Up for grabs is a gorgeous, high-grade variant copy of Basilisk #1 (2021) from BOOM! Studios!
From the New York Times bestselling horror writer Cullen Bunn (celebrated for Harrow County and Bone Parish) and acclaimed interior artist Jonas Scharf, this spine-chilling supernatural horror series delivers a visceral, psychological masterclass. The story revolves around the terrifying mythos of the Chimera—a group of five young people bound together by a cult-like hive mind who wield apocalyptic, supernatural powers tied to the five human senses. Wherever they roam, they leave a wake of horrific death and absolute devastation.
This premier issue follows Regan, a former member of the Chimera, who flees her murderous collective in an attempt to escape the crushing weight of her own guilt, keeping her deadly eyes tightly bound. Her hiding is violently shattered when she is discovered by Hannah, a vengeful survivor of one of the Chimera's historic slaughters. Instead of execution, Hannah forces Regan into an uneasy, blood-soaked pact: track down and dismantle the other four members of her former family. Packed with dark atmospheric tension, brutal stakes, and elite modern comic pacing, this premium variant issue is an essential piece for any modern horror, indie key, or Cullen Bunn enthusiast.
