Abbott 1979

A while ago, BOOM! Studios announced that it will release Abbott 1979 – the third and final chapter of the Abbott trilogy – this fall.

It’s been such a joy to return to Detroit with our hard-nosed, chain-smoking tabloid reporter, and I hope everyone will check out what she’s up to.

The first issue will hit stores soon, so stay tuned!

On the eve of the 1980s and the Reagan Administration, Detroit is burdened with an oppressive darkness–both political and supernatural. Dejected and tough tabloid reporter Elena Abbott, who previously defeated the occult forces responsible for her husband’s death, must dig herself out from rock bottom if she’s going to save Detroit from the Umbra, one last time… Elena will have to contend with the dark cloud hanging over Detroit… and over her own life.
