New Comics Day
The Comics rack has always been a hotbed of paganism and the occult. But lately the two big comic companies Marvel and DC have released “Witch” books aimed at teens.
The Witching (Vertigo, DC Comics imprint)
” Black magic. Occult sex rites. Gothic death rock. Cults, conspiracies and car crashes. What? Like those are bad things? Actually, they’re all part of the mix in THE WITCHING, a new ongoing series from VERTIGO that reinvents the ancient Triple Goddess archetype for our maniacal new millennium.Forget everything you thought you knew about witchcraft. Three hot new witches ? so new that some of them haven’t figured out yet that they are witches ? become mysteriously united?and the American melting pot will never be the same. – Promotional Text
Witches (Marvel Comics)
“Doctor Strange, Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, recruits three young witches — Jennifer Kale, Topaz and Satana – to find the mysterious Tome of Zhered-Na, which threatens to destroy the entire world!” – Promotional Text
Isn’t it nice to see all these fresh new ideas happening in comics? Of the two “The Witching” is the better title, but that is faint praise at this point. If you want a truly amazing occult-themed comic I suggest you check out Alan Moore’s Promethea “what Wonder Woman should be if she hadn?t been destroyed by generations of idiots? – Trina Robbins
