DC’s new “House of Mystery” will, like Vertigo, be geared toward adult readers (17+) and will crash onto the horror and comic scene in June with an official prequel to the upcoming entry in the highly successful Conjuring series: The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
Hill takes the time to put the puzzle pieces together (and establish the power dynamics between the characters on the ship) and the hint of the trouble that the Derleth experienced so long ago is sure to be revealed, but you certainly don’t get too much in the first issue, leaving the reader craving more.
The Dollhouse Family (the second title in Joe Hill’s new Hill House Comics line from DC Comics) continues the reemergence of the horror comic in the form of a complex dive into three seeming disparate horror sub-genres including Cthulu-like ancient gods, frightening, abusive relationships, and a ghostly, supernatural dollhouse.
Hill’s reputation in the world of comics (as the writer of one of the greatest horror comics in the history of the medium, Locke and Key) immediately gave the new imprint respectability, along with the promise of numerous, varied horror titles over the next year, including the inaugural entry from Hill House Comics, Hill’s very own Basketful of Heads.
