It’s been a year since Vlad died and monster hunter Cassie
Hack has spent her time as a bounty hunter catching humans rather than
monsters. She’s alienated herself from
her friends and family as a means to forget about her past. This is where the latest graphic novel Hack/Slash: Son of Samhain begins (from
Image Comics). Creator Tim Seeley steps
away from this series as writer to allow Michael Moreci and Steve Seeley to
take over.
There are new monsters trying to take over the world and
resurrect one of the oldest creatures the universe has ever known. and another
monster hunter by the name of Delroy decides to help Cassie come out of
retirement. It’s not until they join
ranks with a young boy by the name of Ocky, who has his own connections with the
slasher Samhain, that a darker conspiracy arises and it will take all three
working together to overcome the legion of monsters that are on the verge of
taking over the world.
Despite having a new writing team, this is a great way to
bridge the gap between the ending of the last era of Hack/Slash and the new era.
New characters are added to the larger scope of the tale and Cassie Hack
is back in action (and it’s about time).
Artwork is by Emilio Laiso with colors by K. Michael Russell and letters
by Crank! This is a book with a great
look and feel for what will hopefully be many new stories in the series.
This graphic novel also includes the many valiant covers,
sketch artwork of the characters and Moreci’s Pitch/Series Outline which is an
eye opening look into the creation of this new series. Fans of the series have long awaited for the return
of this killer of slashers and this book does not disappoint.
