Blood ties can be hell… THE HEXILES!

Coming this ‘Hell-oween” Mad Cave Studios announces new horror from Cullen Bunn and Joe Bacardo

From the ashes of their father’s sins, a new legacy rises…

Mad Cave Studios is stoked to announce THE HEXILES, a six-issue miniseries written by the renowned Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun, Night Walkers) and celebrated illustrator Joe Bocardo (Night Walkers), This new tale of hellish familial horror promises to captivate readers with its blend of supernatural dread and intense personal drama.

Jamison Kreel is dead. Six of his children from six mothers are attending the funeral of a father they never met. Each of the children possesses a different infernal power. These powers, though, come at a terrible price…a price Jamison Kreel has placed upon the heads of his offspring. And the demonic debtors have come to collect.

“I didn’t really notice it during the writing process,” said Cullen Bunn. “I mean, I did, but this tale of the ultimate dysfunctional family with the ultimate infernal heritage wouldn’t allow me to slow down. In the aftermath, though, while looking through Joe’s gorgeous (and gorgeously sinister) pages, I realized that this is a dark story. Real horror, real dread, drips off these pages. But this is also a story of hope, of standing up for yourself, of rallying against whatever destiny others have cooked up for you. This is a story of raging against the dying of the light. Only, the light isn’t dying. It’s flaring up. And it’s hellfire!”

The Hexiles is a dark tale about destiny, cursed inheritances, and people bound by blood… lots of blood,” said Joe Bocardo. “A horror story that found refuge in a cave of madmen, where they love comics and work with true professionalism, and created by Cullen, a diabolical mind capable of turning the worst nightmares into words and convincing you to stay and live in them. As an artist, I couldn’t ask for a better team.”

Heads up, it’s the perfect combination of Umbrella Academy and Hellblazer.

The Hexiles will be in comic shops Oct. 30th, with Cover B by famed horror artist Tyler Crook (Harrow County).
