Evil Ernie @ Devils Due In July 2005!!!!! Oh My God!!!!!!!

**Am I evil?** · 18.01.2005, 08:21

The late, lamented Chaos! Comics bad boy Evil Ernie will strike again in
> the killer crossover HACK/SLASH: THE FINAL REVENGE OF EVIL ERNIE. Shipping
> in July from Devil's Due Publishing <http://www.devilsdue.net>, THE FINAL
> REVENGE OF EVIL ERNIE is written by HACK/SLASH creator Tim Seeley and
> drawn by Aadi Salman, the artist of IDW's SILENT HILL: DYING INSIDE.
> HACK/SLASH is a series of 48-page horrific one-shots in which the pretty
> Cassie Hack and her monstrous companion Vlad travel the United States
> vanquishing mass-murdering maniacs. "The FINAL REVENGE OF EVIL ERNIE story
> picks up with Cassie and Vlad doing their cross-country hunt for slashers,
> when they stumble upon a small town in New Jersey where big-breasted
> blonde women are disappearing," Seeley tells Fango. "It of course ends up
> being the work of our buddy Evil Ernie, who, having lost the one woman
> [Lady Death] he ever loved, is trying to replace her with zombie love
> slaves that look like her. Cassie and Vlad try to stop his murderous
> rampage. But when Ernie meets Cassie, they suddenly experience this weird
> mental connection. Ernie sees how much they're alike...and he falls in
> love with her!
> "It's actually the most serious HACK/SLASH story I've done yet, very
> dark," Seeley continues. "I'm focusing on the similarities between Ernie
> and Cassie. They had the same kind of abusive childhood. What turned one
> into a psycho who wants to kill the world, and the other into a hero? It
> also deals quite a bit with this aspect of Ernie where he would do
> horrible things, but it was all in the name of love. He just wanted
> someone to love him. Cassie may not be so different."
> Seeley had the itch to create an epic creepy comic matchup for some time.
> "The crossover came about when I decided I really wanted to set Cassie
> against some pre-established horror characters," he says. "I had read the
> early Chaos! stuff as a kid, so I started looking into having Cass meet
> Evil Ernie. I contacted the good folks at Tales of Wonder.com, who now own
> Ernie, and we met up at [last July's] San Diego Comic-Con. Right off the
> bat we realized we had the same vision of what to do with the character,
> so we waited until the time was right and away we went. I found Aadi
> through a friend and decided he was the man to draw this thing!"
> The way Seeley sees it, each edition of HACK/SLASH serves as its own film,
> which should come as no surprise since the comic is being developed as a
> Hollywood movie. "THE FINAL REVENGE OF EVIL ERNIE would be HACK/SLASH 4 if
> these were movies," the writer says. "HACK/SLASH: COMIC BOOK CARNAGE is
> number 3. COMIC BOOK CARNAGE ships in March, and the Evil Ernie issue will
> follow four months later." -Tony Timpone

Uah, Aadi Salman. Das heisst, man wird in keinster Weise erkennen können, was da gerade auf den Bildern vor sich geht.

Eine Rückkehr hätten wir sicher alle gern. Aber irgendwie fehlt da was. Es scheint so als wäre er in der Story nur noch ein 08/15-Serienkiller, welcher zufälligerweise untot ist. Aber vielleicht haben wir auch nur zu viele schlechte (Crossover-)Erfahrungen gemacht und sind deshalb übervorsichtig.
