A collection of the first few Hack/Slash stories put out by Devil’s Due. Hack and Slash follow the adventures of Cassie Hack the daughter of a Slasher (think Michael Meyer) who has dedicated her life to track down and kill Slashers with her partner Vlad, a huge monster of a man who looks very much like a Slasher himself. The three episodes included are “Euthanized,” where Cassie and Vlad take on a Slasher than can control dead animals, “Girls Gone Dead,” which is Spring Break with a nasty slasher, and “Comic Book Carnage.” where famous comic book artists are ending up dead. I sought out Hack/Slash one I had first heard of the premise, I was expecting something that might be Buffy the Vampire Slayer like and was pleasantly surprised to find something that was a fair bit darker but still with the occasional sense of humor. Recommended read. Contains violence.
