According to Bleedingcool Sabrina's taken another huge hit in the delay department.

their whole horror line is fucked.
The Vol. 2 collection is currently listed as "In Shops: Feb 28, 2018" on Previewsworld; Jughead: The Hunger #3 is shown as "In Shops: Jan 24, 2018; and they're promoting the latest "horror" series Vampironica as being out with issue #1 "In Shops: Mar 14, 2018".
But Previewsworld still shows Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #9 as "In Shops: Dec 06, 2017".
(But since I don't think that ever happened, I'm guessing they're still waiting for a new date from Archie?)
Not to randomly resurrect an old thread, but we are now in October 2018 with solicitations through to the end of the year and still no sign of Afterlife or sabrina.
I think it's safe to say that neither of these titles will ever see the light of day again, certainly not in any recognisable form from what they were. Archie F'd up on this, but then they have F'd up a lot recently. Too focused on Riverdale and making the main comics like that really.
Never mind.
I'm enjoying there new Horror titles. The new Vampi title is great! And the new stuff they have plan looks fun. But yeah, it sucks that the two first titles couldn't keep up.
Pulls:
Coffin: La Muerta, Lady Death, Hellwitch. Valiant: Shadowman. DC: Poison Ivy.

The new Archie horror titles are fun, when treated as horror takes on conventional Archie comics. But The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was rather different - it was a first-rate horror comic (by Vertigo or Image standards) per se, quite apart from its Archie tie-ins. I really miss seeing how they would have followed up on the "Cthulhu wedding" story!
Vampironica and Jughead: The Hunger haven’t been too bad, all things considered, but they’re nowhere near as excellent as Afterlife and Sabrina were.
