Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 Preview: One Spelling Error Could Turn Greendale Upside Down

Corinna Bechko, Kano, and Nick Cagnetti continue Sabrina Spellman’s new magical misadventures as one innocent attempt to organize her witchcraft threatens to become something far more dangerous.

Sabrina Spellman is discovering one of the most important rules of witchcraft:

Always check your spelling.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 arrives from Oni Press and Archie Comics on November 18, 2026, continuing the new series from Hugo Award–nominated writer Corinna Bechko, artist Kano, and bonus-story artist Nick Cagnetti.

After jumping back into the chaos of school, spells, family, and supernatural responsibilities, Sabrina decides she needs a better way to keep her magical life organized.

Her aunts have a solution.

Start a journal.

Simple enough.

Except this is Sabrina Spellman, and an ordinary journal can become something completely different once magic enters the equation.

One spelling error later, Sabrina may have created a grimoire far more powerful than she ever intended.

Sabrina Tries to Bring Some Order to Her Magical Life

Being a teenager is difficult enough without adding witchcraft to the schedule.

Sabrina is trying to stay on top of school during the day while continuing her magical education at night. The problem is that the supernatural side of her life is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

There are spells to remember.

Rules to understand.

Mistakes to avoid.

And probably more than a few magical consequences that nobody bothered to include in the instructions.

When Sabrina’s aunts suggest that she begin keeping a journal, it seems like the perfect solution.

Writing everything down could finally give her a way to organize what she has learned and make sense of the increasingly complicated dark arts.

Naturally, things go wrong.

Very wrong.

One Spelling Error Creates a Magical Problem

The central premise of Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 is built around a wonderfully simple joke:

Just because you are a witch does not mean your magic comes with spell-check.

Sabrina begins writing what she believes will be a helpful journal documenting her magical education.

Instead, she accidentally creates something considerably more powerful.

A grimoire.

That mistake immediately opens the door to exactly the kind of supernatural chaos that has always made Sabrina such a fun character.

A grimoire is not simply a notebook.

It can contain spells, rituals, magical knowledge, and potentially dangerous power.

If Sabrina has accidentally created one without fully understanding what she has done, the consequences could spread far beyond her bedroom.

The official setup promises that the situation could turn Greendale upside down, giving this second issue a larger magical problem while still keeping the story rooted in Sabrina’s everyday attempts to figure out who she is.

Corinna Bechko Balances Witchcraft With Teen Life

Writer Corinna Bechko has an ideal premise to explore the duality that has always defined Sabrina Spellman.

She is a teenager.

She is also a witch.

Neither side of her life politely waits for the other one to calm down.

Homework does not disappear because something supernatural needs attention.

Magic does not stop causing trouble because Sabrina has school the next morning.

The appeal comes from watching those two worlds constantly collide.

The grimoire storyline takes something completely ordinary — keeping a journal — and transforms it into a magical disaster.

That is classic Sabrina territory.

Instead of separating the supernatural elements from Sabrina’s teenage life, the story makes one responsible for complicating the other.

Kano Gives Greendale a New Magical Energy

Kano, the Eisner Award–nominated artist known for work including Daredevil, handles the main story’s artwork.

The visual identity of this new Sabrina series mixes contemporary teenage life with the stranger, more supernatural atmosphere surrounding Greendale.

That contrast is especially visible in the cover artwork accompanying issue #2.

Sabrina can appear relaxed with Salem one moment and surrounded by supernatural energy the next.

Magic is not something happening somewhere else.

It exists inside her bedroom, her school life, her friendships, and the supposedly ordinary spaces around her.

That helps the series maintain the essential Sabrina balance between supernatural horror, humor, teen drama, and colorful fantasy.

Salem Is Never Far From the Chaos

Of course, Sabrina would not be Sabrina without Salem.

The black cat appears prominently throughout several of the issue’s covers, sometimes sitting calmly beside Sabrina while magical energy erupts around her and elsewhere becoming part of the visual joke itself.

Salem has always been an important counterbalance to Sabrina.

Whether he is helping, judging, observing, or simply making a situation more complicated, his presence immediately brings another layer of personality to the story.

If Sabrina has accidentally created an extraordinarily powerful magical object, Salem will almost certainly have opinions.

Whether those opinions will actually help is another question.

A Bonus Story Adds More Magical Malpractice

The main story is not the only Sabrina material included in the issue.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 also features another bonus story centered on what Oni Press describes as magical malpractice, with artwork from rising star Nick Cagnetti, known for Spirit of the Shadows.

The additional story gives the 32-page issue more than a single magical disaster and provides another creative interpretation of Sabrina’s increasingly unpredictable world.

That bonus material also helps make the issue feel substantial for readers following the new series month to month.

Sabrina’s New Era Continues

The new Sabrina series arrived with plenty of attention surrounding her return.

Comic Book Addicts previously covered the launch with our look at the Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 midnight release, which highlighted the excitement surrounding the character’s latest comic-book era.

Readers who want more background on the relaunch can also revisit our coverage of Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1 from Oni Press and Archie Comics.

Issue #2 now has the opportunity to show what this creative team can do once the initial introductions are out of the way.

The setup suggests a series comfortable embracing Sabrina’s history while building its own voice.

Collector Spotlight: Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 Covers

Collectors will have an especially deep cover lineup to choose from for issue #2.

Cover A – Marguerite Sauvage

Marguerite Sauvage delivers the main cover, placing Sabrina in a more intimate setting surrounded by books, technology, Salem, and magical energy.

The cover captures the issue’s central theme perfectly.

Sabrina is trying to study and organize her life while supernatural forces literally swirl around her.

Cover B – Paulina Ganucheau

Paulina Ganucheau gives Sabrina a darker witch-inspired look, placing her with Salem inside a graveyard.

The vibrant pink and blue palette gives the cover a retro supernatural atmosphere while emphasizing Sabrina’s playful goth side.

Cover C – Khary Randolph

Khary Randolph offers a dramatically different approach, depicting Sabrina framed through an open window with Salem in the foreground.

The lighting and composition create a more cinematic supernatural mood.

1:10 Variant – Eleonora Carlini

The 1:10 Eleonora Carlini variant presents Sabrina in a fashion-forward design surrounded by shopping bags, flying papers, Salem, and an enormous red magical symbol.

There is also a 1:100 black-and-white version of Carlini’s artwork, giving collectors a stripped-down look at the original line work.

1:20 Legacy Variant – Dan Parent

Longtime Archie readers may be particularly interested in the 1:20 Dan Parent Legacy Variant.

Parent brings Sabrina back toward the classic Archie visual tradition, surrounding her with familiar supernatural faces emerging from a magical book.

The cover creates a direct visual bridge between Sabrina’s long comic history and her current Oni Press era.

1:50 Variant – DANI

The 1:50 DANI variant takes a moodier approach, depicting Sabrina riding through a dark forest with Salem balanced above her.

The limited palette and expressive brushwork give the cover an atmospheric indie-horror aesthetic that stands apart from the rest of the lineup.

Collectors interested in securing multiple editions can also find a Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 seven-cover set featuring the main covers and incentive variants through Golden Apple Comics.

Which Sabrina #2 Cover Stands Out?

This is one of those releases where the answer will depend heavily on what kind of collector you are.

Readers who want the primary representation of the issue may prefer Marguerite Sauvage’s Cover A.

Fans of modern Archie-style art may gravitate toward Paulina Ganucheau.

Collectors who enjoy cinematic composition have Khary Randolph.

Classic Archie fans have the Dan Parent Legacy Variant.

Fans of more experimental artwork have DANI’s 1:50.

And Eleonora Carlini collectors effectively have two different ways to own her artwork through the color and black-and-white incentive editions.

It is a strong lineup because the covers do not simply repeat the same image with slightly different treatments.

Each artist brings a noticeably different interpretation of Sabrina.

Why Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 Should Be on Your Pull List

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 has several things working in its favor:

• A fun magical mistake at the center of the story
• Corinna Bechko continuing Sabrina’s new era
• Main-story artwork from Kano
• A bonus story illustrated by Nick Cagnetti
• Sabrina attempting to create her first grimoire
• More supernatural chaos in Greendale
• Salem
• Seven distinct cover options
• Incentive variants ranging from 1:10 to 1:100
• A Dan Parent Legacy Variant connecting the new series to Sabrina’s Archie history

The concept also provides a perfect showcase for what makes Sabrina different from many other supernatural characters.

The magic is dangerous.

But the problem often starts with something completely relatable.

In this case, Sabrina is simply trying to become more organized.

That should be harmless.

Probably.

Final Thoughts

Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 takes a classic Sabrina problem and gives it a clever new twist.

She is not attempting some enormous forbidden ritual.

She is trying to write things down.

Unfortunately, when a witch starts putting magical knowledge onto paper, even a spelling mistake can become dangerous.

That combination of everyday teenage frustration and supernatural consequences is exactly where Sabrina works best.

Corinna Bechko has a premise that can deliver humor, magic, character development, and potentially some genuine supernatural danger, while Kano and Nick Cagnetti continue shaping the visual personality of this new era.

Add an unusually strong lineup of covers from Marguerite Sauvage, Paulina Ganucheau, Khary Randolph, Eleonora Carlini, Dan Parent, and DANI, and issue #2 should have plenty to offer both readers and collectors.

Sabrina wanted a journal.

She may have created something considerably worse.

Greendale is about to find out.
