Hack/Slash: Back to School #2

Zoe Thorogood brings her singular vision to Hack/Slash: Back to School #2, and the cover alone makes a striking statement — a blood-spattered blonde in a "Hunters for Hire" cheerleader uniform holds a gore-tipped knife with casual confidence, pom-pom in hand, set against school lockers and a burst of rainbow sparkles that make the contrast deliciously unsettling. It's a cover that perfectly captures the series' blend of horror and irreverent pop energy, rendered entirely by Thorogood (with colors by Sarah Mitrache). From the creator of It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, this 2023 Image Comics release channels that same sharp, personal artistic voice into something wonderfully strange and fun.
