Although this title is Hack/Slash Resurrection, I did have the recent good fortune to read Hack/Slash-Vampirella a couple of weeks ago, so this is the second time I have joined their company this month. This new issue is the start of a much heralded "back to basics" approach after a hiatus on the Hack/Slash title so let's see what it had in store.
Off the bat (excuse the pun) I thought that this was a pretty good set up for a series. We meet Cassie Hack living in a trailer park, with her cat, making money off computer game fanboys by playing a Zombie computer game. As Hack alludes to, at least hunting virtual zombies turns a profit. Cassie is a gal after my own heart in the opening to this title - she has peace and quiet, lives alone, works from home, and only needs to venture out when the fancy takes her. In short she enjoys a form of splendid isolation which is just how she wants it. The art from Celor also perfectly conveys the kind of slouchy existence that Cassie is living out.
Sadly, this isolated existence isn't to last too long. When she is interrupted by two zombies knocking on her window, she channels her annoyance at her tranquility being interrupted in a very progressive way through the deployment of her baseball bat. Whether this disturbs her, or whether she is just prone to dreams of her former partner, later that night Cassie has a nightmare featuring Slash who is trying to give her a warning that startles her. While this is going on Dr Ezekial Chase is hard at work at the Englund Correction facility finessing his ressurection fluid, and manages to track down Hack through survelliance, just in time to send further unwanted visitors her way.
All this intrusion leaves Cassie poised and ready to take up a job offer at Camp Indigo as a counselor for young trauma survivors. Luckily when she packed it in to move to the trailer park, she took Neil Young's advice and bought a pick-up. Off she sets in her truck, cat on board, for a new career direction. She gets quite a welcome.
Bits and Pieces
In many ways this is a standard first issue for a new series with an established character. It is, however, elevated by the artwork and the fact that it serves as a very accessible entry point for a character who has quite a developed backstory at this point. All in all it is an enjoyable outing, even if it isn't going to knock your socks off.

It was supposed to be the investment of a lifetime. I had accumulated 182,000 BTC over the years, a fortune that represented decades of hard work, strategic decisions, and a bit of luck. When I was approached by what appeared to be a cutting-edge cryptocurrency investment platform, I was intrigued. The platform promised revolutionary returns through advanced trading algorithms and exclusive market insights. Against my better judgment, I decided to take the risk. Within weeks of transferring my Bitcoin to their platform, the unthinkable happened. The website went offline, the support team vanished, and my funds were gone. I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam, and the weight of my loss was crushing. I felt a mix of anger, regret, and despair. How could I have been so careless? Desperate for a solution, I began researching ways to recover stolen cryptocurrency. That’s when I discovered *Galaxy Ethical Tech*, a company renowned for its expertise in blockchain forensics and ethical recovery services. Their mission was clear: to help victims of crypto scams reclaim what was rightfully theirs. I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech, half-expecting another dead end. But from the very first conversation, their team was different. They listened to my story with empathy, asked detailed questions about the scam, and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. Their confidence gave me a glimmer of hope, but I braced myself for the possibility that my Bitcoin might be gone forever. The team at Galaxy Ethical Tech sprang into action. They explained that while cryptocurrency transactions are often considered irreversible, their advanced blockchain forensic tools could trace the movement of stolen funds across the blockchain. They collaborated with legal experts, cybersecurity specialists, and international law enforcement agencies to track down the scammers. The process was grueling and required immense patience. There were moments when the trail seemed to go cold, but the team at Galaxy Ethical Tech never gave up. They kept me informed every step of the way, providing regular updates and answering all my questions with clarity and professionalism. After months of relentless effort, I received an email that made my heart stop. Galaxy Ethical Tech had successfully traced and recovered my lost Bitcoin. I couldn’t believe it—my 182,000 BTC was back in my wallet. Tears of relief streamed down my face as I read the confirmation. It felt like a miracle. The team didn’t just stop at recovering my funds; they also provided me with invaluable advice on how to secure my digital assets and avoid future scams. They emphasized the importance of using secure wallets, conducting thorough due diligence, and staying vigilant against "too good to be true" investment opportunities. Looking back, I can confidently say that Galaxy Ethical Tech saved me from financial ruin. Their expertise, persistence, and unwavering commitment to ethical practices turned what seemed like an impossible situation into a story of redemption. I will forever be grateful to them for giving me a second chance.
