Anything from her replies and her actions to facial expressions look mature to me and that’s a good thing hahah. I feel like Sabrina in the comics was so mature.? I wouldn’t believe she’s a teenager to be honest. It’s raw and sharp while playing with colours from the warm colours spectrum which are linked to visual stimulation and Hell Devilish themes. The artwork allows us to really feel the spookiness and enchanting vibes of witchcraft. Like any novels, the graphics novel explores a lot of details about Sabrina’s source of powers but more importantly, it explores the traits and background of the side characters. But not any edition of the comics, the gory and scary one. When Netflix announced they will release a TV show based on the comics, I was all over the moon. Who watched Sabrina The Teenage Witch when they were young? *raises hand* That show was so funny and the 2000s teenager in me loved every single bit of it. ![]() Rainbow six siege xbox7/8/2023 ![]() Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is constantly expanding: each season brings new content, in-game events, and more.
