This is one of my all time favorite comic series. For whatever reason, these characters and stories just work. It makes me very happy to see the series continuing.

I was reluctant at first, but Hack Slash Resurrection really grew on me. It was good to see Cat and Dog again too.

Love the comic it'self but as a collector I was upset with the handling as I received it with a bent cover and ripped binding that I had to tape.

Tini Howard has no respect for the source material

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

The parts written by Tini Howard ate painful to read. She had no idea how pacimg works and has no respect for the source material. She saw a character who had been in a lesbian relationship and decided that being a lesbian would be a defining characteristic. Pay no mind to the fact that said relationship took YEARS to build up. No, let's just rush her into a girl-on-girl summer bangfest.
She resurrects Vlad out of nowhere. Just deus ex machinas him back to life.
There's also an obnoxious narration by Cassie.

A Bit of Everything

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019

So, I'm not a very diligent fan of Hack/Slash, although I do get a big kick out of it. Unless you've followed the series closely since the very beginning it's hard to name all of the collections, omnibuses, one-shots, TP's, and reboots that have been published over the years. This is Omnibus 6 and the only thing I'm sure of is that it came after number 5 and will probably be followed by number 7.

So, what do you get here? First off, we get a single issue version of Vlad's origin story, ("Me Without You"). I think Vlad is wildly underappreciated and the tale is both sweet and violent, which figures. No Cassie yet, but a good start.

Next we get a Nailbiter one-shot. It's set in the city that's home to all of the serial killers, but the actual Nailbiter doesn't appear. I'm not a fan of Nailbiter anyway, (the premise just gets stretched too thin), and this seems intended mostly for Nailbiter completists.

The third story introduces Delroy, of whom I am a big fan. The Delroy as Cassie's sidekick tale has always struck me as amongst the wittiest of the Hack/Slash tales, and this one, which is a complete story arc, did not disappoint. This is the "Son of Samhain" series and it has some fine lines, although with a lot of villain monologuing.

Next up is "Resurrection", with issues 1 through 6. This is where the writer switches to Tini Howard. We're at Camp with Cassie, and this is also where lots of readers first discovered Hack/Slash. The plot is a little muddled, but Vlad returns from the dead, so it's all good. The art here is more cartoony than usual, but it actually works and is a nice break from the big monster splashes of "Samhain". It's also loaded with great one-liners.

The Omnibus wraps up with three one-shots. In "Cat & Dog Investigations #7" we check out a creepy mystic along with Cat and Pooch, so this is a nice intro to Cassie's friend Cat. In "Return to Haverhill #8-11", which is three issues long, Cassie reconnects with Laurie from "Resurrection", but it's also a cross-over with Vampirella. The Vamp teases poor innocent Vlad and to me this is one of the best plotted and executed middle-length Hack/Slash stories. Lots going on. Finally, the book ends with "@%ED!", which is about a town in which cursing isn't allowed, and it's as lightweight as you might expect.

So, lots to enjoy here. You see the transition in writers and a wide variety of artists. You get a taste of the Resurrection reboot and revisit some classics. While at first the selections seem random, for the most part they're connected enough to give the book some shape and direction. A nice find. (Please note that I had a chance to read a free ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

As soon as I found out there was a Volume 6 in this Omnibus series, I had to have it. I received the item quickly, and have enjoyed reading it.
