Our First Look at MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN Writer's New Supernatural Series ABBOTT: 1973

If you’re looking for a new supernatural comic series, consider checking out Abbott: 1973 from writer Saladin Ahmed (Miles Morales: Spider-Man), artist Sami Kivelä (Machine Gun Wizards), colorist Mattia Iacono, and letterer Jim Campbell. The first of five issues is launching next month, and the series follows a reporter in 1973 Detroit. Supernatural threats end up being behind the corruption in the city and it looks great.

Elena Abbott is one of Detroit’s toughest reporters—and after defeating the dark forces that murdered her husband, she’s focused on the most important election in the city’s history. But when someone uses dark magic to sabotage the campaign of the prospective first Black mayor of Detroit, it becomes clear to Abbott that the supernatural conspiracy in her city is even greater than she ever imagined. Now Abbott must exhaust all her abilities as a reporter and a supernatural savior to rescue Detroit—but at what cost to her own life?

Abbott: 1973 #1 will be available on January 20 with cover art by Taj Tenfold, Raúl Allén, and Jenny Frison. You can purchase physical copies through your local comic shops or digital copies through comiXology (affiliate link), Google Play, iBooks, and Madefire.
