MAY 21, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce the trade paperback release of THE HEXILES VOL. 1, collecting the complete first arc of Cullen Bunn’s (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun) latest supernatural descent into familial damnation. Brought to life by artist Joe Bocardo (No/One), colorist Manoli Martinez, and letterer El Torres, this fan-favorite series collects the complete first arc!
Six strangers, all broken and burdened, find themselves at the funeral for the father they never knew. Their father sold their souls to Hell on the days they were born. They are now destined to serve demonic masters in spreading chaos and misery.
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.
