Rebel Moon: House Of The Bloodaxe is a prequel to the Zack Snyder series, by Magdalene Visaggio and Clark Bint, published by Titan Comics

Rebel Moon: House Of The Bloodaxe is an official prequel to the upcoming two-parter Rebel Moon film series from Zack Snyder for Netflix. Written by Bleeding cool favourite Magdalene Visaggio and drawn by Clark Bint, the comic book series will be published by Titan Comics in January 2024 with covers from Stanley ‘Artgerm’ Lau and Rafael Albuquerque.

In April, Magdalene Visaggio tweeted “Im working this week to wrap up a very involved, incredibly worldbuildy (I invented a language) sci-fi comic script with one of the biggest directors in the world AND writing a TV pilot”. I guess this would be it… she now adds “I wanna say I have LOVED working with Zack. He’s always so excited by every idea. He gave me a pretty free hand on HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE and as I fell in love with the world he created, he fell in love with Shasu, the world *I* created.” And telling us “The planet Shasu, homeworld of Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe, was long the unconquerable world. It’s history goes back almost 10,000 years to when the first wave of settlers took root on the unspoiled scrub world.”

Zack Snyder tweeted, “Excited to announce that the @RebelMoon universe is expanding beyond the screen with a prequel comic series. Issue 1 of REBEL MOON: HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE will be published by @TitanComics on January 10, 2024, and available wherever comics are sold.”

Set 5 years before the events depicted in Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, the comic HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE provides backstory for the characters of Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe, leaders of a band of outlaw revolutionaries (played by Cleopatra Coleman and Ray Fisher), and their formidable family’s history.

As war is looming on the horizon on the planet Shasu, the leader of the Bloodaxe family is conflicted between living up to his father’s domineering legacy and maintaining the peace. It is up to him to settle the conflicts within himself, and his family, before the entire planet erupts in war.

REBEL MOON: HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE is essential reading for anyone who wants to know more about the rich and expansive lore of the REBEL MOON universe. With an original story from Zack Snyder himself, the comic carries the same levels of drama, action, and high emotional stakes that the director is known for.

“I’m excited to collaborate with Mags to explore the rich and complex backstory of the Bloodaxe siblings,” said Zack Snyder. “In REBEL MOON: HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE, fans will get to discover their motivation, as well as the genesis of the rebellion.”

Mags Visaggio, writer behind REBEL MOON: HOUSE OF THE BLOODAXE describes the comic as a ‘Shakespearean tragedy…It’s all extremely personal, a family in conflict with its patriarch who is in conflict with himself at a moment when they need to be united. It’s a story about failure and the consequences of failure.”
