HACK/SLASH – Issue #8
Written by Tim Seeley Art by Rebekah Isaacs
Devil’s Due Publishing
Read our interview with writer Tim Seeley here.
I really dislike using clichés, but I find myself laughing out loud when I read Hack/Slash. That’s a good thing because without the humor, the book would lose its charm, and writer Tim Seeley has “Wonka’s Golden Ticket of Humor” stashed in his back pocket when writing these funny books. Most of it comes from his Jason Voorhees inspired, Vlad, and his childish retorts to Cassie’s sarcasm. “She hit you with a bird bath,” Cassie explains to which Vlad replies, “Yes. I hear them singing.” I feel like I’m reading Mad Magazine again, I tell ya. Tim Seeley continues his Tub Club storyline chronicling an all female sorority filled with wannabe lesbians trying to bring about the reign of Elizabeth Bathory along with that Spice Girl, female empowerment good stuff. So back to Cassie, who steps further into her sexuality by finding a hot blonde on campus to interrogate, only to find herself testing ground for a little “college phase lovin”, oh yeah, and then ruins it by thinking of Georgia Peaches. Dangit Tim! It was just about to get NC-17 too! As for Vlad, he’s got a concussion and just trying to stay awake by drinking red bull and playing some more slapjack. This is still my favorite read every month, and it’s great to see Tim keep the art realistic with new series penciller, Rebekah Isaacs. Those two really set up the shot nicely, and I’m amazed at times with how I can see the movement from the characters within the frame. Hack/Slash continues to bring the funny while delivering solid characters and a savory storyline. If only they made chocolate bars of this stuff.

DAMN! I thought once Cloverfield hit theaters all the Cloverfield crap would go away and we could have some peace and quiet for a little while, but NOT YET!

I am not going to spend the rest of the year chasing Robert Englund and Nightmare on Elm Street remake rumors (Read Remake News Here), but I remember way back when they just finished Freddy vs. Jason, Englund stated he was not really interested in doing a bunch of versus movies.

I normally wouldn’t post things like this, but it was fun “infecting” our writer Molly and actress Eliza Swenson’s faces. You can infect your own face at the official Invasion DVD site here. Also don’t act like you never do stupid stuff like this, you all know you wasted plenty of time turning yourselves into South Park and Simpsons characters in the past.

Wow, we used to watch a lot of crap in the 90’s, and I guess Swamp Thing: The Series was part of that category. If you wasted a lot of beautiful Saturday afternoons watching Small Wonder, or Evie Garland on Out of This World, or if you own the Saved by the Bell DVD box set, this may be for you. But be warned, >i>Swamp Thing: The Series is really only for serious crap hunters, because this is truly a test for even the best of us.

After announcing to her fans that she had been undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor, Debbie Rochon was surprised when people kept asking her for it. Being a good sport or in desperate need of money (I’m not sure which) the Scream Queen decided to give them what they wanted, by selling it off piece by piece.

Guillermo del Toro is top shelf when it comes to horror, so much in fact, that he has turned dark fantasy films into commercial hits. It is no wonder that he has been tasked with yet another Harry Potter movie….but this behemoth is taking on Peter Jackson territory now.

Harry Reems plays a no-named Vietnam Vet/rapist/serial killer with PTSD and suffers from flashbacks. Along with that comes his need to make up enemies and kill them as a way to deal with the pain. So, he uses his job at the local gas station to get girls’ addresses. Once he gets their info it’s on to the stalking, raping and finally the slashing. He uses the old “We don’t take cash here, I need a credit card along with your address for verification” bit… amateur.
