HACK/SLASH official thread w/ TIM SEELEY

[Young Avenger]

Picked up issue 5 today. Good issue. The nudity at the beginning caught me by surprise. How is Kyle not in jail after gasing Todd? From the police confrontion, it seems to me that the police know about it.

[timseeley]

Thanks for enjoyin' issue 5!
As fer Kyle gassin' Bobby..basically there's no evidence, so there's no conviction. Kyle does mention that Lisa ruined his life, which, as we'll probably see later, Kyle has been tied up in court for months. But, it's also implied that though the cops are aware the Donovan had helped Kyle out of trouble on the past, no one is quite sure WHAT happened in the Bobby case.

Devil's Due solicitations for Jan 08 (images and text)...

[Jeff Bohn]

Just read issue 5 ("Love Stories"), here are my thoughts...

Both covers are awesome! The black/red/white cover of Tim's should definitely pop off the shelf.

Boobs. Never been a fan of actual nudity in comics. Sure, it's a fun idea, but then it's actually there, and then I feel like I have to hide what I'm reading.

Chris and Lisa (with Kyle) - At first I excited for Cassie and Vlad to have a Scooby gang, and was disappointed that they didn't feature in more of the earlier issues. I'm over that now though, this issue made me miss having more Cassie and Vlad.

Cassie and Vlad - good to see Cassie taking care of Vlad and making sacrifices for him. No Vlad-isms this time, always look forward to those. Not sure how much the ring really meant to Cassie, even before the lunch lady incidents her mother didn't seem very nice. Another mention of her father.

David and Emily - Very interested in the Crane Institute and their Revanant studies.

Art was solid throughout the issue, as always. A good characterization issue all the way through!

#5: Good issue. Mostly setup, obviously (I mean, the hero hasn't even heard of the villain for this arc yet), but strong regardless. Chris and Lisa were sweet, in a funny, slightly sly way, and the revenant side of the story played out well, with the whole 'how and why did she change?' mystery.

But the five pages with Cassie... they just blew me away. That was really powerful, bittersweet storytelling right there.

Great art, especially the small touches - loved spotting He-Man and Cringer and Voltron in the opening scene :p

Hey guys!!!

Well...I was having difiiculties finding the time to update Hack/Slash-site but I did it!!! :)

Fortunately my FTP-account got working again because singlehandedly updating 75 pics (and 75 thumbnails) would have killed me :) LOL

Anyway...enjoy: http://hackslash.boomvavavoom.com

I updated every page since "Slice Hard" with a lot of pics AND with all the interviews and reviews (15 in total) I could find!!

So yes...still the most alltogether, information-filled fansite for the amazing HACK/SLASH-franchise!!

PS do not forget to check out the -section and please please please send me more pics if you have any!!! :D

[Fallensbane]

Not much time atm, I just wanted to pop in and say that I absolutely love Hack/Slash. I had to subscribe to all covers recently at my local comic shop as I got sick of choosing between them! ^_^

[boomboom]

LOL

that is one way of solving the neverending dilemma on 'choice'...

Way to go!!!

I especially like the Seeley-covers of late!

In stores this week...

HACK/SLASH VOL 3 TPB: FRIDAY THE 31ST

Collects issues #1-4 of the ongoing series and the HACK/SLASH vs. CHUCKY one-shot!


Back to the solicitations for January, DCBService.com has the HACK/SLASH Omnibus for $17.49!

[Jeff Bohn]

Is there a difference between the 1st and 2nd printings of the First Cut TPB? I like the way the spines on volume 2 and 3 match up, so is the 2nd printing of Vol 1 updated to match those?

[timseeley]

Yeah, the spine on the third trade is a mistake actually. It was supposed to be the cover image.

[boomboom]

hey Tim

Any news on the BUMP-xover?

[timseeley]

Nothing yet on the Bump x-over. I think it might appear in the omnibus..but I'm still not positive.
TIM

[boomboom]

omnibus?
As an extra story?
When it already is sollicited?

That would be strange...I have all the issues so I am not intrested in the Omnibus...but I am intrested in that crossover ...

What a dilemma :)

[timseeley]

Well, we'll try to get the story out in issue form, I promise.I hate making people buy somethng over again. But as of now, I just don't know when we'll do it....
