Basketful of Heads

In 2021, DC’s Hill House Comics imprint released Basketful of Heads, a horror series by writer Joe Hill and artist Leomacs. The premise follows a young woman whose summer job at a remote island becomes a nightmare when a legendary Viking axe grants her the ability to decapitate attackers—with the severed heads remaining alive and talkative. Across its single issue, the story blends slasher thrills with dark humor, marking a taut, self-contained entry in the Hill House line. It stands out for its inventive, grisly central gimmick and the sharp, atmospheric art that brings the isolated setting to life.
