The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Time again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for interesting new adventure comics.

Antarctic

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: There are some stories that I'm just going to have to check out every time they're adapted. Ichabod and the Headless Horseman is one of them. I can't get enough of that galloping, Colonial-era, pumpkin-headed noggin-chopper.

Archaia

The Grave Doug Freshley: I swear I didn't notice the pun when I went through the catalog the first time. I'm observant that way. Honestly, that cools my interest a little. Even though the solicitation compares the book to Sergio Aragones and Looney Tunes, I'm hoping that there's as much soul as schtick to this story about a gunfighter who comes back from the dead to protect a boy in order to fulfill a promise. I tend to trust Archaia's taste though, so it's hope with a foundation. That title though...

Okko: The Cycle of Earth: Now this I have no reservations about. I read the first volume as single issues and decided that I needed the rest on my bookshelf instead of my comic boxes. Absolutely gorgeous and mysterious Japanese-inspired fantasy.
