Horror comics are where gender, politics, history, and cultural anxiety collide. Eilís Nolan (Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology) explores how Homestuck and Homestuck: Beyond Canon subvert gendered violence through metanarrative and audience interaction. Mary Helen Clark (Colorado State University) discusses reproductive horror in The Dark Phoenix Saga and House of M, arguing that Marvel narratives frame amplified female power as something requiring containment or erasure. Christina M. Knopf (State University of New York at Cortland) considers how horror comics revisit the American Revolution through Gothic alternative histories that challenge national myths of heroism, identity, and destiny.
