Hack/Slash #4 by Image Comics. Written by Tim Seeley. Drawn by Daniel Leister. $3.50. Ok, I have forgotten how funny this book can be at times. Vlad is under the control of a female slasher and to get him to snap out of it, Cassie lifts up her shirt and shoves her breasts in his face like doing a "motorboat." LOL, for several panels all you read is Vlad saying breasts.... This issue completes the first story arc and lets you know who Samhain really is. Cassie and Vlad fight the female slasher while they try to get back to their friends that is being attacked by another slasher from her past.å The story continues to be interesting and have fun with the whole horror comic. Tim Seeley continues to produce a good written story that might not be the greatest read in the comic world but delivers more than enough to interest new readers and keep older ones. Daniel Leister again brings his unique art style to the title and helps bring out the characters emotions extremely well. As well as keep the females sexy and the guys really bad ass looking. I am really starting to like the new launch of the title under Image. There are parts that could be better, but as a campy, horror, T 'N A, and interesting title, it is in a league on its own. originally posted by contributor AnOriginalDick

Hack/Slash Issues 1, 2, 3 by Image Comics. Written by Tim Seeley, Drawn by Daniel Leister. $3.50 Ah, the guilty pleasure of horror comics; you take a goth girl that likes to barely wear anything to fight off all types of monsters and team her up with a Jason type friend and you have the concept in a nutshell. In this new relaunch of the title under Image instead of Devil's Due, we find several new characters as well as old favorites. The best of the new bunch is a guy called Samhain, the Pagan word for Halloween. Former hit man for the Black Lamp Society, he now is trying to destroy them with his interesting abilities. Overall the title hasn't changed much over the course of years. Tim Seeley brings his version of classic horror characters, as well as new ones, as the groups villains but, calls them Slashers instead of monsters/serial killers/etc.. Their powers and back stories are interesting to say the least, some even make you feel sorry for the Slasher. The artwork is a good fit for the story and brings to life the sexiness of the main character Cassie Hack and the gruesomeness of Vlad and the the other Slashers. The bloody, brains and entrails flying around as well as the fight scenes marks this as a classic horror comic. But the style and design of it, is well thought out and helps bring all the members of this comics to life. Enough tho, this title might not be for everyone; or might just be a guilty pleasure because of the half-naked female Slashers and Cassie Hack, it's still a original take on the horror genre and well worth a try if you get a chance.
