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.”
