Hack/Slash: My First Maniac

Hack/Slash: My First Maniac (2010, Image) is a one-shot that rewinds the clock on Cassie Hack's monster-hunting career, showing the very first slasher she ever faced. Written and drawn by series creator Tim Seeley, this issue offers a standalone glimpse into the origin of her bloody, horror-comedy world. It matters as a compact, creator-driven entry point to the longer-running Hack/Slash saga.
