BOOM! Studios is making a series of announcements leading up to the New York Comic Con October 6th. Here we have the first two announcements with five more slated for next week and another three leading up the the first day of the convention.

First up is Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Giants, the follow-up to Archaia's Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Witches and Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Dragons. Here are the details of the first issue below, along with Conor Nolan's cover:

Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Giants #1 (of 4)
Writer / Artist / Cover artist: Conor Nolan
Format: 32 pages, full color Price: $3.99 On sale: December 7, 2016

Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Giants is a collection of mythic tales of when giants roamed the Earth, inspired by folklore from around the world and told in the spirit of Jim Henson's beloved television series. In this first issue, rising newcomer Conor Nolan reimagines the "The Peach's Son," a Japanese tale of a giant who was raised by humans but never accepted by them. When a nearby village is overrun with evil beings, the giant will take a chance to be a hero and prove himself to be part of the community he calls home. Upcoming issues will include stories by Brandon Dayton, Jared Cullum, and Feifei Ruan.

The second announcement is a tease of an upcoming original project with novelist Delilah S. Dawson (Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon, Wake of Vultures) and artist Ashley A. Woods (Niobe: She Is Life, Erathune), coming in January. Here is a teaser image, featuring a peek at the cover art by Elsa Charretier (The Unstoppable Wasp).
