Tits & Ass 2 – Return of the wardrobe malfunctions
(Not the actual title of the book. It could be, though.)
Okay, let’s get this out of the way first.
Will boob windows and upskirts ultimately be the defining feature of these books? Possibly. But they shouldn’t be.
The overabundance of tits and ass in this series slowly has me thinking that they’re just poking fun at the genre. Think about it. When was the last time you saw a slasher flick that didn‘t prominently feature the breasts and/or backside of some young actress?
Later.
Cassie Hack is still kicking the butts of slashers all over the country. And frequently showing us her butt in the process. She’s a very cool heroine. And she’s all scantily-clad. It is what it is.
Heh.
The somewhat self-contained stories that are collected in this second omnibus are still often fun, and instantly forgettable. Here and there they hark back to previous events that I can’t remember, even though I’ve read the first book only five months ago. But it’s not like it’s imperative to follow the plot. The respective stories are simple enough, often gory and sometimes really funny, in a politically incorrect way. I’m fine with that. They are not scary, though. That’s not a feature of this book.
…
…
Where was I?
Ah, right.
There’s more of an overarching plotline now. Or plotlines. As Cassie starts searching for her father, who left her and her psycho mother when she was a little kid. We’ve also got some crazy scientists and the government respectively involved in some research into the revenants (the slashers Cassie is hunting down all have returned from the dead to do some more of their slasher-y stuff). Cassie also develops some feelings for another girl and this impacts her relationship with Vlad.
Vlad may look like a brute. But Cassie’s partner is actually a very sensitive, big-hearted and just all around lovable character. His and Cassie’s development, both individually and also in relation to each other should be the defining feature of this series. And we might be getting there. It was emphasized in this second book and I find this quite encouraging. I’m very interested in how their friendship develops from here on out.
That’s the main reason I’ll likely keep reading these books. Hopefully the slasher stories get a little more interesting as well.
S'pose that's it.
***pre-review musings***
I've just realized that I began my review of the first book by saying that it's "probably only for slasher fans and horny boys that want to see a lot of tits and ass in their comics".

An enjoyable continuation of the series. Essentially "buffy" but instead our MC hunts Revenants, or "slashers." Slasher films are my favourite and this comic embodies all the elements of a slasher film: Full of gore, scares, humour and a sort of meta element that's remincisent of Scream. I will say I think all the "panty flashes" and boob jokes are a little unnecessary, and it gives this series a "dude vibe" that's kind of off-putting.

I first read some of the smaller volumes when this series started and I loved it, and then kind of forgot about it, until I came across this Omnibus at my local comic shop and I snatched it up right away. It was just as fun of a horror/slasher read as I remember, with great art and story lines. I love Cassie and Vlad and their relationship and I like how they are developing as characters. Highly recommend it to any horror fans, especially if you like the slasher sub genre.
