Now featuring a special, open-order variant cover matching the recently revealed “Pyre Satanic” treatment for SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH #1 by cover artist Chloe Brailsford (Lobo, The Deadman), all copies of the new SABRINA #1 and its corresponding ARCHIE #1 variant will be made available for sale at 12:01 AM on October 7th, 2027 – making both milestone issues available alongside Marvel's Midnight Fantastic Four #1, Midnight Spider-Man #1, and Midnight X-Men #1 on what is sure to be one of the biggest new release days of the year.
The release will be Oni’s second “Pyre Satanic” variant cover for the publisher's new highly anticipated Archie Comics line, and the next in a subset of surprise variant covers echoing a unique chapter of Archie Comics history in a playfully inverted way.

Winters (EC’s Cruel Universe) and Eisner Award-winning artist Fábio Moon (Daytripper) will arrive in comic shops worldwide on September 2nd.

The Final Order Cut-Off (FOC) for SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH #1 (including the “Pyre Satanic” Variant) and the ARCHIE #1 “Pyre Satanic” Variant will be Monday, August 31st.
