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

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."Adds

apple fall far from the tree? A perfect jumping-on point for new
