Created by Tim Seeley, Hack/Slash is a long-running comic book series that flips the script on 1980s horror tropes. It follows Cassie Hack, a "Final Girl" who decides to stop running and start hunting. In this universe, the killers from horror movies are known as "Slashers"—supernatural monsters who died filled with intense hatred and returned as nearly unkillable revenants. Cassie’s mission is deeply personal, as she is a survivor of her own horror movie. After being forced to kill her own mother—a lunch lady turned serial killer—to stop a school massacre, she dedicated her life to traveling the country. Alongside her protector Vlad, she hunts down these slashers to end their cycles of violence before they can claim more victims. The series would follow the Original 13 Volumes of the comic and be followed up by another series, Hack/Slash: Death By Sequel, which would follow Son of Samhain and Resurection Volumes 1 & 2.
