At a pivotal moment in her life, former crack-whore Cabra
Cini found a new addiction--voodoo--and from there she crafted a new
vocation--developing her own bastardized version of the dark art to carry out
hits!
Introduced in Visionary Comics’ Digital Visions, Cabra is
back in H!M Comics’ IF-X: Halloween--in which a friend’s Halloween fancy dress
party is meant to be a night off for Ms. Cini--but events prove to be as
eventful and bizarre as any of her assignments!
Written by Sam Johnson (Geek-Girl, Gold Town, The
Almighties) and illustrated by Dan Lauer (Myth, Slam Dunk Kings, Zombie
Highway), Cabra’s lead feature in the comic reveals a new side to her. Johnson
fills us in, “Anyone familiar with Cabra Cini knows she’s a badass; she used to
be in the unfortunate position of being her now-ex pimp’s abused girlfriend,
and having gotten out of that ‘hole’ and found her vocation in life, she’s a
much stronger woman--to the point that she’s feared by any who know her--but
beneath her badass exterior, she is still a human being.”
Johnson continues, “No one has been able to get close to
Cabra since she became the ‘Voodoo Lady’; though she does have physical
‘relations’ (as a former President might say) with her neighbor Jeff…
“Only, Jeff’s fallen for her. He’s been wanting to take
things to the next level--for them to have a real relationship--he’s had this
idea in his head for awhile, and after a couple of drinks at the party, Jeff’s
going to make his move and try and break through the ‘wall’ Cabra’s put up.
However--he may not like what he finds on the other side of it.”
