Image Acquires Hack/Slash Series
Source: Shock Till You Drop
March 13, 2010
Tim Seeley and Image Comics announced today during Emerald City ComiCon that the "Hack/Slash" series is now exclusive to Image.
"Hack/Slash: My First Maniac," an all-new four-issue miniseries written by Tim Seeley and illustrated by Daniel Leister, will be the inaugural launch for "Hack/Slash" at Image.
"My little creator owned book is making the move to the biggest creator owned comic company!" exclaims creator Seeley. "The move is sanctioned by Devil's Due Publishing, and Josh Blaylock has been helping me with the transition. June will see the release of the first issue of Hack/Slash: My First Maniac, which is set in Cassie's past and is the perfect tale for new readers as well as those who've been following the book for several years. And, best of all, my crack creative team of artist Dan Leister, colorist Mark Englert, editor Jim Lowder and letterer Crank! are coming with me to Image-Land."
At the end of every horror movie, one girl always survives. In "Hack/Slash," Cassie Hack not only survives, she turns the tables by hunting and destroying the slashers that would harm the innocent! Alongside the gentle giant known as Vlad, the two cut a bloody path through those who deserve to be put down...hard!
"Hack/Slash: My First Maniac" explores Cassie's first case. 16-year-old Cassie Hack has just been forced to kill her mother, the undead murderer known as the Lunch Lady. Now faced with overwhelming guilt, she must decide if she can make a life with her foster parents or use her new-found slasher killing skills to save other screaming teenagers. But does the apple fall far from the tree?
"Hack/Slash: My First Maniac" #1, a 32-page full color comic book for $3.50, will be in stores June 9, 2010.
Congrats, Tim!

I think this is the best idea for this book. Image is best at what they do. Plus im sure there are many great artist that want to get there hands on this book.
Now if they can aquire the rights to Evil Ernie and the rest of the chaos universe that would be awesome. DDP didnt seem to do well with EE.
