Okay so, when I first heard of this comic series I was at Atomic comic's looking for the free posters in the back that they often give away, and while I was chilling towards the back, a comic caught my eye. A super sexy girl in tight panties. Of course I picked it up and looked at it,(I am a guy after all :D) but after a moment of viewing it I realised it was in spanish. I was disapointed to see that, so I left the comic in the back and grabbed my star trek poster and left.
Fast forward >> six months later. It's a good day, rainy, and cold, I went for a visit to my comic book shop and arrive to see it's a sales day. 40% off back issue comics. I begun searching through every stack of back issues till I found a large number of interesting comics when I noticed, "Hack/Slash" stick out the top of a stack. I searched for the lowest number comic and found issue #11 for $5dollars minus the 40%.
Now I started reading the comic with high, but low expectations, I have been wanting to read it for months, kick ass looking art and sexy girls. This being issue #11 would mean I'd have no idea who she is, why she is fighting demons, who the people are, and so on. So I set my mind to a simple level and said to myself, "I'll read this one, and if I like it I will buy the 31 dollar graphic novel, but the chances are slim." Little did I know that the company "DDP" had a rocket of greatness packed away for me.
The comic starts off with a masked man with one eye killing people in very violent ways, we then meet our female lead, Cassie. Cassie(Our hero) searches for information about her father who left her when she was a baby. Now I could go into detail about everything but I won't. I'll just leave it at, She kills demons/murderers.
The art in Hack/Slash is a pale coloring with light sketching, the color puts you right in a dark interesting moods, really draws you in . The detail in the art really stood out to me in an odd way. I found myself studying the art work instead of flipping to the next page, constantly fighting with myself on wanting to get to the next sum of words and seeing the detail on the retarded demon dog.
For some reason I really want to create this demon dog in 3D.
The writing in the comic is amazing. I felt sorrow for the anti-hero, I felt the embarrassment from the demon dog and our hero's horny side. the love hate relationship of the vet assistant and our hero. every moment of the comic feels, solid, just perfect. This is the closest I will get to being able to say "I feel like the fans of the Buffy Comic series." I say that with pure hate for the Buffy comic's and the horrid fans that keep buying them. But it is of the same basic style, a female lead with a horny lust but is scared to be attached to someone for worries of hurting them, and spends every chance possible, she kills monsters/killers.
I couldn't be happier about buying this comic and I greatly await the time when I can buy the graphic novel. 4.5 out of 5 for issue #11.
