I have always been amazed by this story and watching movie Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton's 1999 film) made me go Aww.. in a very haunting manner, that to when it cast my favorite actor, Johnny Depp. Return to Sleepy Hollow, a sequel to film inspired by Washington Irving's 1820 short story, is a wonderfully atmospheric graphic novel that takes the familiar world of Sleepy Hollow and gives it a fresh, contemporary spin. Casey Gilly does a good job of capturing the eerie appeal of the setting while building a story that feels more expansive than a simple retelling. The mystery, supernatural elements and gothic atmosphere work particularly well together. The Harrowingly haunting artwork adds considerably to the unsettling mood.
What I enjoyed most was the way the graphic format allows the story to lean into its visual strengths—the shadows, expressions, strange occurrences and overall sense of unease make Sleepy Hollow feel like a character in its own right. The flow of story is generally engaging, although a few developments felt a little rushed and some character moments could have used more depth. Still, these are relatively minor issues in an otherwise enjoyable read. Additionally, my ARC being water-marked made it difficult to read the dialogues blended with it.
Overall, this spin-off is a fun and atmospheric revisit to a classic setting. It may not completely reinvent the legend, but it offers enough mystery, horror and visual storytelling to make the journey back worthwhile. A good work of fiction as a gothic graphic novel and supernatural mystery revisitation.

First off the illustrations are fantastic.
Next the story, based on a short story by Washington Irving that is soon to be a movie. The sequel to Sleepy Hollow, the best take on the Legend of Sleepy Hollow ever don't. Kudos to Tim Burton and Jonny Depp, a pair that guarants a good film in MHO.

I’m sad to say this was a bit of a miss for me. I was so excited when I saw this, as I love the movie that this is intended to be a sequel to. I even did a rewatch right before diving in. That being the case though, I really did not feel like this fit well as a sequel. The tone feels completely different from the movie and the characters did not feel consistent from the movie through to this comic. I know that a lot of time has passed, as this is set 15 years after the film, but I just didn’t resonate with this version of the characters.
I feel like with Ichabod and Katrina especially, some of the choices that this made had me questioning if we all saw the same movie. Ichabod choosing to repress/deny that he ever experienced anything supernatural in Sleepy Hollow or that anything supernatural exists felt a bit extreme in my opinion. I also feel like Katrina choosing to leave Ichabod behind to return to Sleepy Hollow felt like a weird decision given that she has lost everyone she loves there. I don’t know, I just don’t particularly resonate with those choices.
I also feel like the town’s distrust of Katrina also felt like an odd choice, especially after everything that happened there 15 years ago. I would think they would be more superstitious than we are led to believe in this and to be honest the town being suspicious of Katrina felt a little forced to me.
I also am just gonna name (HUGE SPOILER): the decision to make Ichabod have ancestral roots in the town is one I actually didn’t like. I feel like part of what makes Sleepy Hollow so effective is the fact that it is an outsider coming in and experiencing this weird town from that perspective.
Plot decisions aside, I struggled a bit to read this comic. It was a bit hard for me to get into initially, as I feel like the introduction was a bit confusing. It took me longer than it should have to realize who everyone was, especially the difference between who Lotte and Lily were in the first few pages. Once I got my bearings, I found the reading experience to feel a little all over the place, and the transitions between different scenes didn’t feel super clear or natural.
The art was both hit and miss for me. There were some times where I think the art was really cool and unsettling, but there were also a lot of panels where I had no idea what was happening or it was unclear who was talking.
Overall, this just didn’t land for me in the way that I had hoped. I think there was a lot of potential here, and I’m glad I tried it, but I ultimately felt like I am leaving this feeling a bit disappointed. I’m not sure that I would recommend it unfortunately.

1/5 stars
I really don't know what to say about this book. I get that it is meant to be a sequel of sorts to the Sleepy Hollow movie, but it takes so long to get to the recap that it left me confused on what was happening and who was who. Not to mention, that even the action scenes are boring. A 1/3 of the way through and I do not care about any of these characters or really the story being told here.
And the art style! I know that art is subjective, but there is some truly hideous art in this book. Which is really disappointing, given the cover has almost a different style than how the actual panels are done. There are some parts that look okay, but I feel like every single woman character is drawn either half-heartedly or like they are a troll. I can see the artist wanting a gritty feeling, but quite honestly I feel like I am not far off with the troll comparison. Even the men are not subjected to the same drawing as the women are, outside of Masbeth's design. If these drawings are supposed to depict Christina Ricci or Johnny Depp (which given it is based on the movie would be the logical conclusion to who they should represent), we have certainly missed the mark. It's giving more Alice in Wonderland meets Sweeney Todd for a Sherlock Holmes case.
If you feel like I am overly hating on the art, it is because I am. Because it is distracting from the actual story! There are many times where I could not focus on the speech bubbles because one of the characters has a half drawn face and looked like someone stepped on it at the same time. Gritty is okay, I have read my fair share of graphic novels that had weird artistic choices. But the ones in this book take away from the already dragging story being told. It is unfair to judge art, but it is also unfair to have one of the main aspects of reading a graphic novel be disappointing and distracting.
The story is not all bad! The cover art throughout is nice. The supernatural elements are kind of interesting and the deaths are horrific, but that is about all. There feels like nothing is worth the investment in this story, especially not with how it bounces around with no discernible direction at times. At certain parts it just feels like the author is throwing ideas at the wall and hoping something sticks. But just because it was not for me, does not mean that no one else would like it!
I guess I did have some things to say about this book after all, jeez!

Many thanks to IDW Publishing and NetGalley for sharing an advanced copy of Return to Sleepy Hollow by Casey Gilly with artwork by Savanna Mayer. This story is based on Tim Burton’s film version of the classic American tale of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. While the original story investigated the power of folklore and the power of reason to counter superstition, Burton’s vision seemed more steeped in goth and horror. Gilly and Mayer employ these darker visions to create a moody and atmospheric iteration of Ichabod Crane’s return to the village he helped save by solving the mystery of the Headless Horseman. Nearly 15 years later, the town experiences a resurgence in strange deaths occurring in the woods. Many of the bodies are found with roots, branches, and leaves in their bodies, which are completely drained of blood. The town is at a loss to explain these deaths, and call upon Ichabod to investigate these strange, ritualistic deaths. To further complicate Ichabod’s return, his former lover, Katrina Van Tassel, is Sleepy Hollow’s undertaker, and is raising her daughter, Lotte, who receives sudden, ghostly visions that may provide some insight into the victims of these murders.
Return to Sleepy Hollow is a great horror mystery with elements of supernatural possessions and witchcraft that I initially didn’t anticipate occurring in this story. The story moves from traditional folklore to something more like folk horror as we learn more about the sacrifices Sleepy Hollow’s founders made in order to help the village grow and prosper. Mayer’s creepy and sometimes gory artwork adds to the sense of dread and doom within this book. I enjoyed this mystery, although keeping track of some of the characters in the beginning of the book was a little difficult. Nevertheless, sticking with the story to see how the mystery is solved is worth the read. Recommended!

Previously, I’d never seen the film version, and when I finally did, it was a gothic dream only Tim Burton could conjure up. So I held great expectations for the sequel, and sadly, it fell flat. I honestly wanted to love it as much as the film it was inspired by, but I couldn’t, because it couldn’t hold a candle to it. I’d say the graphic artwork communicates extremely well, conveying that nightmare-fuel horror that true horror fans would love, and it sets the atmosphere of the storytelling. The story itself is where it gets weird. It isn’t as interesting as the Sleepy Hollow Headless Horsemen. Plotwise, it felt like it could’ve been meant for a whole different story, so it wasn’t restricted by having Sleepy Hollow attached. Doing so would’ve made it stronger. It was predictable and not as charming, and it didn’t have the same dark humor Tim Burton has, which was what I was expecting it to be. The way it progresses was horrifying, but it felt like it’s been done before, as it really doesn’t progress much until the middle/ending, and even at that point I was still lost. I kept asking myself, “What’s the plot of this novel about?” It seemed to focus less on the horror legend and more on love, regrets, and friendship, with a splash of horror. I would’ve loved it if it wasn’t attached to the Tim Burton film and as its sequel. So much pressure to amp up that horror aspect we all love from the film, so I know others reading this will have their expectations disappointed. The artwork carries through and communicates well enough. The story itself isn’t great.

This was a great sequel to Tim Burton's beloved and well known movie, Sleepy Hollow. I found the plot have the same atmosphere as the movie, giving off an eerie and darkly witchy feeling whilst also being mysterious, gothic and romantic, the artwork really conveys this too. Whilst not as scary or iconic as the movies story, I did find myself wanting to know the mysteries behind the origins of Sleepy Hollow, and I also liked how this graphic novel leaned on the witchcraft and magic side of things too.
The characters Ichabod Crane and Katrina Von Tassel are very much the same people as before, just older and more mature now, especially as the pair have a teenage daughter now too. I admittedly at first wasn't keen on how the author created distance between Ichabod and Katrina from where the movie left off to the start of this book, giving the opportunity for this book to weave them back together, especially since their love felt strong in the movie, however it wasn't a big gripe to me, and I ended up enjoying it near the middle.
Overall, I would say this is a good sequel story and is great for a spooky, short read, however it lacks some of the same macabre, intriguing and Sleepy Hollow-ness the movie has. Regardless, I'd recommend for anyone wanting a gothic graphic novel to read this spooky season!
3/5 🌟

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Perhaps I came into this with a bias, having watched and loved the Sleepy Hollow movie. While it was interesting to see the characters again -- and I really liked the idea of Ichabod and Katrina separating and then reuniting -- and thought the author put some actual thought into how time would change both the characters and the town ... this comic is a miss, for me.
For one, all of the characters, from a young woman and her housemaid to Ichabod, Katrina, a constable, a demon ... they all sound exactly the same. They talk to the same, have the same indifferent reactions, it's just a complete lack of character. The plot itself isn't horrible, but the connecting scenes and big reveal scenes feel rushed and often confusing. I felt like I was filling in a lot of the gaps on my own where the story just threw things at me and ran away.
I don't often comment on art, because I feel like art is more subjective, and not everyone shares my personal aesthetic ... but the art in this comic did not appeal. There were several panels which just looked ... off. One in particular of Lottie, reclining in a sofa, tilting her head to the ceiling was drawn at such an odd angle that she looked like something out of an evil dead movie. I just didn't enjoy it.
I'm sorry, but this is a pass. The ideas are interesting, but the end result doesn't work for me on any level. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC.

Beautifully Crafted Horror That Was Too Intense for Me
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
DNF.
From the opening pages, Return to Sleepy Hollow immediately establishes a dark, gothic atmosphere that feels like a natural continuation of the 1999 Sleepy Hollow film. The artwork is detailed, immersive, and wonderfully unsettling, and the opening efficiently reintroduces the world without feeling like a retelling.
Unfortunately, I realized very quickly that this was a much more intense horror experience than I personally enjoy. The graphic imagery and body horror elements were incredibly effective, but they crossed into territory that simply isn’t a good fit for my reading preferences. Rather than feeling intrigued, I found myself wanting to look away.
This is absolutely a case of “it’s me, not the book.” If you’re looking for atmospheric gothic horror with disturbing visuals and supernatural elements, this graphic novel appears to deliver exactly that. It simply wasn’t the right fit for me.
⭐ DNF
Who Should Read This?
Readers who enjoy gothic horror, supernatural folklore, and graphic horror imagery—especially fans of the 1999 Sleepy Hollow film who don’t mind body horror—will likely appreciate what this graphic novel is aiming to do.

Do you ever wonder what happened after the Headless Horseman was banished from Sleepy Hollow? Find out by diving into Return to Sleepy Hollow. We join our gang fifteen years after the events of that fateful night, and we discover there are new concerns and old secrets that need to be addressed. Ichabod and Katrina unfortunately never made it work, and Katrina went back to Sleepy Hollow to take care of the town. However, when events start going awry, Ichabod is called back to help solve the mystery and ensure that Sleepy Hollow stays safe.
This is an excellent premise for a book. I absolutely adore Sleepy Hollow. I've read the books, seen the movies, and even been to Sleepy Hollow. So, it's an understatement to say that I was beyond myself when I saw this book announced. However, maybe my high expectations ended up coloring my view of this one. I was disappointed in the story progression and found it hard to follow without clear breaks. I really liked the storyline surrounding Ichabod and Katrina. The illustrations also felt a little messy. I would have preferred a different style here because it almost felt blurry. I think people that are more surface level fans will likely find this very interesting and fun, unfortunately, this one was not for me.

Return to Sleepy Hollow has an intriguing premise—returning to the gothic world established in the 1999 Tim Burton film fifteen years later—but the execution falls short of its potential.
The biggest hurdle is the narrative flow. The plot jumps around abruptly, making it difficult to stay anchored in the mystery or feel invested in the characters' motivations. Returning favorites and new faces alike feel underdeveloped, and the central conflict gets lost in choppy transitions and disjointed pacing.
The artwork also proves to be a mixed bag. While there are atmospheric moments with moody coloring, much of the line work and character rendering feels inconsistent. In several key action sequences, the panel layouts become muddy and difficult to parse, pulling you out of the story right when the tension should be building.
There are flashes of great gothic atmosphere here, but a convoluted storyline and uneven visuals keep this from being the standout follow-up fans might hope for. Worth a casual look for die-hard fans of the lore, but otherwise a middle-of-the-road read.

Sleepy Hollow has been peaceful for fifteen years, but that calm never lasts.
Return to Sleepy Hollow is a fun and atmospheric continuation of the classic tale. As someone who has always loved this story, I enjoyed stepping back into the world and seeing what happened after the original events. The town faces a new wave of murders that seem connected to the Headless Horseman, and Ichabod Crane is called back to help Katrina uncover the truth. Their reunion adds a personal layer that I found engaging.
The artwork is colourful and bold, with plenty of eerie moments that suit the tone. Some panels feel a little messy, but the overall atmosphere is strong and helps the story shine. The mystery unfolds at a good pace, and the final twist is satisfying. I also liked the way the book leans into seasonal vibes. It feels perfect for a cosy autumn or winter read.
This graphic novel will appeal to fans of Sleepy Hollow, Tim Burton’s film and anyone who enjoys supernatural folklore with a murder mystery edge. I had a great time with it and would happily recommend it.

Thanks to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for the digital copy of this book; I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Content warnings provided by the reviewers on Storygraph:
Graphic: Death, Violence, Murder
Moderate: Gore
I’ve always loved th3e original Sleepy Hollow story, and I thought some of the things in the Tim Burton movie were clever, so naturally I was interested in Return to Sleepy Hollow. Would I feel the same about the sequel?
One of the reasons I love the Sleepy Hollow story is that there’s a protagonist who works hard to debunks myths and mysteries. However, I thought at times that the illustrations were a little too gory and violent. That’s a me-problem, not necessarily a problem for you. I mean, they’re very realistic in manner and tone, so if you’re used to horror, have at it.
Another reason that kept me from loving this graphic novel is that I definitely felt a different tone from the original movie. I realize that events are taking place fifteen years later than the original film, but the characters felt too different. Some of the choices made with the plot did not seem to match up.
The artwork (when not gory) was beautiful and atmospheric/gothic. I’ll be curious to see how closely this graphic novel matches up with the movie.

Another great classic brought in the form of a graphic novel! This is a pretty dark reimagining of the 1999 Tim Burton classic. We are following Ichabod Crane as he returns to Sleepy Hollow 15 years later. There are several missing people and gruesome deaths happening in this town. Savanna Mayer did an excellent job with the renderings and the illustrations in this graphic novel. I don’t think I’ve seen such specific drawings that felt like they were styled from the early 1800’s. It felt very on brand, dark, twisted, and scary at times that fit the style well. I loved how Ichabod kept firm in his background of science and didn’t want to explore any other possibilities of what was really going on in Sleepy Hollow as he slowly uncovered the mysteries lurking there. He had several people advising him on the possibilities of what could be going on, but he ultimately stuck with his gut as he uncovered some dark secrets and pasts within this town. Casey Gilly did a great job capturing the essence of this story while also adding some interesting additions to the storyline and he kept you guessing until the very end!
Another great classic brought in the form of a graphic novel! This is a pretty dark reimagining of the 1999 Tim Burton classic.

Me being a long time fan of the sleepy hollow tale definitely made me want to read the book more! Return to Sleepy Hollow is a classic. I enjoyed the graphics and the colorful illustrations it made the comic more enchanting. If you’re a fan of Sleepy Hollow this is definitely something you want to dive into. I highly recommend this book.
This story is based on Tim Burton’s classic the Sleepy Hollow that took place 15 years ago. This story follows the aftermath of the events that took place. There hasn’t been any murders that took place in the quiet town for 15 years, all appears to be well. Until one day the murders begin again and the signs point to the headless horseman. But after further investigation things are not what it appears to be.
I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. I love the plot twist at the end of the comic as I wasn’t expecting it plus the secrets that were unveiled. Definitely something that’s ideal for the cooler month Fall/ Winter months.
Thank you Casey Gilly and IDW publishing for allowing me to read this comic book. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Sleepy Hollow is one of my favourite movies and I was so excited to dive into this. But it took me so long to finish, especially considering it’s a graphic novel.
Personally, I had to keep forcing myself to read this and when I did, I just wanted it to be over.
The characters didn’t feel like the characters we all know and love. They felt like a shell of their past selves but not in a trauma way, more in a ‘don’t tell them we’ve been cloned’ kinda way.
The scenes kept flip flopping often but without any prominent change in the artwork or dialogue. I often struggled to tell the start of a new scene, but I know this is probably a me problem.
I understand art is subjective and I can’t draw for the life of me. But I think the art didn’t match the writing, that might be why it felt so (sleepy) hollow (not funny, I know). I did enjoy the art work and found it really interesting but it just didn’t fit the authors voice in my opinion.
I think the art and the story individually was good, but together, it just didn’t work.
💕thank you for the arc💕

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for kindly giving me an ARC.
I really enjoyed this. I thought the narrative was really well crafted; it echoed the original source material, but added on to it in a new and exciting way, that held true to the original characters whilst developing them within what would be realistic for their character development and personalities. I really liked the idea of Ichabod being a man of science and rejecting the idea of the supernatural/folk tales despite his own experience with what was undeniably the supernatural. I also loved the concept of him and Katrina having a child, but Ichabod not knowing that Lottie is his. It added a really interesting dynamic to their relationship and Lottie's ability to commune with the supernatural was a fantastic plot device and a great way to develop her character.
The art was absolutely beautiful and very creepy! It had a lot of aspects of botanical horror, whilst not being overly gory just because it could.
I love the original story of Sleepy Hollow and this novel felt like a fantastic homage to it.

When dead bodies start turning up in the small village of Sleepy Hollow again 15 years after the movie, Ichabod Crane and Jonathon Masbeth are summoned back to Sleepy Hollow to solve the mystery. This was a worthy successor to the Tim Burton film and I could see myself picking this up every October for a read. I enjoyed the art style of the panels and the story was compelling enough to keep you entertained and interested. There's a good bit of gore and a few twists and turns. Sitting out on the porch with a Halloween/Fall playlist reading this as a storm starts to blow in would be the perfect setting to read this. The only thing I could complain about is some pages have a lack of color and art. Some panels will show a character in a white background which I feel would serve better with a bit more. If you're into spooky vibes and love the fall season and Halloween, this is definitely worth picking up. Thank you to Netgallery, IDW publishing and Casey Gilly for the advanced copy and shout out to Savanna Mayer for the beautiful art

Return to the Sleepy Hallow is a gory graphic novel that continues the Tim Burtons version of Sleepy Hollow. I loved the movie so I was dying to see what that looks like in a graphic novel format.
Firstly the art was beautiful. The art style helped to set the mood, It was the perfect style for portraying the gore and the nature infused horror of the story.
I hadn’t watched the movie in a very long time, or read any books about sleepy hollow. I don’t think this effected the enjoyment of this too much, There were one or two side characters I was wondering If I should remember from the previous work, so I would say you can go in blind, but it definitely helps that I saw the movie 100 times when I was younger.
The story is a bit of a murder mystery. There are killing that have returned to the sleepy hollow, a letter reaches Ichabod Crane calling him into town to where he meets his long estranged love Katrina Van Tassel. From there with their apprentices/children they try to solve the murders and crimes of Sleepy Hollow past.

Big thanks to the publisher for approving my request for this book.
Note: This review is coming from someone who hasn’t seen Sleepy Hollow yet.
As a horror fan, the graphics in this novel are insane, and I constantly found myself pausing to admire the visuals because they don’t hesitate to show how creepy and unsettling the story is. Overall, the story was fantastic—I love a good murder mystery tied in with the supernatural, and the conclusion was deeply satisfying. I even found myself rooting for Ichibod and Katherine to get back together. The plot and overall execution of this miniseries were so enjoyable that I would love to see a spin-off or continuation in the future. This is definitely worth reading if you enjoy spooky vibes and don’t mind seeing gore. Beware if you can’t take seeing stuff like that.
Ratings: Thrilling: 5/5 | Suspense: 5/5 | Mystery: 5/5 | Horror: 5/5

Thanks to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for the advanced copy.
I actually quite enjoyed this, especially the art by Savanna Mayer and others!
This takes place 15 years after the film and Katrina has long returned to Sleepy Hollow to help her people, leaving Ichabod and young Masbeth in New York City. A mysterious new force of darkness is at work in Sleepy Hollow, leaving it up to Katrina and Ichabod to once again defeat it and save the town and townsfolk.
I think the reviews on this are quite torn with fans of the film (which I do enjoy) not liking this as much but I think this is honestly on par with the film, which isn't perfect either. There are lots of callbacks and references to the film, to tie everything together, and I liked the story itself which felt like it fit into this world quite well.
I think this was a solid 4 stars.

I am grateful to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book's arc.
I freely wrote this review.
I longed to return to Sleepy Hollow, and Casey Gilly and Savanna Mayer's novel "Return to Sleepy Hollow" provided just that. It was eerie to read. The small community is essentially unchanged from where it left off in the film. Many years after Ichabod Crane and Katrina van Tassel have cracked the case of the headless horseman, this book is set. Ichabod Crane must return to the little village in this book in order to unravel the mystery behind a recent string of murders. It was captivating to see the mystery is unravel at the conclusion. I adored the illustrations and the style.
I would give it four stars overall (one star exclusively for those lovely illustrations). This is ideal for a quick, spooky fall read.

Thank you netgalley for an early copy
This graphic novel was a bit of a mixed experience for me. The story was decent and kept me interested enough to finish, but it never fully grabbed me emotionally or did anything particularly memorable. The characters were serviceable, and the plot moved at a steady pace, but overall it felt more "okay" than exceptional.
What really elevates this book is the artwork. Every page is stunning, with incredible attention to detail, expressive character designs, and beautiful use of color and composition. Even during slower moments in the story, I found myself lingering on the illustrations because they were so impressive. The art does much of the heavy lifting and gives the book a distinct personality that the narrative sometimes lacks

Tim Burton’s “Sleepy Hollow” was such a beautifully rich piece of art. One of my all-time favorite movies. So, when you declare you are making a sequel in the form of a graphic novel, there is a high bar to reach.
First, the artwork is atmospheric and good. Adds to the gritty feel. However, I have to say that some of the alternate covers that are presented in the back are truly a work of art. Absolutely gorgeous.
The feel of this graphic novel tries to match the movie. Most of the time it succeeds, but not completely. The story has promise but just didn’t connect as well as the movie.
A good entry into the story of Ichabod.

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.

Thank you Netgalley for the early access to this!
I was first introduced to Sleepy Hollow by the 1999 movie starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci so I had a vaugue idea of what to expect and what characters could show up and I am happy to see some familiar names!
I'd say that this comic had everything errie and suspenseful that you'd expect which did mean the plot felt slow since I was essentially "waiting" for characters to be introduced or explained. The mystery of it all was also a bit flat, with things being so nuanced sometimes things aren't explained or don't entirely make sense.
The art was also a 50/50 for me. On one hand, the art style really lends to the horror aspect but the characters do tend to look the same.
All in all, not a bad read!

Return to Sleepy Hollow is basically a sequel to Tim Burton’s movie Sleepy Hallow. It takes place in Sleepy Hollow fifteen years after the events of the movie. It follows Katrina Van Tassel, living in Sleepy Hollow again with her daughter, Lotte. She runs a funeral home with her friend, Lily, and her daughter, Maggie.
Ichabod Crane gets a letter to return to Sleepy Hollow because of a strange set of murders that have been taking place. He is unaware that all this time he has a daughter with Katrina. He brings his ward, Masbeth along.
I found the story pretty cool. It was spooky and fun to read. I enjoyed the story. Also the artwork was pretty neat.
Overall, I liked it. It definitely makes me want to rewatch the movie and then read this again!

this was a pretty good sequel to the tim burton movie, sleepy hollow! a big draw of this story is the dark, eerie atmosphere, and the plot and art style here definitely reflected that very well ‧｡ 𖦹 ° ‧
i did think it moved a little slow at the beginning, likely just to set everything up, but it definitely picked up by the third issue. i was also wanting a couple things to be slightly more fleshed out, to add greater depth to certain elements of the story. but because there were only five issues, that’s pretty much just the nature of this medium.

I am not the biggest fan of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (the book and the 90s film) however this sequel is easy enough to follow if you've seen, read or know the story. It is hauntingly beautiful in its art (we have murders, human remains, eco horror-esque gore and possessions) and it is the most eye catching art style to depict these kinds of scenes.
The plot does get predictable but is enjoyable for the type of predictability (I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it). It was an easy read but for me the art kept me reading.

I am a super huge fan of the movie Sleepy Hollow (1999) and was really excited to find out about this sequel. I feel it's really hard to conjure the magic of Sleepy Hollow without the Headless Horsemen, so this had a lot to stack up against. I liked the story and I thought there were some really cool horror/gore moments. But overall the art style was not for me and I had a hard time following what was happening at certain points; it almost felt like there were panels missing. There were also too many random characters and not enough distinct personalities for me.
