FIVE-TIME 2023 EISNER AWARD & RUSS MANNING AWARD NOMINEE ZOE THOROGOOD TAKES THE REINS ON UPCOMING HACK/SLASH: BACK TO SCHOOL MINISERIES THIS OCTOBER
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!”
Thorogood added: "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)."
Hack/Slash: Back to School #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 18.
Hack/Slash: Back to School will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
