This is a great little number, for all you Friday 13th, Chucky, Halloween etc etc fans. The female survivor hits back in classic blow for blow style. Cassie Hack and Vlad trail various infamous slashers/serial killers/high school maniacs, with the culmination of The devil doll himself 'Chucky', in a somewhat surprising plot. Beautifully illustrated and good straight "go for it text" keeps the stories fresh and rolling along at a great pace. If you're a fan of slasher/horror flics buy this now. If you're not....well buy it anyway and you may become one. Top class.

Was an ok read but the stores got too weird. I wasn't that impressed with the artwork either. The quality of the book wasn't brilliant either.

One of the greatest horror comics ever.
16 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
Hack/Slash has become a bit of an obsession of mine. Take a snarkier version of Buffy, add a monstrous sidekick with a child's mind, turn them loose in the world of classic slasher films, and add all of the great characters, humor, sex, and violence a horror geek could ask for. You now have this comic. You may give thanks and praises now.
Cassie Hack is instantly among my favorite heroines and over the course of this series becomes one of the better-developed characters in comicdom, which is outstanding considering she's only been with us for five years or so. Being the daughter of an overprotective single mother-turned-slasher, Cassie decides she has nothing to lose and after offing her own mom she takes up hunting the Freddys and Jasons of the world armed only with a baseball bat and a bad attitude. After mistaking a gentle giant/ex-butcher's apprentice Vlad, for a slasher, she finds an ally and Hack/Slash is born. The series has one of the best rogue's galleries out there, and this volume ends with an epic crossover that flips the classic team-up on it's head by having Cassie partner (temporarily) with the legendary slasher Chucky. Yes. THAT Chucky. Two of the best trash-talkers in horror going head-to-head is something to read, man. Also of note is a special "Trailers" issue made up of horror parody trailers starring Cassie and Vlad.
Hack/Slash is simply among the most enjoyable reads out there. Buffy comparisons are inevitable and well-earned. Horror fans will find this to be delightfully violent, gory, and profane, along with being one of the sexier series out there. Not a whole lot not to love. Occasionally inconsistent art (due to rotating artists) is pretty much the only complaint, and it is a very small one. These omnibus releases are indispensable since early Hack/Slash continuity can be a bit hard to follow (although the episodic nature makes the story very easy to jump in and out of) since the series began as a series of graphic novels, miniseries, and standalone issues. This first volume collects all of the awesome prior to the monthly series in one nice big, convenient package at about the cost of a single graphic novel. That is to say if you don't buy this, you are a lesser person because of it. There, I said it. Reading Hack/Slash makes you better than other people. Especially when this omnibus such a steal. Go get some!

THE best comic i have ever read
9 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There is not enough that i can say about this book. Hack/slash has a place in my heart i normally only reserve for chocolate and comfort foods. I found it amazing that the caracters really have a lot of depth to them, and you get pleasantly attached. Not to mention the plot line is always fierce and never lets you down. it always starts at adrenaline-filled action and suspense...and you get pretty funny jokes just about everywhere a long the way.
The artists are awesome, they give Cassie such expression and such unique looks its absolutely genius.
.... and i loved the storyline with Evil Eddie...it was very philosphical...so that rocked my world. Theres nothing better than a powerful anti-heroine type...they take on the roll but dont exactly have super powers...and they have a past just like you full of tough times fitting in at school ...or your mom being a zombie lunchlady that poisons kids and kills them...its all very relatable haha
And its pretty long so you definitely feel very satisfied by the end of it. The only thing i didnt like was that i really wish that who ever drew and colored the first story that the book starts off with had done the entire book. The other artists are okay but i really loved whomever the book started off with.

If you are starving for good horror comics-this is for you!!!!!!!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Amazing. If you are a fan of slasher films or enjoy 70's and 80's horror then do yourself a favor and get this. Coming into this i was actually kind of skeptical but decided to give it a shot because of the rave over it, i was not dissapointed and also you get your money's worth with this mammonth size book. (Over 300 pages) I havent read anymore of the series yet but i plan to check out the second omnibus volume very soon. Go Tim Seeley. Go Image Comics. Cassie VS. Chucky nuff said.
