Dynamite Entertainment is going to carry the spirit of Christmas all the way through the new year with Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas. The miniseries, due in comic shops beginning in January, hails from critically acclaimed author Torunn Grønbekk and a murderer’s row of comics talent.
Across four issues, fans can dive deeper into Halloween Town with this spooky and sweet trick-or-treating tale, featuring the likes of Sally and the mischievous trio of Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
Per the official synopsis, “The enigmatic Dr. Finkelstein, Sally’s creator, has another creation in the works. When he debuts an unusual, yet unexpectedly adorable creature as a new pet, Sally is tasked with taking care of it. Only for the three resident trick-or-treaters of Halloween Town to have it in tow as they embark on their journey to Christmas Town.”
