Hack/Slash


I was debating if I wanted to do this comic book. I use to read it monthly and then I got broke and then I forget about it. Last week I picked up all five Omnibuses from amazon. Book 1,Book 2,Book 3,Book 4,Book 5 there you go in case you wish to pick it up like always. So moving on the concept which is the reason I truly love this great comic.

 The concept is Miss Hack there is a hunter of what is know to her at least Slasher aka killers that come back from the dead. Meaning horror movie villains what a great fun concept. Too bad it's not written great and fun and that is why it is here. Not saying there is not fun moments in this wonderful comic. But the characters are humanized first and comic second. The great thin is they hurt and you feel their pain and their desires and their wants. This is groundbreaking stuff in a horror comic when it's truly not monster of the week. Other horror comics have done it and I'am sure I'll have some classic up soon to illustrate the growth of the horror comic as a medium. But this is the best modern horror comic I have read since the first 30 days of night.

The characters get  damaged both emotionally and physical and don't get magically healed in two issues. They have to learn to live with what has happened to them and what has been done to them forcefully sometimes. Also it is great about keeping it's cannon in a row meaning I'am halfway through the 4 book and have yet to notice anything that does not mesh with what has come before. This comic yeah it goes to the No No Place but it's a horror comic and if I was going to start listing why we would be here all day. JUST BUY it or READ IT or GET IT, ENJOY IT. I truly love this comic and I shall now go finish it up. No spoilers or even hints at them in this one.
