BOOM! Studios gave us a new look at the original graphic novel Empty. From Lumberjanes co-creator Shannon Watters and co-writer Branden Boyer-Whiteartist Berenice Nelleand colorists Kaitlyn Musto, Kieran QuigleyAnd Gonçalo Lopes comes a thrilling story of mystery, curses and crushes set in the iconic Sleepy Hollow. Here is the synopsis:
Isabel “Izzy” Crane and her family have just moved to Sleepy Hollow, the city made famous and haunted by Washington Irving’s legend of the Headless Horseman. But Izzy, a skeptic and city skeptic, has no time for superstition as she navigates life to a new address, a new school and, with any luck, new friends. Ghost stories aren’t real after all …
Then Izzy is drawn into the orbit of the city’s royal teenager, Vicky Van Tassel (yes, that Van Tassel) and the adorable college-level prankster Croc Byun. Vicky’s exhaustion from her family bond with the legend turns to terror when the trio begins to be haunted by the Knight himself, discovering a curse destined to destroy Van Tassel’s line. Now, they only have until Halloween night to break it, which means it’s a totally uncomfortable time for Izzy to develop a huge crush on the enigmatic Vicky.
Can Izzy’s practical nature help her deal with the unknown or just trip her up? As the calendar drops to 31st, Izzy will have to use all her wits and work with her friends to rescue Vicky and uncover the mystery of the legendary Knight of Sleepy Hollow, before it’s too late.
In our first look we see Vicky and Izzy meeting and what appears to be our introduction to Croc. I love ghost stories and spooky mysteries, so this is definitely one I want to check out when it releases on September 28, 2022 in local comics shops or October 4 in bookstores around the world.
