Been reading this comic on and off. It's good, gory and some of the story lines are more fun than others. The graphics change depending on the story. Didn't finish because there is A LOT OF STORIES but may return someday and catch up on others.

It's just super meh - I wanted so much more than this story and character can give me. Great premise though I would be interested in an updated version of this perhaps?

OOOOOOOoooh-hoooo-hoooo-hoooo. So dirty and terrible and violent and excellent!! Sexy and scary and serial killers galore. Really fun, but keep it away from the kiddies!

Here's the deal. I really, really love Cassandra Hack and Vlad. I think they are awesome. If I ever face a slasher, I'd want Cassie and Vlad fighting by my side. Because of my admiration for the female lead, I find the crotch shots and suggestive poses tedious and those panels pull me out of the story. I already know I'm reading about a scantily clad, teenage, goth girl in a horror comic. Must it be reinforced with those truly objectifying panels? Sigh.
Plus, all books containing images of viscous sharks should be marked on the cover! Those with shark phobias would really appreciate it : )

I really like this series, but a lot of the art in this book is just not up to par. Cassie Hack has always been somewhat sexy, but the cartoony cheesecake art of the latter 1/3 of the book just reminds me of Josh Howard's less-interesting Hack/Slash type book, which was all about pixie cute girls in the Dini/Timm mode, and Hack has generally been more interesting than that.

Does anyone else think it's weird that you would spell this name like "Hack slash Slash"?

I went into this comic not sure whether I would like it or not. I was a little deterred by the fact that it looks a bit raunchy, but I was also very intrigued by the premise. This has been a comic on my TBR for a number of years and it felt like fate to read it since I found it on a digital comic book platform for free. So, I dived in hoping for the best and I was pleasantly surprised.
Sure enough the premise is what really one me over. And despite the fact that Cassie Hack is drawn very promiscuously she is actually more complex of a character as issues progress. The writing seems a bit outdated, especially considering that this omnibus came out a decade ago, which means that the first issue came out well before that. I appreciated the different art styles even though I preferred some over the others and I really liked the cameos.
Despite the scantily clad girls prancing around, Cassie unbeknownst to herself being one of them, it fits into the "Slasher" vibe. I remember watching slasher films as a kid, and girls dressed only in their underwear were always the first to go. So, while I am sure that this aspect of the comic may have been for fan-service it's also not completely out of the genre, so I can accept it. Though with the bounds we have been making in making heroines less... well naked, I think if this series were ever to get revived we would need to see a different Cassie Hack.
However, I do believe that there is also more going on than just half-naked girls. Like I said I really liked Cassie Hack, she is multidimensional. I like her partnership with Vlad and the connections she makes along her journey. What's really interesting about this book is the fact that it does revolve around Slashers and this idea of "evil never dies". We also get a deeper look into the recipe for a slasher which was fun. I grew up loving horror movies, but it doesn't mean I wasn't afraid of them (it's kind of the point). Having a girl like Cassie Hack is kind of like having that awesome "final girl" and making her more badass.
All in all if you have a love of slasher or horror films, you might get a real kick (punch, slice, hack) out of this one!
