So Jason’s heart hypnotizes the coroner into eating it and he goes around vomiting the heart into people’s throats to change hosts until he can find and kill the rest of his bloodline.

If you haven’t seen it or don’t remember, Jason Goes to Hell is the movie where the FBI finally decides to do something about Jason and blows him to kingdom come in the first few minutes, onlit turns out that he can’t be killed unless stabbed in the heart by another Voorhees (though the comic keeps spelling it “Vorhees”). By the time any comic company thinks of doing anything with Friday the 13th, we’re already at the ninth movie, which was the last Jason movie for eight years. By this point, the movie franchise was in dire straits. Based on the screenplay, the comic is written by Andy Mangels and drawn by Cynthia Martin. And at that point, readers stopped caring.Īs Kamodious referenced, Jason was at the time starring in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, otherwise known as Friday the 13th Part IX. The angelic Pristine interrupts and calls out how this was a pointless cameo to justify advertising Jason on the cover, which came at the cost of continuing their very story.

Kamodious summons him back where he found him and starts making a blatant reference about Jason going to Hell. Despite only appearing for a couple of pages, Jason says that six times. He summons Jason Voorhees, who proceeds to talk like Rorschach and try to kill anything nearby.Īnyone else find randomly and casually tossing Jason into a superhero universe’s continuity really weird?įrightful and teammate Bluedragon go after Jason, but he responds by throwing them a couple times and saying, “HRMM,” a lot. In the very beginning of this issue, Kamodious gets in an argument with one of his demons Frightful and threatens to replace him. The comic is a comedy about the demonic Odious Kamodious, who has his own team of agents out to create chaos in his name, only they always screw up. It didn’t last long enough to finish and with Satan’s Six, it’s no wonder. Satan’s Six was part of the Secret City Saga, where Topps created a big story using a bunch of leftover Jack Kirby ideas that he never did anything with in the form of several miniseries that intertwined (think Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers). One of the two comics was Satan’s Six #4by Tony Isabella and John Cleary. Two comics came out this month with Jason in them, so it’s hard to say what was his very first appearance.

Topps Comics first picked up the license and Jason’s comic book debut came in July of 1993.
