Novelist Saladin Ahmed is currently behind one of Marvel ’s most challenging comics , thevivid and beautiful Black Bolt solowith Christian James Ward . But his next task sounds just as exciting : an original series for Boom that promises some skilful old - fashioned supernatural law-breaking .
Announced by Boom today , Abbott — penned by Ahmed ( who , full disclosure , haspreviously written for Gizmodo and io9 ) and with art from Beautiful Canvas ’ Sami Kivelä — follows the investigations of diary keeper Elena Abbott , as she seek out crimes the Detroit Police department have give up on resolution … mostly because Elena know they ’re criminal offence due to the dark magic and supernatural force that claimed her married man ’s biography .
Supernatural offense solving is n’t exactly newly - trod ground in comic strip , but Ahmed ’s work on Black Bolt this year is one of the most surprising novel books out at Marvel right now . His first example of dipping his toes into the world of comedian writing has us incredibly frantic to see where Elena ’s story goes .
Abbott # 1 is set to hit shelves in January 2018 .
