The Last Witch: Blood and Betrayal #2 | Preview

June 19, 2025 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Today we have a preview of the second issue of The Last Witch: Blood and Betrayal, by by Conor McCreery (Kill Shakespeare) and V.V. Glass (Doctor Who), published by BOOM! Studios under their BOOM! Box imprint. As you may remember from our preview of the first issue, this is a YA story set in medieval Ireland. Here’s the publisher’s description:

Brahm disappears, and Saoirse is frantic with worry, knowing there are evil witches looking for any upper hand against them.


The search takes them underground, where they discover that their enemies are even more powerful than they imagined and are closer than ever to their goals.


Will Saoirse’s training with Nan be enough to defeat them? And will she be able to keep control of her temper when her powers are constantly encouraging her to embrace her anger?

This issue will be published on July 30, but we’ve got the first look right here. Enjoy!
