Blood, guts and T&A... and not much else. A cheerleader wakes up in Hell and fights her way out with a chainsaw and a whiny Lucifer. None of it makes much sense. Juan Jose Ryp is a great artist but his early work is overly busy, to the point where it's hard to discern what's occurring. He's since learned techniques like weighting the lines of the main characters. Here it often just looks like a panel full of guts and offal.

Blood, guts, T&A, and as cheesy as possible. No more, no less.

Hace muchos años viendo la serie de Héroes se clavó en mi cabeza la frase de salva a la animadora, salva al mundo!
En NANCY IN HELL nos encontramos con una animadora armada con una motosierra atrapada en el Infierno. Pero en esté caso tiene que salvar a Lúcifer del infierno. Y el Infierno es uno de esos infiernos míticos del rock. Hay bares, hay cerveza, hay chicas bailando sobre las mesas. Hay tipos malencarados que fuman, beben y blanden armas automáticas mientras soban a chicas neumáticas. La música la suponemos terriblemente alta. Pero entonces los demonios les atacan. Nancy tendrá que viajar desde los Abismos a hasta las Puertas del Infierno acompañada por Lúcifer, y abriéndose camino por entre todas las criaturas que pueblan este reino. Mientras completan esa especie de viaje de Dante a la inversa,.
Pero como éste cómic es un homenaje a la Serie B, todo ello estará aderezado con almas en pena, muertos vivientes, motosierras, malvadas y libidinosas diablesas y sibilinos demonios. Nancy in Hell es una miniserie de cuatro números.
Sin duda me encantó el FINAL.

I read this back in 2016 and loved it.
Make no mistake it's a t&a comic but that is not all, it's also a horror book.
Great fun, gratuitous bloodshed and crazy monsters any and everywhere you look.
Just a wonderfully gritty stroll through the pit.

I thought I would love this book... but holy shit, there are SO MANY PROBLEMS.
What’s it about?
This girl named Nancy dies and goes to Hell, she however doesn’t think she should be in Hell so Lucifer decides to help her escape.
Pros:
The art style is pretty cool. It’s very reminiscent of cheesy but fun action comic books from the 90s (example: Image’s early comics) so I thought that was cool and very well drawn.
The action scenes are frequent and very well done. If you want to see a girl slash up demons with a chainsaw in extreme gory detail, this book depicts a lot of that.
The horror stuff is fairly well done.
The ending is interesting, good way to lead up to the sequel.
Cons:
The story is stupid. It’s a very typical Supernatural(TV series)-esque plot but edgier which could be fun but in this it’s very poorly executed, mostly because the main point of it seems to be “I’m cool and edgy”.
The characters aren’t interesting. As much as I love horror I will admit many of them (especially in gory, shock value stuff) have bland characters and this is no exception. The main character is basically no personality but snarks at everything and has giant titties, that’s all there seems to be to this character.
The dialogue is pretty bad.
Maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure this is meant to be a comedy but it fails miserably. Throughout this entire thing I laughed once at something in the final issue in this collection so yeah, this comic’s attempts at humor are pretty sad.
This story is very predictable.
This book’s insane amount of plot convenience is just... wow (I don’t mean wow in a good way). You know the way that super unrealistic ridiculous shit just works out for the main character in a lot of superhero films? This is worse than that.
As someone who believes in God but isn’t super religious or easily offended I’ve noticed that when it comes to sacrilegious fiction, there are 2 kinds: well written, mature, entertaining stories that tackle the subject of religion (examples: Garth Ennis’ Preacher or Mike Carey’s Lucifer) or “YOU CAN’T MAKE ME GO TO CHURCH MOM!”, this is the latter. It makes no sense to anybody who has studied the subject for all of 15 minutes. Some stuff I don’t mind like the escaping Hell story or whatever but then it has ridiculous shit like implying that everyone, including Jesus, goes to Hell (yep, it’s that stupid and nonsensical) or when it tries to say “woo-hoo, Hell is a party of no morals” but then goes “oh shit, we’re all sad and tortured by demons, everything’s so fucked up” like... make up your mind. This might be some of the most poorly written commentary I’ve read.
I knew that this book would include fan service but holy shit, this book is just ridiculous about it. Like, the first page of story, we see it in a POV that focuses on Nancy’s crotch as she’s talking. There are also so many pages (as in most of them) where we see angles that show off boobs, butt or crotch while organs and blood are being spilled all over the place in the same fucking picture... just... eww. Also, for some reason Lucifer never wears a shirt, it’s just insane with it!
Overall:
This could have been a really good, fun comic book. It isn’t.
I’m pretty sure that the target audience for this is 11-year olds who want to piss off their religious parents.
Sure the artwork is nice, it has some sweet action and the ending is interesting but it’s a predictable story with boring characters, weak attempts at humor and poorly written commentary that almost just seems like an excuse to talk shit about religion and draw big boobies.
My advice, especially to any kids who just hit puberty and are just interested because of the cover (let’s be honest, there’s a few who look at Goodreads reviews of these books for that reason) is if you’re interested in more mature comics read some well written ones that live up to the title of “mature”. A book like this may be called mature because it has gore, swear words and fan service- all things that I have no problem with- but that’s all there is to it, making it be an immature comic.
2/5

A cheerleader, a chainsaw infused with the power of Hell and oodles and oodles of demons and zombies. You do the math.
"Nancy In Hell" is an adrenalized splatter fest of a book. The main protagonist, former cheerleader Nancy, cuts a swathe across hell wearing an outfit that would make Daisy Duke blush while a weepy version of fallen angel and lord of hell Lucifer follows in her wake and cleans up her sloppy seconds.
Readers who can look beyond the grindhouse plot and copious amounts of oozing gore may notice a deep more nuanced story. Thus, Nancy emerges as a key figure in a power struggle for hell, Lucifer's constant whining about his lack of free will, although irritating, provides food for thought and hell itself emerges as an interesting pastiche of Greco-Roman myths, and Dante and Milton's visions. However, anyone who is just in it for the chain sawing will not be disappointed.
4.5 stars rounded to 4

I'm just gonna get right to it. I loved it.
Why did I love it?
It was cheesy, funny, sexy, gripping, trashy gold.
The artwork was gorgeous, the story was unusual, the girl was hot... It was right up my straza.

Well... I thought I was going to enjoy. Semi Naked girl fighting bad guys... Then enter Lucifer and although it was interesting to see Lucifer in a different way (to be honest it remind the story of Lucifer (the Neil Gaiman / TV Show) and I was a bit disappointing. Grow a pair!
By the ending I was that investing because the tale switch from the girl as main character to almost a side one. I won't be continuing this series from the time being.

It is what it says it is. It’s also incredibly repetitive. If you wanna see anything more than a half naked chick chainsawing men and demon alike for countless pages, don’t bother with this one.

This book is exactly what it presents itself as and I must say I love it. Nancy is the perfect antihero and wait until she meets Lucifer! The version of Lucifer here is off trend and pleasantly original. There's all the gore this horror fan needs to be satisfied, demons, boobs, what else can I say? Nancy is one hell of a book (puns intended).

Not sure why I'm reading horror recently but this was a lot of fun.

This is the first comic that I read in my life and I have had a very pleasant surprise. I loved the art of this comic, the protagonist and the interpretation of Lucifer.

The setting is hell, so the blood is present everywhere. There are some ass shots of the scantily-clad Nancy that are totally gratuitous, but, of couse, greatly appreciated as the artwork is beautiful in a grotesque way. There are many references to religious and mythological creatures, but most of them are presented in a different light than the one we are used to. All in all it's not bad and I'm going to check out the sequel.
Hell is a nasty place where souls end up to be devoured. Some take the easier path and allow this to happen, but others fight until the last second, trying to enjoy the freedom by destroying, drinking and having plenty of sex. Nancy is one of these fighters and uses her trusty chainsaw to escape a bar that is overrun with hell-hounds hungry for souls. She is soon found and saved by Lucifer, whose rebellion, fall and suffering are detailed. His anguish caused the creation of hell, so he is its main power source. He needs a being of free will to escape hell, so he teams up with Nancy. He isn't a bad guy, really, and his torment has weakened his resolve, but Nancy motivates him like only a strong woman can.

Schlocky fun.
The art is good, the story is fun and there are buckets of gore.
I believe this is the staring place for Nancy and am hoping more other adventures make it on to the kindle.

Cheesy, trashy, and just plain fun.

Cuando El Torres y RyP se ponen a trabajar juntos, es lógico que salga adelante una historia de un nivel tan bueno como esta. Terror, gore y humor en su mejor combinación.

Tank Girl meets Army of Darkness meets Supernatural... with more T&A. The character of Lucifer was a little obnoxious, and this certainly won't be winning any feminist awards (holy beaver-shots, Batman!) but I loved every trashy, gorey, boobalicious page.
