Hack/Slash: My First Maniac #1

Cassie Hack stares down the reader from this striking Cover A, bloody baseball bat in hand and a stitched-faced monster already defeated at her feet — a cool, matter-of-fact brutality that defines her character perfectly. The chalked subtitle "My First Maniac" adds a darkly playful touch to Image's horror series, hinting at the origin territory this issue explores. It's a confident, visually arresting opener that makes a strong case for why Hack/Slash has earned its devoted following.
