4.0 out of 5 stars Fun stuff., September 5, 2008

This review is from: Hack / Slash Omnibus (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Buy!!!!, May 24, 2009

Do you enjoy horror movies? Do you like hilarious comic books? If you answered yes to either of those, then you must purchase this book. Cassie is smart and funny. Vlad is just as good. The slashers they hunt all have original powers and stories. The art can be hit or miss sometimes (the Evil Ernie plotline is the weak link here), but overall it's more hit than miss. The Omnibus collects the stories before it became a monthly comic, and the extras in this collection are amazing. Overall, this is money well spent for horror or comic fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but might not be for everyone, September 15, 2011

This review is from: Hack / Slash Omnibus (Paperback)

Just like the horror movies it lampoons, this series is cheap, flashy, and strangely addictive. This comic aims hard for the lowest common denominator and for the most part it hits it. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse, but I really enjoyed this comic as a guilty pleasure read. You could probably do a lot better than this comic, but then I don't think Seeley was really aiming for a comic that would make you think.

What really kept this from being as good as it could have been was that it assumed a lot of things. It assumed that not only would the reader be aware of all of the horror cliches (not an unreasonable assumption) but that they'd also be aware of people within the industry. At one point we see a storyline involving several comic book people and not many of them are really all that famous outside their particular circle or group of fans. As a casual reader I didn't really recognize most of them and I just didn't really get the connection that someone else might and it really kept me from getting into the comic as much as I'd have liked during these chapters.

It's still fun and still worth checking out, but for many this will be a library read even if they're a big horror movie fanatic.
