The Approach: A New Terror Descends In New Horror Series This October
Boom! Studios announced a new horror descending into comic shelves this October titled The Approach. The new horror series comes from writers Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley who team up with artist Jesús Hervás to unravel the turbulent mystery of an aircraft that disappears for twenty years and mysteriously reemerges but does so with a sinister storm that is much more than meets the eye.
Boom! Studios’ description of The Approach reads:
“When airport employees Mac and Abigail find themselves snowed in after a blizzard, they witness a terrible plane crash. After pulling a survivor from the wreckage, they realize a terrifying truth: this plane has been missing for 27 years! The nightmare has only just begun though, as the people trapped in the airport soon find themselves confronted by what this plane actually brought back. For those with a fear of flying, it’s not the sky that deserves dread, but what lies beyond it…”
Haun shares that this series serves as a love letter to 80s monster horror, saying:
“THE APPROACH is the story of a plane that crash lands at a small regional airport in the middle of a snow storm…after being missing for twenty years…and the horrible thing that came back with it. It’s our love letter to eighties monster horror, with an absolutely terrifying creature, conjured up by our amazing series artist, Jesús Hervás.”
Hervas notes the excitement and challenge of illustrating the series, saying:
“It’s been exciting working with Jeremy and Jason on this series because of the challenge of illustrating the horror and suspense while revealing just enough of the unknown mysteries and terrors that loom within the approaching storm. THE APPROACH is a wild ride, and I had a lot of fun drawing it, so I can’t wait for everyone to pick it up and start uncovering all the secrets hidden within the pages of the comic.”
The Approach #1 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally in October 2022 with a main cover by Haun and variant covers by artists Francesco Francavilla, Megan Hutchison-Cates, and Bjorn Barends. Check out the covers below:
