I think this was a solid series. It delivers gore and thrills. Since it is a limited series, the story is more straightforward, I did wish there was some more fleshing of the characters and story itself. This would make a cool miniseries or short film.

I wanted this due to the cover looking interesting, however for a 1st issue it was very underwhelming. I found many parts to be boring so I won't be grabbing the 2nd issue. Art work was really nice and neat.

Great Pacing, No stretched dialogue and a bit of foreshadowing. This is going to be one hell of a ride!

This definitely left me wanting more !! I love horror and the comic books are my jam!! I found myself screaming at June for not listening to Liam when he told her to go upstairs and lock herself
In the master bedroom! But you begin to attach yourself to these characters, because Hill has definitely made them human without boring us to death while doing it! I loved Locke and Key Heart Shaped Box, and NOS4A2! so I’m always down to read anything he writes!!

Interesting storyline and nice artwork!



Blurb: This is the story of June Branch, a young woman trapped with four cunning criminals who have snatched her boyfriend for deranged reasons of their own. Now she must fight for her life with the help of an impossible 8th-century Viking axe that can pass through a man’s neck in a single swipe-and leave the severed head still conscious and capable of supernatural speech. Each disembodied head has a malevolent story of its own to tell, and it isn’t long before June finds herself in a desperate struggle to hack through their lies and manipulations...racing to save the man she loves before time runs out.

I've been wanting to read some horror comics for a while. I love the visuals. As soon as I saw Joe Hill I had to grab these. This is the first of 8 and I love it. Will probably binge read these and see what else is out there lol
