Joe Hill's Basketful Of Heads #1 Gets a Second Head…

Published Wed, 20 Nov 2019 11:05:08 -0600

Later today, comic book retailers will be told by DC Comics that the first issue of the Hill House Comics not-an-imprint line from DC Comics, Bastketful Of Heads #1 by Joe Hill and Leomacs, will go to a second printing. And will be whizzing to comic stores faster than usual, out for December 11th.

Leomacs was quite the topic of conversation at Thought Bubble a couple of weeks ago, given that he was discovered by a DC Comics editor at a British comic book convention. Steve Pugh was complaining at Thought Bubble that this sort of thing never happened these days, but Basketful Of Heads is proof that it is still possible.

Here's the solicitation… as we mentioned you will learn more about the comic in the solicitation… than in the comic itself…

BASKETFUL OF HEADS #1 (OF 7) 2ND PTG (MR)
(W) Joe Hill (A) Leomacs (CA) Reiko Murakami
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! In Shops: Dec 11, 2019 SRP: $3.99
