Hack Slash the Series 6
Instead of immediately running with the Emily Cristy/Zombie subplot of last issue, Tim Seeley, takes us into a side adventure in this issue as Cassie and Vlad go after Father Wrath. Nothing special about this guy, he's like the villain in Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" - a so-called man of God who hates sin so much he's going to kill all the sinners.
The one thing you should know about this issue is that it's illustrated like an Archie Comic. That's right, Archie comics. So be warned, it's not the usual Hack/Slash. I can imagine some fans feeling cheated about paying for something so "cartoony".
That said, let's go into this issues strengths. I mean strength, singular. The one thing I like about this issue is Vlad being horny. Yup, Vlad goes all horny in Riverdale. The final dialogue panel between Vland and Cassie is tantalizing.
Vlad : Hurr . . . may I tell a secret then?
Cassie : Yeah, sure.
Vlad : I am . . . horny.
Cassie : Goddamit, Vlad.
Cassie says it in such a way that gives me the idea that there is a chance for her and Vlad to get it on. I, for one, would love for that to happen.
