Head Lopper Returns for Its 10-Year Anniversary
Andrew MacLean’s Head Lopper is back, and it’s coming in hot with an all-new story arc launching this April from Image Comics in an extra-length debut issue that also celebrates the series’ 10-year anniversary. That alone is reason to scream into the fantasy void — but wait, there’s more glorious chaos.
This return arrives loaded with a killer lineup of highly collectible variant covers from a squad of fan-favorite artists including Alex Horley, Jeffrey Alan Love, Dylan Burnett, Jim Rugg, and James Harren. Translation: collectors, fantasy fiends, and cover hunters are about to eat very well.
In Head Lopper (2026) #1, MacLean unleashes his signature blend of kinetic action, dark humor, and savage fantasy energy in full beast-mode. Readers can once again follow Norgal, the monster-slaying brute with the world’s worst travel companion situation, as he hacks through mythic horrors with brutal precision while Agatha, his endlessly chatty severed witch-head companion, keeps the sass flowing every step of the way.
It’s wild. It’s bloody. It’s hilarious. It’s visually electric fantasy madness from one of the most distinct voices in comics. Head Lopper doesn’t just return next month—it kicks the door off the hinges and brings the axe with it. Because in this world, decapitation is absolutely better with company.
