The 10 Best Horror Comics You've NEVER Heard About
10. Hack/Slash
The idea of a monster hunter is no stranger to horror comics. It's a fantastic hook for a superhero, since your rogues gallery is basically pre-made for you. But if you want an example of a horror comic that takes that concept about as far as it can go, then you look to Hack/Slash.
Cassie Hack is a woman who hunts "slashers", people who die filled with rage, and come back to life filled with nothing BUT that rage, which causes them to seek out people to murder. When this happened to Cassie's mother, a lunch lady who put all of Cassie's schoolyard bullies into her next stew, Cassie dedicates her life to hunting down slashers everywhere to make sure no one goes through what she did.
What follows is the most fun you're likely to get out of a primarily horror comic. It's a treat for gore hounds, classic horror fans, and anyone who loves to watch a hot goth girl smash a man's head open with a baseball bat like Gallagher with a watermelon.
In other words, anyone with two eyes in their skull.
