HACK/SLASH RETURNS WITH “SON OF SAMHAIN”
Collection of new story arc for a horror favorite out in January
|
After
Cassie Hack was the lone survivor of the killing spree of a slasher
nicknamed “The Lunch Lady” — who was also Cassie’s mother — she
committed her life to hunting down killers and supernatural evil. She
thought she left that life behind, but in HACK/SLASH: SON OF SAMHAIN,
she’s drawn back into the slasher-fighting life when a cult of monsters
plot to unleash an ancient evil on the world. With the help of a new
partner, Cassie must confront a darkness like she’s never encountered
before — and the darkness in her own life.
Created
by Tim Seeley, the popular HACK/SLASH series debuted in 2004. The
newest chapter of Cassie’s life, SON OF SAMHAIN, written by Michael
Moreci (ROCHE LIMIT, HOAX HUNTERS) and Steve Seeley (HOAX HUNTERS) and
drawn by Emilio Laiso (3 Guns), will appeal to long-time fans as well as
readers just jumping on the series.
“We pick up a few years after the final arc of Tim's series,” Moreci explained in an interview
at Comic Book Resources. “A lot has changed for Cassie, and we're going
to see her in a whole new way. She's older here, more mature, and her
life is shaded by everything she went through and what's happened to her
in the intervening years.”
HACK/SLASH:
SON OF SAMHAIN Volume 1 will be in comic book stores on January 14 and
in bookstores on January 27. It is available for pre-order now.

Praise for HACK/SLASH: SON OF SAMHAIN:
“Son of Samhain is a simple pleasure — an
unpretentious action comic with a strong lead and a Lovecraftian monster
god. If that sounds like your thing, now's as good a time as any to
come aboard.” –John Gholson, Gutters and Panels
