HACK/SLASH – Issue #9
Written by Tim Seeley Art by Rebekah Isaacs
Devil’s Due Publishing
Though this review may be first, I actually read this issue last to see if I’m some crazy obsessed fanatic to Tim Seeley’s Hack/Slash comic. Nope. This is genuine good stuff. Though the climax is bit convoluted with X-Files characters getting in the way, it’s still a good read for this second story arc featuring hot lesbians and long enduring games of slapjack. I like the bond being strengthened between Cassie and Vlad because that kind of relationship will be tested under the experiences both have had in previous issues. Cassie is now understanding her sexuality a little better and goes with her feelings more, and for Vlad, well, he’s now had “the sex”, and so Cassie is looking a little different in his eyes these days. Can’t blame him either because she’s damn fine in those clothes she straps on around her bodacious bod. It’s the progression though that really grabs me with Seeley’s writing though because he allows the characters to grow. Allows a step forward, and always a step up the ladder. That is how you keep the readers reading. Artist Rebekah Isaacs steps it up a notch, giving more cinematic movement in the panels like previous artist Emily Stone, and the colors by Andrew Dalhouse really shined here making the panels really lively and appealing. Another good set of cards for Seeley and the gang, and here’s looking to more Hack/Slash goodness. Or is it greatness? I say “gooreatness”.

A HORROR YEARBOOK QUICKIE INTERVIEW WITH: Mark Verheiden: My Name is Bruce
I was at the video store this weekend trying rent that damn Invasion movie, but that popular video store that advertises as having “the exclusive videos you want, when you want” seemed to play “hide and go seek” with me. I could see the ladies laughing at me behind the counter on my third consecutive day in, asking like a whiny little ten year old if a movie nobody cared about in theaters was back yet. I bet it was. They probably just enjoyed a grown man crouching below the counter top with watery blue eyes and a sad, sad little frown asking for more “Wachowski, Wachowski, Wachowski!” (Supposedly, The Wachowski Brothers came in and did some reshoots on The Invasion) Nope. Instead they do what they always do: point to the wall and announce like Pirates of the Suburban Peon, “Walk the mile, sucker. Walk the mile.”

“UGH”. No wait. That’s putting it lightly. How bout… “AWWWGGGH Shhhhit No”. Yeah, I think that’s what came out of my mouth for the third time suffering through the schizophrenic catastrophe of The Attic. Or was it the second time? I don’t remember.

I can’t believe I just spent most of this review on the biggest blue-ball explosion in recent years, where boobs would actually increase the likeability of Undead or Alive. I mean, that’s not entirely accurate. There actually ARE boobs shown in the movie: Zombie boobs. And they’re gross…

This week’s spotlight goes to a book that can no longer be kept a secret. It should be known that “The Art” cannot be used to shatter the light nor be used to turn dreams into nightmares. More importantly, it shall not bring the destruction of our world. Instead, it will be the story we will all know when the ground opens up beneath our feet and the dark sea inside is no longer calm..
There are three rules learned in film school.
1.) Stay away from “The Saturday Morning Cartoon” conversation.
2.) Every movie you make will be like three others made before you.
3.) Don’t have your characters talk about other movies…specifically.
