Battleaxes

In the early 2000s, DC Comics published this four-issue miniseries by writer Terry LaBan and artist Alex Horley, a gritty fantasy tale set in a medieval world of warring clans and supernatural forces. The story follows a band of fierce female warriors—the titular Battleaxes—as they navigate betrayal, magic, and brutal combat in a land ruled by iron and sorcery. While brief, the series stands out for Horley’s lush, painted artwork and LaBan’s character-driven plotting, offering a self-contained saga that blends sword-and-sorcery with a modern comic sensibility.
