A crossover of Dynamite Productions' Eva and Image Comics' Hack Slash… not really worth the time and effort. Praetorious and Mary Shelley Lovecraft team-up. 4 out of 12, Two Stars I wish I could get the time wasted reading this back.

2013 read

This book bounces back and fourth. No idea of what’s going on. And you might need 7 pairs of glasses to read what’s going on

Cassie Hack and her sidekick Vlad join forces with Eva and her sidekick Micheal (Frankenstein's Monster) to stop an evil scientist and Mary Shelly Lovecraft. Add some help from a vigilante group in Detroit and all kinds of deformed monsters to fight and here is a great trade paperback.

The story is quick with lots of action. The art work wonderful. A small complaint is that Cassie and Eva look a lot alike except for their clothes. However, the character art is so well done that this does not distract from the story.

Highly recommended for Hack/Slash and horror fans.

This might be one of the most bombastic books I've ever read. For the four issues this series ran, it hits hard and boldly. Some of that boldness doesn't ever pay out. The narrative packs some awkward pairing. The first two issues have a beautiful steady pace to them. While its latter two books throw everything at you and somehow manage to leave you empty by the time you reach the final page of the book. The art is fine and feels generic in terms of comics. The usage of Frankenstein really gives this book potential that it never really achieves otherwise.

Fue algo. Pero no llegó a tocarme luego de intentarlo tanto. Muchas veces me tuve que detener a preguntarme cómo sucede algo sin que previamente se explique. Un no.

I'm very familiar with H/S, but know nothing about Eva. From this volume, I'm surmising that Eva and her partner are basically a few-centuries-old, religious version of H/S? It seems like an unnecessary rip-off, but I have no idea which came first.

Anyway, this is alright, but there's nothing really fantastic in it. Maybe if you already like Eva? As a fan of H/S, I found it lackluster.

Wow, I didn't know what I was getting into when I downloaded this through the Dynamite Comics Humble Bundle. Truly awful, poorly done comics.
