Reviews

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hack/Slash Deluxe Vol 4 collects 11 issues of the comic as well as a number of cross-overs. The different stories covered feature Cassie Hack and Vlad as they carve their way through a number of Slashers (reanimated serial killers). There are different art styles throughout the collection, depending upon the tale, something which some readers may find jarring (I personally did not care for the artwork in the Hatchet/Slash crossover). While most of the stories are entertaining, the current story-line involves the return of some villains which the pair has already encountered. Some of these work well, while others feel like retreads. Hopefully the next collection will feature all new villains.

The story begins to droop here, in my opinion. The series reuses a few previous slashers to tell itself and there's some weird plotline with the black lamp society. The standalone runs are good but it definitely falls a bit flat compared to the earlier volumes. Still, it's fun and certain new characters make for an exciting ride.
