About the series
In the gritty, politically charged landscape of 2018, writer and artist Tim Seeley launched Original Hate through 78Squid, a three-issue series that reimagines the superhero origin story through a lens of modern resentment. The story follows a young woman who gains powers from a mysterious source, only to find that her abilities are tied to the very hate and division she seeks to escape. This compact, self-contained tale matters for its sharp commentary on how anger can be weaponized, offering a dark, character-driven take on the genre that resonates with contemporary social tensions.
