In a landmark move for indie comics distribution, Oni Press and Archie Comic Publications have announced an unprecedented 12:01 AM release on October 7, 2026, for Sabrina the Teenage Witch #1.
It marks the highly anticipated debut of a brand-new ongoing series. It will hit shelves at midnight alongside Marvel’s high-profile Midnight Fantastic Four #1, Midnight Spider-Man #1, and Midnight X-Men #1.
Written by Hugo Award nominee Corinna Bechko (Green Lantern: Earth One) and illustrated by Eisner Award nominee Kano (Daredevil), the launch brings an extra spark of Halloween magic to comic shops nationwide.
Subversive Variant Covers and Retailer Perks Conjure Maximum Spookiness
To mark the occasion in properly spooky style, Oni Press is introducing the first-ever Archie Comics “Pyre Satanic” variant cover. This open-order variant features jaw-dropping artwork by Chloe Brailsford (Lobo). It also serves as a playfully subversive nod to a unique chapter in Archie Comics history.
