Sleepy Hollow - For the Triumph of Evil...

When her sister’s former psychiatrist (Mary Kraft) commits suicide during what could be called a waking dream, Abbie (Nicole Beharie) and Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) begin looking into the case of Jenny Mills (Lyndie Greenwood) and why the psychiatrist’s last act on Earth was to apologize to Abbie for keeping her committed even though the doctor knew the demon the woman saw when she was a child was all too real.

After receiving a vision from his dead wife Katrina (Katia Winter), Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) attempts to convince Abbie (Nicole Beharie) that a witch (Monique Ganderton) is on her way to Sleepy Hollow which a resurrected Dunn (John Cho) helps bring forth and lead her to her victims. After doing some digging, and prowling around in some Revolutionary War era hidden tunnels long forgotten under the streets of Sleepy Hollow, Crane and Abbie discover the witch is targeting the descendants of those who burned her at the stake.

Sleepy Hollow - Pilot

Loosely, very loosely, based on Washington Irving‘s short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, FOX’s new series casts Tom Mison as Ichabod Crane (re-imagined as a Revolutionary War soldier rather than a superstitious schoolmaster) who in the opening scene beheads a dark figure who also manages to strike down Crane on the battlefield, becoming (as the Pilot tells us) forever linked by blood. More than two centuries later, Crane and the Headless Horseman both awake in modern times where their battle will begin again in Sleepy Hollow.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine #25

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine #25Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine comes to a close with Buffy and the Scoobies fighting for their lives inside The Deeper Well against Simone and the demon Maloker. With the new seed ready to burst, and return magic back into the world, Buffy’s friends are able to make it to safety leaving the Slayer one-on-one with the turned Simone for control of the Scythe.

There’s plenty of action in this final issue as Buffy is finally able to stake the bitch and make it out of The Deeper Well and rejoin her friends. With magic returned, Willow and the Scoobies are able to bring Dawn back and set everything right with the world. Well… almost everything.

The issue’s final panels show us the rules have changed as the laws of magic, vampires, and possibly much more are all different under the new seed than the old. Although Buffy and her companions survive (sadly without Illyria who doesn’t make it out of the Well), the world they return to may be far different than the one they left. Worth a look.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine #24

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine #24There’s action aplenty in the latest issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine as various factions battle miles below the surface of the Earth inside The Deeper Well for Dawn‘s life, the future of magic, and the lives of everyone on Earth.

Leaving Willow to find the magic needed to save Dawn (which she discovers in the form of a new seed slowly growing near the center of the Well), Buffy heads after the now turned Simone (now twice as strong and dangerous), which leaves the rest of the group of defenders to deal with the awakened Maloker, and the most unlikely person of all to talk Severin down from his mad quest to reset all of reality by sharing her own pain and loss.

The season is certainly going out with a bang as this issue is packed with characters, actions, and even a couple of nice surprises. Aside from Willow looking decidedly Joker-like (seriously, what’s up with that?) this not much for me to complain about other than how sad I am to only have one issue left to wrap-up the season. Must-read.
