The heartbreaking ending of Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands left the fate of the tragic hero up to the imagination of the viewers.
Now, 24 years after the release of the film, fans will get an official follow-up to the story in the form of a five-issue comic book series.
The series will feature the now teenage granddaughter of Edward’s love interest Kim, portrayed by Winona Ryder in the movie.
The official synopsis for the series reads:
“In a castle just outside a sleepy suburban town, a brilliant inventor created Edward Scissorhands, but left him tragically unfinished. Two generations of exile have left Edward digging through abandoned experiments, but once he wakes up a creature left buried, he discovers he isn’t the only one missing a vital piece. As Edward tries to fix a grave mistake, he comes face to face with a teenage girl who was sure he was only myth… despite the stories her grandmother told her, about the man she could never touch.” The series is written by Kate Leth and illustrated by Drew Rausch. Issue #1 will be released this October by IDW Publishing.
