Image Comics has announced Hack/Slash is getting a new spinoff Hack/Slash: Back to School. The four-issue series is written and drawn by Zoe Thorogood. Fans can purchase the first issue in comic shops on October 18.
“I love the bizarre crossroads of disturbed/sexy/gory/sentimental that Hack/Slash sits at. It’s a series of endless absurd possibilities and it’s been a real joy to put my spin on it (in the form of a monster hunting school for girls with mommy issues).”
So what’s Hack/Slash: Back to School about?
Hack/Slash returns with an untold tale! Slasher hunter Cassie Hack is only just getting used to her man-monster partner, Vlad, when she’s drawn into a new case involving a murderous bunny mascot, dead kids, and an entire squad of maladjusted teenage serial-killer hunters. Hack/Slash: Back to School #1 begins a completely new chapter in the beloved, long-running series that’s perfect for new readers and old fans alike, just in time for Halloween.
“I’ve been a fan of Zoe’s work since I first saw her comics on instagram,” said Seeley.
“The fact that she’s not only an old school fan of Hack/Slash, but had some big ideas for Cassie and Vlad makes co-creator Stefano Caselli and I proud as can be. She’s going to roll right out of the Eisner awards and tell the untold tales of our sexy slasher dramedy just in time for the 20th anniversary!”
