I'm nostalgic for stupid indie (Or Indie like) comics that weren't trying to be anything more than dumb fun. So I will be story timing a few. Starting with Hack Slash.
The premise is basically a mash up of generic slasher films from the 80s but with a fan service MC. It starts getting a bunch of cross overs with the slash films it references.
Came for goth titsStayed because Vlad is best boy
>>153679884I like retard strength characters
Bump
my internet went out. Let's continue
>>153679824>>153679853>>153679889>DanPretty sure that's Ken
Sometimes I think if Hack/Slash was more well known, Cassie would've been requested for Mortal KombatThat said, I'm sick of guest characters I think a one-shot comic with Dead by Daylight could be fun though
Wasn’t there supposed to be a Hack/Slash movie being made? Might be too much of a throwback to really do it justice now though.
>>153680757Yes, it was first announced nearly two decades ago.
Hack/Slash just felt so perfunctory for me.Like going to the movies and seeing an endless parade of slasher or low-budget horror flicks taking up wall space and trailers.
>>153680853Any minute now then. Who would’ve been able to play Cassie?
>>153680753I wonder if this is uncensored anywhere.
Back to continue.
That's it for today. Hope some of you had fun.
>>153682290The art is a lot better than I remember
>>153681715mr President! *salute*
>>153682319The art varies wildly from issue to issue. The first issue is probably the best looking one from what I remember.
That was pretty good, self contained. I am interessted to see if it can keep that kind of quality up.
I love when comics are about having fun.
>>153679824kek is the coach literally me?
>>153679889Same, its really fun to have a slasher hunter>>153679943That sure escalated quickly!
>>153680198Mmmm nice stuff!
>>153680312kek that's hilarious. Also how out of place they both look, I'm surprised police doesn't trouble them
>>153680481kek
>>153680578Nice references
>>153679777I liked this series a lot. Just pure dumb fun. It sort of lost me after Vlad died and it just kept going. You could tell it was really flailing for ideas after that point. I never bothered to pick it back up when he came back since that cheapened the whole thing and felt desperate.
>>153680660Neat fanservice!
>>153680686I knew the cat was going to come back. I hope it manages to finish the job
>>153682265Somehow it looks like that burning girl is gonna come back. At least I hope so
NGL and this isn't an endorsement but Hack/Slash feels like the book Something is Killing the Children was shilled to me as
I really like post-crash comicsThey have a "fuck it we ball" mentality
>>153685557She did once or twice.
>>153687041Awesome!
>>153679777>slutty goth girl in latexYou have my attention
>>153679910>>153679943>>153679980>>153680660I can fix her.
I remember spending a lot of time hunting down the origins issues when I first saw the first issue back in the day, because it felt like a recap of an entire arc I missed. Knowing it isn't the case makes the whole thing feel rushed and slapdash, honestly.
>>153685352You're not missing anything. The Army of Darkness crossover was good, but everything after that has sucked. It's super obvious that Seeley wants to keep milking it but has no idea what the fuck to do besides crossovers.
Here's a complete reading order for those of you who are interested in continuing with this series if you enjoyed this storytime:https://old.reddit.com/r/comicreadingorders/comments/1neavll/tim_seeleys_hackslash_all_publishers_2004present/
>>153689583I heard good things about the Zoe Thorogood mini
>>153689570They eventually did do prequels, a mini for Cassie and a one-shot for Vlad.
>>153687041>>153687224
>>153680590Cassie as a Slasher or Survivor?
>>153691765YES!>>153692467I think the crux of the matter is that there's little difference between her and the slashers she hunts
This is far from up to date, but it still has a lot: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/71gon8b26jnkf/HackSlash
Going to continue the story time.
>>153694299>deranged comic fan kills KirkmanDon't threaten me with a good time.
>>153680343is that fucking Manny Pardo?
I like to think that in an alternate reality this became a flagship cw show in the 2000s and got as big as supernaturalThen had crossovers with supernatural, scooby doo, Riverdale and the like.
>>153694087Awesome, thanks for your efforts, anon!
>>153679777>a Hack/Slash storytime>along with an ongoing Evil Dead storytimeYou better do all of the OP.
>>153679889ENTER VLAD
>>153679943At least she genuinely cared...? Like, unironically she's better than a lot of horror parents for even bothering to try and defend her kid.
>>153680221>>153680239Horrible way to go.
>>153680312Vlad a cute.
>>153680343Sheriff asshole is gonna get himself killed ain't he?
>>153680456Well that didn't last long.
>>153680491At least he realized he was in the wrong. Didn't do him much good though.
>>153680514>>153680523These assholes deserve this. Justice for Bobby.
>>153694907>>153694934RIP Cuckman
>>153680538God, a lot of the Slashers backstories make me feel so terrible for them. Sucks even more once you realize there's literally no way to 'fix' a Slasher other than destroying them.
>>153680696Vlad no!
>>153680742Cute goa-what is it wearing.
>>153681595Even as a hardened killer of monsters, Cassie is still vulnerable to the ol' boyish charm.
>>153681855Seems about right for a typical priest.
>>153681877Poor guy should have known to not follow the scent of crazy.
>>153681890Uhhhhh...
>>153681906Cassie...
>>153682179>IT WAS GOD'S WILL THAT COMPELLED ME TO USE DEMONIC BLOOD MAGIC TO KILL TEENS AFTER MY EX CHEATED ON MEAbsolute fucking woman moment.
>>153682290Thanks OP. Oddly wise and wholesome words from Vlad there.
>>153692467Survivor would be best. Maybe her mom as the Killer. Or perhaps Mary Shelley Lovecraft.
>>153694198>random psycho 'fan'Every time.
>>153694907>>153694934BASED!!!
>>153694775Those smiles are too obviously fake to be trusted.
>>153694907>>153694934Brutal.
>>153694985Poor Vlad ;_;
>>153695032Gross.
>>153695503Vlad is gonna be pissed.
>>153695691It's okay, I can fix her.
>>153695559Is this the one I'm thinking it is?>>153695571No, apparently not.
>>153696312Vlad is unfathomably based.
>>153680927>perfunctoryDescribes most comic books, including most of the "good" ones.
>>153696284No. No you cannot.
That's all for today. Support the official release and all that.
>>153695032I'm sure this would be useful in I Hate Fairyland and one page threads.
>>153691040Then you were lied to. That series was especially dogshit.
>>153696686Thanks
>>153695066what's you doings heres Skiswaard Skwiiself?
>>153695624>kill someone only to bring them back as an undead sex slaveParticularly wretched.
>>153695032When was this comic made?
>>153695917I don't think that's how love works, Ernie.
>>153696053Oh. Damn.
>>153696173I really like the relationship and understanding between Vlad and Cassie. Even when Cassie is losing it or is emotionally compromised because of her mission, Vlad is always there to back her up and console her.
>>153695927Vlad gets a lot of crap thrown his way during the comic run. Particularly when the author feels the need to indulge in the typical 2000ies "lesbian goth girl is hot" thing. I got a sweet spot for Hack/Slash, it's such a product of its times (2000ies) to be incredibly charming. I mean, slasher tropes, Suicide Girls, terrible collabs, early Internet era. It's often so bad to be quite charming. Also, the goddamn alien dog (Pooch) was probably never intended to last as long as it did, but chrissakes he managed to become quite the amusing extra even when his adoptive owners kicked the bucket for ???? reasons.
>>153694198>Messy StenchWho?
>>153700071It's very schlocky, but that's why I love it.
>>153700710Yeah, I had no idea when I first read it and still really don't. I assumed some Z-list actress, but her IMDB page only has four things.
>>153696274Poor guy. He just doesn't get it.
>>153702374I thought only Kirkman was rel and the rest made up for the comic?
>>153702913https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skottie_Younghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Niles
>>153696089does fist of the northstar know yoh stole his outfit, mr gaiman?
>>153696420Fuck off Ernie and leave Vlad alone.
>>153696589He really did love her...
>>153696686Thanks OP.
>>153694087I need a sexy troubled goth girlfriend!
>>153703646Sorry anon, she only has eyes for deformed 6'6'' downies with tard strength.
>>153704179Why even live!
>>153695503You wouldn't a squirrel, would you, Anons?
>>153703646You can find less mentally ill examples than Cassie. But will they be as cool or as moral? Probably not.
>>153695126Is this a meta thing?>>153695667I see Purgatori, who're the others?
>>153679777I miss goths
