Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing...
Simply amazing. If you're a fan of horror cheese, then Hack/Slash is for you! When I say "horror cheese" I'm in no way making fun of the comic. For someone that grew up on classic "H.C." movies (Nightmare on Elm St., Saturday the 13th, Child's Play, and all the GREAT Troma films, this comic was written for me. All the different stories were so enjoyable. I can't wait for the other volumes I ordered to get in!
Highly Recommended



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - good ideas but clunky execution
I have just read the very first TPB of Hack/Slash and though I enjoyed reading it, I did have some issues with the book. The art is good by mainstream comic book standards. However, I disagree with other reviewers that the art is spooky or sinister. The action moves so fast that there is no chance for the artwork to create a spooky ambiance (unlike say 28 days of night). The concept behind the book has promise (a post-modern take on the slasher genre with lots of self-referential comments and humor) but the writing is clunky. As a for instance, the author wants to tell reader about the history of the main character. There are subtle ways to do this and it could have been drawn out(in order to draw the reader in to the story). However, the author just has the buddy of the main character ask her, "so why do you do what you do?" The main character then goes off on a monolog that tells us all we need to know. The background is actually kind of funny, but the way it spills out in the monolog flattens the humour somewhat. Also, the clunkiness of the dialog grates at times. There are other examples of plodding exposition where the material in the exposition could have been delivered in a more interesting way and in a way that didn't upset the flow of the story. The book makes for a fun hour's reading, but it is not a great comic.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - great purchase
this compilation was a great read yesterday at work. really kicked bordom out of the way!
it's three stories together, and each one of them was great (great is thrilling + funny).
I'm waiting for vol. 2 to arrive, and I hope it'll be as good as this one.
buy it.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Fun
A great comic book for horror fans. The books is composed of three main stories, each one is like a miniature slasher movie but with a couple of "slasher slayers" thrown in to the mix to aid the unfortunate targets of these undead serial killers. The idea is very interesting, especially if you're a fan of the 80's style hack and slash horror flicks. The characters are interesting, the artwork is great, there's a good amount of violence in usual slasher movie fashion. If you like horror comics, check this out.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Old Skewl
This is a fun book for fans of 80's slashers. Anyone who is a big horror fan will dig on this. It's generally not overly gruesome or anything, but it does a good job poking good natured fun at the genre.
