Most of the stuff that annoyed me in the previous volumes didn’t happen as much in this one but unfortunately the plot in this one was boring at times and just wasn’t as good as in the other volumes.
Seems like it’s losing momentum, but this volume was still pretty entertaining.
Following the move to image, Hack/Slash seems to have blossomed. The first story is brilliant, drawing the old into the new and setting the direction of the series. It's dark, tense and tightly kept together by some excellent artwork and dialogue. It's been a while since I read the last collection and it took a little reminding of certain characters and relationships (I'm not too sure how brand new readers would get on at this point). Still, great story. In fact I enjoyed all of the ongoing series stories. There's a definite sense of continuity and a grander underlying event which is being revealed. Something H/S hasn't always had.
The annuals and peripherals are fun though I felt the annual with Victor Crowley was let down by the artwork. There are the obligatory pin-ups at the back and in all it's a great and meaty book. Well worth reading if you aren't already though I might consider starting further back.
Comprises Issues 1-11, annuals 2&3, the 2011 Holiday special and the Zombies vs. Cheerleaders crossover.

Very uneven. I liked the crossover with Victor Crowley because it returned the series to its horror slasher roots. And I have a soft spot for Fantomah because she's an interesting character. But otherwise the series is getting too silly.
I loved this so much! It wrapped up the entire arc nicely, it was heart wrenching, funny, and packed full of action.
Vooral de verschillende tekenstijlen, nog veel meer dan gebruikelijk, heb ik de indruk, maken van deze omnibus een zeer geslaagde editie.

Took me a while to finish this one. Thought it lacked a bit of the pizzazz of the earlier volumes, what with recycling the villains. Still, a great series and I love the interactions between Pooch and anybody.
