Hell is for children: Cullen Bunn + Joe Bocardo bring ‘Hexiles’ to Mad Cave Studios

A very personal horror story rises from the depths of the underworld this October.

Horror master Cullen Bunn will team with Night Walkers artist Joe Bocardo on The Hexiles, a new series about six children who find out their true lineage just in time for their father’s demonic debtors to come calling.

Mad Cave Studios will publish The Hexiles beginning in October.

As an artist, I couldn’t ask for a better team.”

Each Outer Shadows project will start with a crowdfunding campaign, with plans to release them into the direct market once the campaign is finished.
