What happens when a teenage witch craving a beach vacation crosses paths with a legendary vampire heroine? Expect magic, mayhem, and a delightfully spooky team-up! Two iconic comic book characters from very different supernatural worlds are joining forces in Sabrina the Teenage Witch X Vampirella, a new crossover series from Archie Comics and Dynamite Entertainment arriving this December. Written by acclaimed comics writer Tini Howard, the series promises a playful blend of classic Archie charm and darker supernatural adventure.

Sabrina Spellman may be a witch, but she’s also a teenager who dreams of a perfectly ordinary summer vacation, complete with sunshine, sand, and all the usual beach-town comforts. When her aunts finally grant her wish, there’s just one small catch: she has to housesit. Accompanied by her ever-adorable feline companion, Salem, Sabrina settles into an idyllic seaside community, hoping to keep her magical abilities under wraps. Unfortunately, one of her neighbors is anything but ordinary.

My Lame Cosplay Photos From Anime NYC, 2026!

We’ve been over this before. When I’m covering a fan convention like New York Comic Con, Flame Con or Anime NYC, I  just don’t really have the bandwidth — mentally, physically or creatively —t o do the kind of serious cosplay photography that most  of my fellow photographers do. You know the drill: stop someone, ask them to pose, find out exactly who they’re dressed as, photograph all the intricate details and then move on to the next character. Admirable, certainly, but it’s not my strength. My coverage takes much more of a hit-and-run approach.

This is directly related to the reasons I abandoned Halloween costume parties about 20 years ago: my costume ideas are lame and my competitive streak tells me that if I can’t be the best at something, I’d usually rather not play at all. While I have an enormous amount of admiration (read: jealousy) for the cosplayers who pour so much time and creativity into their costumes, I’m perfectly happy to remain an observer and leave the documentation to the experts.

After her recent intergalactic adventures as Phoenix, Jean returns to Earth only to discover that the world of the X-Men has changed dramatically in her absence. The fallout from DNX will leave the team in a very different place, while Jean herself must deal with the immense — and potentially dangerous — power of the Phoenix burning inside her.
