Browsing: Devil’s Due Publishing

When Hack/Slash Annual 2010: Murder Messiah arrives, it will serve as the bridge between the Cassie Hack stories from Devil’s Due Publishing  and the current series at Image Comics. “When we started off at Image, I wanted to give everyone a fresh starting point,” says series creator Tim Seeley. “So, we did Hack/Slash: My First Maniac. But my intent was always to continue with the further adventures of Cassie and Vlad, and this annual will set up a great new status quo for the ongoing series!” Cassie’s biggest “fan” — a serial killer — is on a spree, cleaning up…

Not too long ago, Devil’s Due went through different distribution methods when its Hack/Slash Reanimator book was rejected by Diamond.  Yesterday, Devil’s Due announced it is leaving Diamond and distributing all of its comics through other means including Haven Comic Distributors, which has slowly been snagging distribution deals with other companies. “For almost over a year Devil’s Due has been in an unwinnable situation wherein Diamond garnishes our revenues to pay back returns and fees it claims are owed from 2008 and 2009, making it impossible for us to keep up with payments to talent, printers, and other expenses while…

According to Bloody Disgusting, Stephen Susco has been tapped to write the live-action adaptation of Tim Seeley’s HACK/Slash comic book series. The focus of the series is on a horror victim, Cassie, who strikes back at the monsters, known as “slashers”, with Vlad, a freakish man who frequently wears a gas mask. Susco is no stranger to horror films, as he is also writing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D movie and Butcherhouse Chronicles for Paramount Pictures.  HACK/Slash  is being directed by Fredrik Bond.  While all of this is well and good, the big question is, “who will play Cassie Hack?” …

Gee golly, that’s a lot of blood Tim Seely’s Hack/Slash hits issue 20 and through it all, Cassie Hack and her sidekick Vlad have literally hacked and slashed their way from one end of the country to the next as the duo (and friends) take down slashers in some really gruesome ways.  With the trouble Devil’s Due had with the Reanimator story arc, I’m glad the series was able to make it through the storm, but what of the beloved goth girl and her monster friend?

I really don’t know what to think about trailers for comic books that companies put out.   On the one hand, I dig what people are doing with After Effects and 3D packages – something I’m very familiar with – but on the other, it’s a trailer…for a comic book… without a lot (if any) animation. Devil’s Due Publishing has released its trailer for the upcoming Dawn of the Dread Force for you to check out. Dawn of the Dread Force preview trailer

When it rains, it pours.  First DC had printing issues with All-Star Batman and Robn, and now Devil’s Due Publishing has issues with two upcoming issues of Hack/Slash featuring Herbert West: Re-Animator.  The company sent a press release, but to be honest, I’ve read it a couple of times and it still doesn’t make sense.  It appears Brian Yuzna, the producer and owner of the Re-Animator film franchise, has no problem with what DDP is doing, but some new company called Re-Animator LLC claims it has the rights to the Re-Animator logo and is putting the pressure on Devil’s Due…
