Take Jessica Jones, Deadpool and Doom Patrol and blend - and you get supernatural gun-for-hire, Cabra Cini!
Live now on Kickstarter is the first collection of the adventures of Cabra Cini - Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman.
Following a number of anthology short stories and also having appeared in the pages of Geek-Girl, cult character Cabra Cini (pronounced ‘Carbra Cheenee’) is graduating to her own Graphic Novel from Source Point Press - and it’s Live on Kickstarter now!
No longer willing to let her boyfriend/pimp treat her like dirt, Cabra Cini got lethal payback with the help of voodoo magik - and liked it. Voodoo became her new addiction and Cabra has cleaned up her act and forged a deadly new vocation…
In the Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman Vol.1 Graphic Novel, we’re introduced to Cabra, her pet werewolf El Hombre Lobo, her friend-with-benefits Geoff; and The Infinite dimension...
Cabra’s creator/writer Sam Johnson (Geek-Girl, The Almighties) describes The Infinite – which Cabra is abusing by using it for her own ends – as ‘Limbo’s crazy cousin, locked away in the attic.’
Johnson fills us in on Cabra’s relationship with the bizarre dimension; “Cabra Cini routinely utilizes her bastardized version of voodoo magik to access The Infinite as a dimensional gateway between where she is and wherever she wants to go. A boon for Cabra in finding her targets. However, The Infinite’s Ruler, The Rook, doesn’t appreciate her abusing his dimension this way, and throws everything he can at her, physically and psychologically, to ‘dissuade’ her from doing so. Cabra’s unfazed by this – despite the damage it’s doing to her.
“Meanwhile,” Johnson continues, “Cabra hasn’t let anyone get close to her in a long time, after what she went through with her ex, and has kept Geoff at arm’s length. But the two have been spending more time together, and Geoff wants to take things to the next level.
“And just as this is happening, insane white supremacist White Out – who, based on urban legend, may or may not be a ghost - is making his presence felt in Cabra’s Detroit neighborhood – offering the upper-classes an opportunity to rid the place of its ‘less desirable elements’... When White Out’s actions impact on Cabra and Geoff, the ‘Voodoo Lady’ gets involved – and things will never be same again for she and her would-be-lover.
“Cabra has broken free of her old life, and is a badass, independent, strong woman,” continues Johnson, before concluding ominously, “With what’s coming her way in her Graphic Novel, she’s going to need to be.”
