BOOM! Studios’ announced Sleepy Hollow four-issue miniseries has a premiere date: October 15th – just in time for Halloween.
From writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Jorge Coelho, the series opens with Ichabod Crane and Lt. Abby Mills glad to see a series of minor miracles of the positive kind occurring in Sleepy Hollow – but, as we’ve come to expect, all is not as it seems.
Each issue will also feature a short backup story written and illustrated by Noelle Stevenson. Follow the jump for further details.
Writer Marguerite Bennett (Butterfly, Batman: Joker’s Daughter) and artist Jorge Coelho (Polarity) dive into the mysterious town of Sleepy Hollow, New York, with new, original stories for Ichabod Crane (played by Tom Mison in the show) and Lt. Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie). Featuring multi-layered characters and creepy storylines, our four-issue Sleepy Hollow comic is perfect for “Sleepyheads” (self-described fans of the show) and newcomers alike. As an added bonus, each issue will feature a short backup story written and illustrated by Sleepy Hollow megafan Noelle Stevenson (Lumberjanes).
Here is the synopsis for Sleepy Hollow #1:
After dying on the battlefield during the Revolutionary War, Ichabod Crane awakes in present-day Sleepy Hollow, New York. His resurrection is tied to the reappearance of the Headless Horseman, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Realizing it is his mission to help stop the end of the world, Ichabod teams with the SHPD’s Lt. Abbie Mills to meet each evil threat head-on. When minor miracles start to sweep the town, they’re glad something good seems to be happening for once. No decapitations, no headless horseman, no worries, right? But as one by one the miracles start to backfire, more and more violently, Abbie and Ichabod must find time between saving the world to save the citizens of Sleepy Hollow…
