well, it looks like it’s tough being a world-conquering witch when you’re still in high school.
Here’s Archie Comics' synopsis for the first issue:
“Sabrina’s magical nemesis Amber Nightstone and her sidekicks, Jade Kazane and Sapphire Gill, are intent on becoming the most powerful witches in the world. Isolated from so many around them, the three have formed a coven based on their individual needs for vengeance and true freedom. But when there is some dissent among the ranks, their small coven is threatened to be obliterated from within.”
The Wicked Trinity #1 is published by Archie Comics on June 12.
