Fifteen years after the events of Sleepy Hollow (1999 film), Ichabod Crane returns to Sleepy Hollow to investigate a string of suspicious deaths.
As a sequel to Tim Burton's film, this comic is a failure: Ichabod has forgotten all the lessons he learned and Katrina has somehow acquired a twenty-first century mindset. Although I think the book might have been okay as an original story, trying to tie it to the movie makes it seem like a pathetic attempt to ride the coattails of a popular work.
I'm also unimpressed by the art. The forest is appropriately creepy, but the people have a bizarre, almost batrachian look to them. The dull colors do not help the book at all.
