The South Park gang are back, ruder and cruder than ever before in this bumper comic. After Cartman is tricked by Scott Tenorman he seeks revenge on the school bully, leading him down the path of pure evil. The boys are at their best in this hit episode.Oh dear. It seems that lessons haven't been learned from the abysmal 2012 annual, and once more we are presented with screen-grabs of an episode. Fortunately it is one of the better episodes (one of the very best), but this is an incredibly cheap and insulting affair for those who already possess the episode on DVD. At such a high cover price, this is beyond unacceptable when there are so many incredible creators producing original works - it is difficult to imagine even the most ardent fan of the series being satisfied with such an insubstantial product.
An annual to avoid.

101 I Fall to Pieces text story by Jon Vandergriff.
Despite the prominent placing of the Archie website address on the cover, there isn't a single strip reprinted from the US series which originated the character of Sabrina. It probably wasn't the intention, but this feels like a glossy (and very expensive, all things considered) advert for the DVD release of the television series, or - possibly - for the talents of whichever photograph agency supplied Pedigree with so many images.
Lacking features on witchcraft, the history of witch trials, sigils, cats, brooms, or even spellbooks, there's no attempt to stretch the limits of what an annual can possibly contain. A DIY CD holder hardly fits with the series' sensibilities, and the feature on magic tricks is hardly at the level of quality one would expect. And recipes? It feels as if Pedigree simply don't care.
It isn't as if I'm asking for a feature on Aleister Crowley.
