This is one of those comics that I think plays well to its audience, but I'm not necessarily the right audience.
However, if you're a fan of slasher flicks? Then this might be right up your alley.

The basic premise is that Cassie Hack and her deformed friend, Vlad, hunt down slashers.
Huh? <--I said when I first read it
Well, apparently slashers are sort of like ghost-zombies of dead killers, and they pretty much play out scenes from horror movies. Cassie's mother was a nutjob who came back to life ...more

4.5 Stars ⭐️. I love this omnibus so damn much! I want to own all of the paperback omnibuses but they are too expensive right now for a broke girl! 😫. Anyhoo, here’s some graphics!

When the title of a comic is Hack/Slash, you have a pretty good idea what you're going to be getting in a story.
I picked up this omnibus edition about a year ago at a small local convention (it turns out the author is from Wisconsin) and really enjoyed it. It's a fun story about a young girl that kills serial killers.
Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Clockwork Orange.
It's fun, violent, humorous, and with just enough of a overarching plot to keep me interested in the overall narrative. I lik ...more

Okay before we begin, why is this listed as erotica on Amazon? I personally got slightly concerned when seeing that (I’m fine with sexual content but want more than that in the things I read, if I wanted porn I would go online and look up porn). Fortunately this is not erotica but I am confused why it’s listed as that. Yes there is some gratuitous fan service but that’s in a lot of comics and if you sit around punching your monkey to the nearly constant blood and dismemberment in this... umm...

Probably only for slasher fans and horny boys that want to see a lot of tits and ass in their comics.
Cassie Hack and her huge and deformed buddy Vlad are hunting down slashers that were killed at some point already but returned from the dead to wreak more havoc. Like Cassie’s mom, who was slaughtering little school girls that were mean to little Cassie before eventually Mommy herself was killed by Cassie. Though that happened in the prequel Hack/Slash: My first Maniac.

Just look at how ridiculous and awesome this cover is. This is the kind of cover that I wouldn’t really carry under my arm in public, and in fact, I was a little embarrassed having it on my bedside table. Still, I couldn’t pass this up after finding out about the book’s concept, and while it’s a bit of a hot mess, I’m glad I gave it a try.

I went into this comic not sure whether I would like it or not. I was a little deterred by the fact that it looks a bit raunchy, but I was also very intrigued by the premise. This has been a comic on my TBR for a number of years and it felt like fate to read it since I found it on a digital comic book platform for free. So, I dived in hoping for the best and I was pleasantly surprised.

Hack/Slash is about as basic as it gets. Imagine all of the slasher flicks you have ever seen in your lifetime. Take a crazy amount of killers, a feisty heroine, her best friend and fierce protector, throw them in a blender and you have this very fun series.
Cassie Hack is the brains. She's a beauty, takes no shit and her sole purpose in life is to rid the world of demented killers. Her disfigured bodyguard with the brawn and a heart of gold provides the muscle. Together, they make the world a be ...more

Take Buffy the Vampire Slayer, give her a goth/suicide girl fashion sense, make her a little more anti-social, replace the vampires with 80s horror movie slashers and you get Hack/Slash, which is probably my favorite comic series ever. It doesn't have the depth of Sandman or any other Vertigo-esque title, it's just a ton of fun to read.

I love Hack/Slash. Abandoning all premise of objectivity, I've got to say this is my favorite independent comic currently ongoing and I suggest everyone go and pick it up. I also suggest people pick up the twenty dollar omnibus for the series and buy them each in turn. I could go on with my needless fanboy-ism but I think you all get the picture. So, instead, I'm going to dial it back and try to objectively talk about the series.

Hack/Slash should be perfect for me. I LOVE horror movies. When I'm not reading I can probably be found watching something gory. I love all the classics and slashers are one of my absolute favorite subgenres. That is what attracted me to this series. I saw that it was supposed to be about a Final Girl going on the hunt for slashers, a branch of the undead, which explains why you can burn a slasher alive and they just come right back. Great concept, I am about it. Unfortunately, the book falls a

I thought this was pretty awesome. If you're a fan of slasher films this should be right up your alley. The premise is Cassie Hack is the "Final Girl", and she has a Frankenstein Monster type assistant by the name of Vlad. The two of them hunt down slashers whenever they pop up. It's sorta like Supernatural if Sam and Dean Winchester were a monster and a really hot chick.
So in this universe Slashers are a type of monster just like a vampire or a werewolf. They live only to kill, nudity and promi ...more

I picked up a library copy of Hack Slash Omnibus Volume 1. Someone had recently returned it, and I couldn’t help but notice the striking cover: a girl, possibly in her late teens to mid-twenties, staring fiercely with her intense blue eyes at something, her shoulder length straight dark brown hair covering her right eye. And yes, she is wearing revealing clothing, but there’s nothing uncomfortably sexual about it (from my subjective perspective) – the girl, whose name is Cassandra Hack, is sitti

Hack Slash omnibus 1 brings together the first nine comics of the series starting with Euthanized, where Vlad and Cassie must battle Bobby, a vengeful, undead slasher with the ability to control dead animals. Bobby was revealed to have been a mentally handicapped veterinary assistant accidentally murdered by the vet's fiancé. This issue has a brief recollection of Cassie's history, daughter of an eccentric dinner lady. Her mother watched as Cassie was bullied through school until she could take

If ever a comic had a very precise target audience, it's Hack/Slash. If you aren't really big into shitty horror movies from the last 30 years, this series will probably leave you scratching your head.

There's occasional hints of humour or parody, but they're hardly enough of a spark to make this an enjoyable meta-ride. In fact, they seem timid somehow, that Seeley isn't really committed to the joke, but wants to try just the same.
Plenty of recurring slashers just like in our favourite horror series, and frequent little sub-plot fragments involving (just barely) the supporting cast. None of it very consequential, just plot fluff that blows away again, like in most weekly tv shows.

World: Many artists and many different takes of Cassie, some are gorgeous, some not so much. The world building is the strongest thing in this book. The characters, the cameos the meta text is all pretty fantastic. I'm not a slasher fan but wow this world is a world I want to spend more time in.
Story: This is indeed slasher Buffy and that's a wonderful thing indeed. The cameos made the basic stories more than what they are. The pacing is basic and expected but yeah it was fun. Some character ...more

This book is either a hit or miss depending on if you like violent comic book action and horror movies. I've read the entire run of the series and I loved it. I found Cassie Hack to be a likable character that grows on you over time. The first Omnibus is a collection of the one shot's that was first used when Hack/Slash came out. Which later went on to become a monthly series as you find out in later volumes.

This is a super fun series that takes my love of slasher movie, hunters of the macabre and supernatural and rolls it's into one neat little package! The main character Cassie Hack is an awesome, super-violent goth chick with a penchant for bashing in the skulls of resident psychopaths. Vlad is her huge and moderately deformed partner who watches her back and provides muscle when needed. Another thing I like about this series is the cameos. Scottie Young, Robert Kirkman, Chucky(Charles Lee Ray),

I can't believe that I just now got into Hack/Slash as it is such a fun book.
I love our main character and her backup ain't so bad himself.
I was so excited reading through this from one issue to the next.
That being said, this is quite the hodgepodge, so not all stories inside are created equal. Most of them are really fun, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Evil Ernie one and some of the shorts were just OK, dropping this down from 5 stars to four.

In Cassie's universe, Slashers are real. Hating all that is good and innocent, these monsters rise from the dead to lay waste to their preferred subset, and the only thing standing in the way is a girl and her giant lumbering friend. Fun and irreverent, violent and bizarre. Plus, I have a soft spot for the goth girls of the comic world.

A really strong start for those into B horror movies, already or making their way into comics. There are so many things to like about this comic: The art, the stories are fun, the characters are basic and stereotypical (as they should be for the genre). This is by far, by far the best part of this comic series. Highly recommended for those of this particular sort.

This is pure fun. Guts, blood, & lovable characters. If you love slasher flicks, or love to hate 'em, read this love letter to them.

I’m not sure exactly what it is that makes horror such a difficult genre to translate into comics with the same emotional impact you can get from books or film. Is it that the comics format makes it nearly impossible for the creators to use the “sudden shock” tool from the horror toolbox, or that the art in many horror comics is just cartoony enough to provide a cushion of safety for the reader? Whatever it is, I’ve found it very rare that a comic book can disturb me on the same level as film or
