At the end of every horror movie, one girl always survives... in this case, Cassie Hack not only survives, she turns the tables by hunting and destroying the horrible slashers that would do harm to the innocent! Alongside the gentle giant known as Vlad, the two cut a bloody path through those who deserve to be put down... hard!

Fun stuff.

This is a good read. Artwork may be hit or miss at times, but enjoyable overall. The characters introduced in this comic are all interesting. The bad guys are quite good, too. Some original takes on old standards.

Amazon has a habit of sending me damaged books, though, so if you like pristine copies, I'd probably just hit the comic book store. I've bought a few comic book volumes from Amazon and every one of them has had smashed corners, which is too bad because you can find good prices on a lot of these things.

Erratic Collection of Pulp-flavored Fun

I really liked the cult feel of this collection. Hack /Slash, as a title, is especially good when it remembers to stay within its core concept Cassie Hack as hunter of B-movie-style serial killers (like "Dexter", I suppose).

A few of the stories - "Girls Gone Dead", "Slice Hard" and the collection of "Trailers" - were great. Campy fun with the genre. Tim Seeley uses his impressive knowledge of B-movie conventions and gives them new twists. The results are fun, silly, bloody and entertaining.

Unfortunately, Seeley strays from the core concept too often. His attempts to add more depth (especially in the egregious "Evil Ernie" cross-over) just come across as lurid and patronizing. Cassie Hack turns from movie heroine to fan-boy exploitation.

At its rare best, Hack/Slash is "Scream", but the rest of the time, it felt like one of the inferior sequels
