In 2018, \u201cThe Nightmare Before Christmas\u201d<\/em> will be celebrating 25 years of its release. Recently. It was announced that the stop-motion animation adventure will be getting a sequel of some sort but the details were kept deliberately vague.<\/p>\n

Now, Tokyopop, a publisher of anime, manga, and comic-books and its founder Stu Levy has said that it will start publishing the sequel to the movie in a comic-book format, starting May 2018.<\/p>\n

It will be based around Jack Skellington’s ghost dog, Zero, and his adventure around ‘Christmas Town’.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s fetch the sequel, Zero!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Levy, who’s writing the script under the name D.J Milky, revealed the details during a Disney Manga panel at New York Comic Con.<\/p>\n

“What happens is that Zero gets lost, as dogs do,” Levy explained, hinting at what to expect. “And along the way he gets into a lot of trouble, as dogs do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sequel will be in comic book-style, and not as an animated. Named “Zero’s Journey\u201d<\/em>, it’ll be published monthly.<\/p>\n

Levy further added:<\/p>\n

“We’re gonna have 20 issues total, and then just like with a comic, we’re also going to have a trade paperback. We’re gonna have four total trade paperbacks-you guys should all be writing all this down. The first trade paperback will come out next Halloween, so one year from now, the first trade paperback will be available.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The original released in 1993 and though it wasn\u2019t a huge commercial success, became an instant critical darling, and was the first ever animated movie to have been nominated for an Oscar for Visual Effects.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, we\u2019re mighty pumped by the prospect of returning to Christmas Town and Halloween Town.<\/p>\n
