Jul 24, Myk Pilgrim rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels , horror. Not my favourite of the omnibuses omnibus'? Son of samhain was an interesting development in Cassie's life and as much as the status quo is what we all secretly itch for - I'd have really liked to see more of where Hack Solo went.

The camp tale was a fun throwback to yesteryear slashers, with countless horror references peppered in, Laurie, Dario, Englund - the list goes on. The vampirella story was okay, but so riddled with plot holes Not my favourite of the omnibuses omnibus'? The vampirella story was okay, but so riddled with plot holes that despite the lush art I couldn't quite get into it.

All in, a fun read, but not the best. Jan 24, Brent Ecenbarger rated it liked it Shelves: comics. When we last left off, Cassandra Hack was on her own tracking and killing slashers and her sidekick Vlad was no more. The first story in this omnibus is an origin story for Vlad called "Me Without You" that I thought was pretty great.

It ends up going a Mexican wrestling route that was still in character for both series. Up after that was the "Son of Samhain" miniseries which I'd previously read and reviewed way back in as follows: "The continuing adventures of Cassie Hack sputter a bit in this installment which features both inconsistent art as well as three replacement sidekicks that all fall short of Vlad.

The premise is OK, with the son of Samhain being a cool idea but the bad guys are fairly generic with yet another end of the world scheme. The reappearance of Cat Curio and Pooch was my favorite part. I wasn't a fan of this mini-series, with the actual Resurrection feeling very rushed and undoing a really great storyline that came before it and also finding the art to be below the quality of the rest of the collection.

When the book ends, things have been reset to the status quo with our two characters on the road looking for slashers or other paranormal work again. I never tire of reading about Cassie, Vlad and Pooch. Excellent illustrations. Very highly recommended.

Oct 14, Adrian Bloxham rated it it was ok. A very mixed bag; the good were very good but the bad were awful. Jul 11, Phil Zimmerman rated it it was ok Shelves: borrowed , graphic-novels.

Nothing special here, just finishing out the series.

For the ones interested in who has done what exactly: The writing has all been done by Tim Seeley though. Slasher movies are usually funny or scary or both. The stories are told chronologically as far as I can tell and there are some recurring characters and themes. Though they are still very much self-contained. You could pick up any of those without missing something significant.

Chucky , as that one has been tremendous fun. Evil Ernie. This one looked really interesting and very different from the rest. I liked that style a lot. But I thought the story was rather boring. And most are not even complete. Even though they were fun. This omnibus is free on kindle unlimited at least in Germany.

Though I did. Overall this was wavering around three stars for most of the time. Some stories were average, some were decent and the one with Chucky was really good.

But the moments in which it was really good were few and far between, to be honest. 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. Sure enough the premise is what really one me over.

And despite the fact that Cassie Hack is drawn very promiscuously she is actually more complex of a character as issues progress. The writing seems a bit outdated, especially considering that this omnibus came out a decade ago, which means that the first issue came out well before that. I appreciated the different art styles even though I preferred some over the others and I really liked the cameos.

Despite the scantily clad girls prancing around, Cassie unbeknownst to herself being one of them, it fits into the "Slasher" vibe. I remember watching slasher films as a kid, and girls dressed only in their underwear were always the first to go. So, while I am sure that this aspect of the comic may have been for fan-service it's also not completely out of the genre, so I can accept it. Though with the bounds we have been making in making heroines less However, I do believe that there is also more going on than just half-naked girls.

Like I said I really liked Cassie Hack, she is multidimensional. I like her partnership with Vlad and the connections she makes along her journey. What's really interesting about this book is the fact that it does revolve around Slashers and this idea of "evil never dies".

We also get a deeper look into the recipe for a slasher which was fun. I grew up loving horror movies, but it doesn't mean I wasn't afraid of them it's kind of the point. Having a girl like Cassie Hack is kind of like having that awesome "final girl" and making her more badass. All in all if you have a love of slasher or horror films, you might get a real kick punch, slice, hack out of this one! It doesn't have the depth of Sandman or any other Vertigo-esque title, it's just a ton of fun to read.

Cassie Hack, our main character, is the sole survivor of a massacre by a slasher called the Lunch Lady, who turns out to be her own mother. Delilah Hack only ever wanted to protect her daughter from malicious school bullies, but when the police find out she's the one that's been murdering students, she kills herself, only to come back as the Lunch Lady.

Cassie is then forced to kill her slasherfied mother as she no longer possesses the small amount of restraint she had in life. Afterwards, Cassie vows to journey across the country putting an end to other slashers. Rows: Columns:. Enter the URL for the tweet you want to embed. Creators Carlos Badilla colorist Crank!
