Key Facts

A young woman wields a bewitched Viking axe against four criminals whose decapitated heads speak to her and continue to endanger the life of the one she loves

🔮 DC Possibilities: James Gunn cut his chops on horror and the genre is winning at the box office so chances are good we’ll see chillers coming from WB, possibly even from the son of Stephen King’s Hill House DC imprint

Synopsis

The rain lashes the grassy dunes of Brody Island, and seagulls scream above the bay. A slender figure in a raincoat carries a large wicker basket, which looks like it might be full of melons... covered by a bloodstained scrap of the American flag. 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.  Plus, in the premiere chapter of the backup story "Sea Dogs," which sails across all the Hill House Comics titles!
