Comics Read 12/01-17/2024

Over this tight period of time I read Refrigerator Full of Heads written by Rio Youers, pencils by Tom Fowlers, inks by Fowler and Craig A.Taillefer and colors by Bill Crabtree. This is a sequel to Basket Full of Heads, which I read and reviewed earlier. Basket Full of Heads was one of the most fun parts of the Hill House comics releases, so of course I had to read the sequel, even though none of the creative team was returning. ( The original team was writer Joe Hill, artists Leomacs and colors by Dave Stewart.) 

The comic was pretty much what I wanted out of something that was a sequel and titled refrigerator full of heads. It has is bigger gorier and has a lot more mythology stuff going on than the original. The original closely followed the character of June, and she appears here too, but it follows some new characters more closely.

As in the previous series, most of the action takes place in a New England Beach town called Brody Island. The severed heads are courtesy of a ax from ancient Nordic. Time with magical properties. This book brings in other Nordic magical artifacts. In fact, the plot is set off by a biker gang stealing the other artifacts before looking for the ax which was left at the bottom of the bay in the end of basket full of heads. A couple, Arlene Fields and Calvin Beringer (who are not what they seem) find the ax first. And their first test of the act comes with decapitating a shark. So for most of the comic book, there is a giant decapitated shark head munching along. This is used for comedic and threatening effect effect. Basket Full of Heads plot was about June realizing that she’s gotten herself stuck in a lot of other people’s conspiracies and paranoia. Refrigerator Full of Heads is comes from the outside of a conspiracy, seeking justice in the most destructive way possible.

I have not re-read Basket Full of Heads, So I can’t comment on on the art continuity, other than pointing out how different the ax looks on the the covers of the respective collections. I did like Tom Fowler’s art. It kept the story moving and was clear about how the action was going down. There were only a couple of times I had to double check what was going on between panels. The coloring switches to a red hue whenever the Nordic magic is most active. I don’t remember if this were in the original, but it’s fine here. As there are more Nordic magical weapons, it makes sense to highlight their action. It’s fun, I don’t want analyze it too much.
