comment
Cassie Hack was an ordinary outcast high school nerdgirl until her mother, Delilah, was discovered to be a serial killer (dubbed "The Lunch Lady") who had been murdering the students who had been bullying her daughter. Even worse, after she killed herself she came back from the grave as a "slasher": an undead serial murderer powered by hate and rage and existing only to carry on killing. To make things even worse, Cassie ended up having to personally re-kill her by shooting her several times in the face.Now Cassie wanders the USA, channeling her guilt and pain into hunting down and destroying the other slashers who stalk the nation. And wearing a fine assortment of highly revealing gothwear.Her only friend is Vlad, a hideously deformed but kindly giant whose odd upbringing by a reclusive butcher left him with No Social Skills but excellent meat cleaver moves. Together they kill zombie mass murderers, and the odd deserving living person. Aiding the two is the so-called Hack/Slash, Inc., founded by would-be slasher victims Doctor Lisa Elsten and Chris Krank, which provides info, and whatever resources they can spare.Hack/Slash is a comic series originally published by Devil's Due, and written by Tim Seeley. A series of one-shots and miniseries illustrated by various artists, published between 2004 and 2007, were followed by an ongoing series, illustrated at first by Emily Stone. In early 2010 it was announced that due to Devil's Due's financial difficulties the series would be transferring to Image Comics. During the rest of the year both publishers issued Hack/Slash material: the Devil's Due series continuing until issue #34 while Image produced a "Year One"-style mini-series titled My First Maniac and a few one-shots. The ongoing series restarted from #1 at Image in 2011, and concluded with #25 in 2013.The 2013 crossover book, Army of Darkness vs. Hack/Slash, teams Cassie up with Ash Williams and is set shortly after the end of the Hack/Slash series, with a major emotional arc inspired by the events of the finale. There have also been crossover miniseries with Eva and Vampirella, and a one-shot with Mercy Sparx, although these were less significant to the series' plot.2014 saw the beginning of a new volume, Hack/Slash: Son of Samhain, by Michael Morecci and Steve Seeley, which follows Cassie's attempts to build a new life as a "normal" person. These are subsequently derailed by an old monster-hunter named Delroy, who enlists her to go after a new cult of monsters. The series was cancelled after the first, status-quo-establishing, arc. In 2017, a further revival series began under the title of Hack/Slash: Resurrection, written by Tini Howard, which begins with Cassie in her mid-twenties and is ambiguous as to whether Son of Samhain is still in continuity, though it does reference her Bounty Hunter job there offhand. With that series' conclusion, 2018 and 2019 saw a Crisis Crossover in the form of Hack/Slash vs. Chaos!, again penned by Seeley, and followed by The Crow: Hack/Slash.In 2023, Image released a new miniseries set near the beginning of Cassie's career, Hack/Slash: Back to School, which was written and drawn by Zoe Thorogood, previously known as an art-comics creator but a self-confessed fan.Not to be confused with Hack and Slash (although the stories definitely have that feel to them) or with Hack and Slash.Has both a live-action film and a motion comic ("illustrated film") in Development Hell, with Brea Grant slated as the voice of Cassie in the latter. The unofficial official site can be found here.

Applied Phlebotinum: Black Ambrosia, Akakios' "panacea". Found in the form of black flowers, their nectar burns a black flame. Injecting the nectar into a corpse can return a semblance of life in moderation, but will inevitably cause a Flesh-Eating Zombie. With the use of Alchemy Is Magic, Akakios was able to create Slashers, and the substance can carry through the bloodlines of the living to activate upon death.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Fame Monster arc includes caricatures of Lady Gaga, the Kardashian sisters, and characters from Jersey Shore as victims. And a caricature of Bruno Mars as the slasher. In the final arc, Roderick Fetch is a caricature of Rupert Murdoch and the rock band Ig'nant Mime Squad are Insane Clown Posse. Subverted with Comic Book Carnage, which sees a Slasher stalk Skottie Young, Robert Kirkman, Steve Niles and Messy Stench, and all but one are brutally murdered by him.

Heal It with Booze
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_12eee2cf
comment
Heal It with Booze: In Hack/Slash vs. Chucky, the eponymous killer doll suggests a "voodoo healing remedy" Laura used to deal with the pain of her heavily burned body: booze and painkillers. Vlad uses it due to the "Freaky Friday" Flip, and Cassie does later while being stitched up. Laurie gets Cassie some alcohol to deal with the pain of having a fake vein inserted into her body in the first arc of Resurrection, but due to them being in an argument also wanted to give her a bad hangover with it in the process.

Heroic BSoD: Cassie, after watching her father die, and her mother re-re-die. According to Vlad, she just lays in the back of the van, not moving or cleaning up the blood on her clothes or even speaking or reacting to him at all, for fourteen hours straight. She does get in a hot tub at the hotel they stop at, but just sits there as the blood pools out around her, eyes creepily downcast.

comment
Tamer and Chaster: Despite the on-panel sex scenes, Resurrection has a noticeable reduction in fanservice compared to the original series. It's not so much that Cassie dresses less revealingly as that the angles and framing of panels have much less overt Male Gaze and she, having grown up somewhat, doesn't deal as much with horny teenagers.

comment
Full-Frontal Assault: In Murder/Suicide, D1ab0liq, possessing Fractal, strips off Fractal's top entirely before his final assault against Cassie and Vlad. In this case, it's mostly just to prove how much control he has. Played for Laughs with a demonic man in Hack/Slash/Eva: Monster's Ball. An Enforced Trope in Monster Baiting, when a group of psychosaurs attack Cassie and Samhain soon after they first had sex. This one is a deconstruction, as the naked individuals are woefully underprepared for the attack and are sorely outmatched.

Wild Child: Feral children were used for "Rev-D" experiments in Little Children; it causes them to regress to an extremely feral state, eventually killing their surrogate father and forming an effective wolfpack.

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Pretty much all slashers, due to their brains being screwed up. Samhain appears to be an exception, though only due to conditioning, and Ms. America had moments of lucidity, as she wasn't a "pure" slasher.

 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_22071825
comment
I'm a Humanitarian: The first asylum inmate Evil Ernie kills to "impress" Cassie says he was institutionalized because he ate people, claiming doing so let him "see God". The Beane family say they need to eat human flesh to keep up their strength. It's unknown whether or not regular meat can do the trick ( seeing as Vlad seems to do just fine) or if this is just something that stuck with them due to Sawney Beane. The Beanes seem to have been right. By the time Vlad meets them, he's deathly ill due to the lack of a "proper diet", and it is only the intervention of Dr. Vincent Morrow that allows him to Take a Third Option.

Ironic Echo: Delilah tells Jack Hack what he said about Slashers back to his face: when he looks at them, it makes him want to feel something good. Unfortunately, the speaker, being insane, doesn't understand that "seeing Slashers" and "feeling good" weren't meant to be part of the same thing. First said when about to have sex for the first time with Samhain, then again before stabbing him repeatedly to death twelve issues later when he is Akakios.

The next day, Cassie baits the trio into following her and dishes out a beating of her own to the trio's leader. It's noteworthy that Cassie alone beat up the other girl even worse than the three were able to do to her.

Open Heart Dentistry: Cassie and Vlad usually go to their friend Lisa - who is a veterinary - to get patched up. In her defense, Lisa usually comments that she is not qualified to work on humans, but Cassie and Vlad prefer not to have their injuries treated in hospital.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Cassie might be an Action Girl, but she doesn't have any superhuman abilities usually. As a result, she routinely runs into trouble when she is facing a threat she can't handle physically, and can be caught off guard by as mundane a threat as the police or a group of thuggish cultists, and she can get knocked unconscious with one good solid hit. Although Cassie seems to have achieved an Earn Your Happy Ending at the end of the initial run, she never went into therapy for her many mental problems, including being a Shell-Shocked Veteran with a side of being a literal Sociopathic Hero. As such, she breaks up with Margaret due to being unable to escape the nightmares of her life as a horror hunter. At the end of Resurrection Vol. 1, Cassie is surprised that Laurie wants nothing more to do with her - killing someone's mother, even if she was a villain plotting multiple murder, will do that.

Bad Girl Comic: Shows many of the standard features of the genre but subverts some of them. Cassie is a scantily-clad, cynical '90s Anti-Hero who is usually drawn in a very sexualised way, but contrary to the usual features she's a Badass Normal fighting supernatural bad guys, and her angst and self-doubt are significantly played up compared to the usual cheerful sociopathy of the Bad Girl protagonist.

Gory Discretion Shot: Uncommon, But present. Slice Hard had a particularly cool one involving an X-ray machine when Ashley decapitates a security guard. When Cassie executes the three remaining feral children in Little Children, the focus jumps out to the entire forest, with only the crack of the gunshots shown. The focus is on Cassie's facial expression when Nathan obliterates the head of his wife's murderer with an electrified weed-whacker in The Coldest Dish.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Euthanized, the first story, includes Cassie commenting on common tropes of her story and using her guns effortlessly, sometimes even not bothering to look where she's shooting.

Sex Signals Death
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_506bf16a
comment
Sex Signals Death: Slashers are generally attracted to teenagers engaging in "deviant behavior" — there's easily a dozen ready examples of teens getting offed as they're about to have sex. Naturally, this is because of the trope's ubiquity in 80's slasher movies. This turns out to be a plot point, as Akakios originally created the Slashers, or "Paladins" as he called them, to destroy what he called the "Children of Dionysus", those dedicated to sin and debauchery, in the belief that they would cause an apocalypse.

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Cassie throws her bat to distract a soldier in Tub Club long enough to grab his gun to hold up his superior. Samhain often opts to throw his knife in combat or other situations. Subverted Trope in Entry Wound when an over-caffeinated and over-tired Vlad throws a shovel at the Candlemas Murderer and misses. Cassie shuts up the Big Bad in Final with a hatchet thrown into his shoulder. In the first arc of Resurrection, Laurie is adept enough with her fire axe that she can throw it straight into a zombie's head and avoid Cassie in front of it.

Not What It Looks Like: After interrogating Louis in a bathroom stall, Samhain walks out on his own. It's very clear that the other man assumes they were doing... something, and Samhain doesn't bother to dissuade that notion. Inverted Trope. In the first issue of Final, Cassie is seen about to have a one-night stand with a boy. In any other situation in the comic, this would be a Honey Trap for Vlad to come in and kill the Slasher of the issue. This time, however, she really did just meet a hot guy on the Internet and want to have sex, and is annoyed at his intervention.

No Bisexuals: Averted. Hack/Slash actually has a small gay fan following due to Cassie briefly pursuing a relationship with a stripper named Margaret Crump. It caused them both a bit of soul-searching, but what's broken it off for the time being is Cassie's inability to deal with the notion that the slashers she hunts might show up and kill Margaret. Cassie would later have a deeply bizarre relationship with Samhain.

IntercontinuityCrossover
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_5b351f0d
comment
Intercontinuity Crossover: According to Word of God, Seeley considers all well-known slasher franchises to be set in the same universe. Jason is shown in a flashback, and the Dread drinkers are just Dream demons given a different name by Jeffrey. In My First Maniac, Cassie's initial research into Slashers included reading about "a man who kills in dreams in Ohio", "a masked maniac who terrorizes a small town on Halloween", and "a camp plagued for thirty years by a psycho who won't die". Re-Animator and Child's Play each get a crossover, with the latter even having Chucky directly mention Freddy, Jason, and Michael while declaring himself as better than any of them. And the one-page dream project, Dexter vs. Jason vs. Hack/Slash. The BUMPed arc is a crossover with BUMP, even facing that villain, Edgar Dill. The most recent one had Cassie, after her second run of comics, team up with Ashley Williams. There's also the three-part mini, with Hatchet. Vampirella appeared in both a crossover miniseries, and, shortly afterwards, issues #8-11 of the main Resurrection series.

Virgin-Shaming: Played with in the Shout at the Devil story arc. Hulking and deformed slasher-slayer Vlad has unsurprisingly never "made the sex" with a women before. Unfortunately for him the villain of the story arc has kidnapped his partner/best friend Cassie, and has a special mind control spell that only works on virgins. So a good deal of the arc is Vlad trying to find a woman who will sleep with him so he can go and rescue his friend.

With My Hands Tied: Cassie ends up being pretty effective in her first fight with the Society of the Black Lamp in Closer despite being Bound and Gagged... until the adrenaline wears off and she passes out from the drugs still in her system.

Man on Fire: Cassie sets Laura Lochs on fire with a flaming shot and candle in 'Girls Gone Dead. Cassie kicks one of the feral girls into a fire in Little Children. Cassie kicks Alice on to a campfire in Closer, distracting the other members of the Society of the Black Lamp with this. They put her out, but Samhain finishes the job with her Lamp, apparently a known ritual for the Society for those who fail.

Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Cassie's request for Vlad after being caught without a one-liner when being hit on by two teenage boys in Girls Gone Dead. Played for Laughs when Pooch tells the story of birth on Nef after Chris finds out that Lisa is pregnant. In the last issue of Come Together, Cassie rips off her tattered shirt and gives Marshmallow Hell to Vlad while driving to snap him out of Acid Angel's mind control. When he comes to, she requests he pretend that never happened. He does bring it up at the end of Fame Monster, but she's more bemused than embarrassed.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Tub Club, Cassie's decision to call Georgia/Margaret all of the time instead of spending time with Vlad leads to him wandering off on his own and being hurt when Emily Christy breaks a bird bath over his head. Cassie, feeling extremely guilty about this, demands (briefly) that Georgia never call her again unless it's a Slasher emergency. In Monster Baiting, Cassie and Cat's quest with Samhain to find a cure for his bloodlust ends up turning him back into Akakios when the psychosaurs' Mind Rape removes the mental blocks placed by the witch so long ago. The overall effect is so disastrous that by the end, Cassie requests that Cat not thank her for saving her, since they didn't win.

Psycho Serum: Hate Juice, the fluid made from Slashers that can drive users insane. Furthermore, its original form, Black Ambrosia, which can made Slashers upon the user's death of that of their descendants. Taking just a bit of it through a Superhuman Transfusion made Bomb Queen into an Omnicidal Maniac that she herself was afraid of. A Subverted Trope with Senex-Rev 5, the serum made by Dr. Herbert West combining his own reagent with some kind of substance in Slashers. It doesn't seem to have any negative side effects on its own, and actually seems capable of restoring stability in Slashers... but requires enough doses to make the effects stick, otherwise they degrade back to their psychopathy.

Mind Rape
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_8a4988bb
comment
In Monster Baiting, Cassie and Cat's quest with Samhain to find a cure for his bloodlust ends up turning him back into Akakios when the psychosaurs' Mind Rape removes the mental blocks placed by the witch so long ago. The overall effect is so disastrous that by the end, Cassie requests that Cat not thank her for saving her, since they didn't win.

 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: Each arc has its own art style, especially in the Tim Seeley stories. Issues #6 and #28 are set in Haverhill, a town inspired by Archie Comics. The art shifts into an Archie-like style to represent this. However, at the end of #28, the art shifts back into a more realistic style to represent Haverhill coming down with Cerebus Syndrome. (Oddly enough, this wound up anticipating the more realistic art style in the 2015 reboot of Archie.)

In the Blood: Early issues suggest that becoming a slasher can happen to anyone who is Axe-Crazy enough while alive, but it later turns out that slasherness is hereditary in anybody descended from the original members of the Black Lamps, thanks to the weird effects of the Black Ambrosia drug they abused. (Although since that was 2500 years in the past, the genetic taint has spread quite widely.)

The Brick Joke noted above is a particularly notable example of a nod. Some are more subtle, like a mention in Tub Club of a scar Cassie received from fighting Chucky.

Mundanger: The first ever villain we see Cassie and Vlad take down was the coach of a cheerleading camp who had been murdering campers. He appeared completely normal... aside from him wearing a catcher's mask while killing, for some reason. The second Father Wrath also turned out to be a completely human copycat when first encountered.

Protagonist Journey to Villain: Very narrowly averted. After Vlad dies, Cassie's Roaring Rampage of Revenge takes her beyond the point of reason. She very nearly becomes a living Slasher and kills Cat after killing Akakios, but Pooch injects the panacea antidote into her behind just in time, as Cat was aware it was only a matter of time before Cassie's aggression peaked and she decided to kill everyone in sight.

Single Tear: Drake's reaction to finding Fractal's corpse in Murder/Suicide. Cassie's reaction to Vlad's Anguished Declaration of Love in Sons of Man. Cassie sheds one when she shoots Akakios to get him off of Cat in the finale of Monster Baiting, due to realizing that her lover was truly a monster. When Cassie inadvertently ends up back in time and watches Vlad die a second time she's gobsmacked and sheds one. It quickly turns into outright sobbing, though.

Celibate Hero: Cassie admits in Euthanized that one of the reasons she became a monster hunter is because she's afraid of romance. According to her when discussing it with Georgia in Nef, she feels she is "RAID to cock" and hasn't really ever had any interest in getting with guys that way... resulting in both of them figuring she might be gay. As you know, slashers tend to only die at the hands of a virgin. Becomes a disadvantage in Shout at the Devil, due to Six Sixx and Acid Washed having a song that can brainwash virgins. Loses this altogether after losing her virginity in Monster Baiting to Samhain. Thereafter, she has absolutely no problems with casual sex.

And I Must Scream: The ultimate fate of Martha "Muffy" Jaworski: trapped in a birdcage in her own mind as Ashley Guthrie controls her body.

Hack/Slash/Repeat had Cassie fighting a slasher who wasn't especially strong but had such a massive Healing Factor that she spent sixteen hours trying and failing to kill him. She ended up chaining him up and dropping him to the bottom of a lake, which even Cassie saw as Dirty Business to the point that she wouldn't let Vlad take part.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: In Closer, the Society of the Black Lamp introduce themselves to Cassie by kidnapping her out of police custody on her way to jail before her trial, instead of letting her rot there. Some of them even mention that they should have done that instead. The result is that Samhain rescues her. In a more literal example, the psychosaurs in Monster Baiting accidentally undo Akakios' brainwashing, leading to him returning to power.

Oh, Crap!: Various instances. Cassie completely panics when she realizes that not only is Ashley Guthrie around to let the Slashers loose in Slice Hard, but that he knows exactly where she is due to a Psychic Link. Her immediate response is not an attempt to kill him, but Screw This, I'm Outta Here. The best probably being when Cassie goes to tell the authorities all about slashers, realizing too late she's wanted as a suspect in homicide cases all over the country in Closer. In My First Maniac, Cassie's reaction to seeing that her False Friend is about to hit her with a car when she's about to take out the Monster of the Week. Then there is Cassie realizing that Bomb Queen has come to her universe in Interdimensional Women's Prison Breakout.

Final Girl
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_ad4c74ed
comment
Final Girl: The basic idea for the series came when Tim Seeley, stuck at home one Halloween due to sickness, watched a few horror film marathons and thought, "What if a final girl, after killing the slasher that was after her, went on to hunt down and kill other ones?" Notably, despite the clothing, sailor mouth, and near Blood Knight-ness, Cassie still fits a lot of the Final Girl stereotypes (virgin with no vices, for example). Thanks to Cassie's intervention, several (almost all female) would-be slasher victims survive. She teams up with almost all of them for the final story arc.

The Man Behind the Curtain: In Over the Rainbow, Cassie deliberately mentions this trope in regards to the identity of her Disappeared Dad, and why she's relatively apathetic about looking for him, also partially in a Shout-Out to The Wizard of Oz, toward which she was traveling to a remake of.

 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: In Tub Club, when undercover, Cassie notes of Elizabeth Bathory that before reading about her, she "thought Anne Coulter was a sick bitch". In the Slasher Psychofiles, Cassie notes this of Six Sixx: In Sons of Man, Louis calls the Black Lamp Society "crazier than Scientologists". In The Living Corpse crossover, Cassie, finding the shack supposedly inhabited by The Jersey Devil, says "I swear to God, if there's only some guy in there standing in the corner, I want my money back." Army of Darkness vs. Hack/Slash has one to Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9's coining of "Zompire". In Resurrection #12, the town under a "censorship" spell that bans all sorts of "bad taste" activities is named "Wertham", after Fredric Wertham, notorious post-WWII anti-comic campaigner.

Murder Into Malevolence: A basic part of Slashers. While they are rarely kind, and are often at least somewhat unstable, it takes being murdered for many to come back as Revenant Zombies with a bent toward a Serial Killer. This is an oversimplification. Instead, it's the Black Ambrosia residue in their bloodline that brings them back, and turns them toward being more malicious than most people in the first place.

Resurrected Murderer: The comic is based around Slasher Movie style undead serial killers, or "slashers", with the initial implication that you can come back as a slasher just through being deranged and evil enough. It is eventually revealed that the potential to become a slasher is hereditary in any descendant of the members of the original Classical Greek-era Black Lamp cult, due to the effects on the gene line of the "black ambrosia" drug that they abused.

comment
Fan Disservice: The Betty and Veronica Expy examples go topless in Something's Fishy... only to show that they've mutated into Fish People with gills down their fronts. Cassie spends a few panels completely topless in the first arc of Resurrection, but the most noticeable thing to the reader is the huge wound on her chest due to Dr. Chase starting to do an autopsy on her when she was only feigning unconsciousness. More generally, Celor's artwork in Resurrection tends to depict Cassie as somewhat haggard and scrawny-looking, even at her least stressed.

The Butcher
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_c70907c7
comment
The Butcher: Subverted. In a couple early issues, Vlad mentions he was raised in a basement by "The Butcher," leading readers to believe he shared a similar history to Hack. Turns out "The Butcher" was just a kind, elderly Slavic immigrant who found him as a dumpster baby. Rather than report the abandoned, deformed child and let him be raised in an institution or hospital, he kept Vlad secret and raised him as best he could. Vlad could be considered an example himself; his old nickname "the Meat Man" is certainly in a similar spirit to "the Butcher".

According to Word of God, Seeley considers all well-known slasher franchises to be set in the same universe. Jason is shown in a flashback, and the Dread drinkers are just Dream demons given a different name by Jeffrey. In My First Maniac, Cassie's initial research into Slashers included reading about "a man who kills in dreams in Ohio", "a masked maniac who terrorizes a small town on Halloween", and "a camp plagued for thirty years by a psycho who won't die".

Cerebus Syndrome: Kicks in roughly when the ongoing series begins. While previous arcs were nasty, there was little actual direct harm to the protagonists. The first issue of the first ongoing has her being tortured, which carries on to other issues, examining her many psychological issues in depth. This just goes to better show how nasty her life really is.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Cassie calls out Gertrude for not destroying the Nef guitar in Mind Killer. Margaret's extensive problems with Cassie basically involve her anger over Cassie not only rejecting her, but refusing to admit she loves her at all. This distinction and their extended Unresolved Sexual Tension continues from Sons of Man through Murder Messiah. Cassie calls out Cat (and by extension Chris) for re-starting Hack Slash Inc. in Interdimensional Women's Prison Breakout. Vlad calls out Cassie on her hypocrisy regarding Samhain multiple times, especially considering she Would Hurt a Child if they were a Slasher, but likes to keep Samhain close. Cassie's conscience does this to herself in Son of Samhain over leaving her happy life with Georgia. Laurie's relationship with Cassie ends in Resurrection Vol. 1 with her calling out Cassie on killing her mother.

Cassie might be an Action Girl, but she doesn't have any superhuman abilities usually. As a result, she routinely runs into trouble when she is facing a threat she can't handle physically, and can be caught off guard by as mundane a threat as the police or a group of thuggish cultists, and she can get knocked unconscious with one good solid hit.

Chekhov's Gunman: Doctor White across the entire Emily Christy arc. Mary Shelley Lovecraft, who appears in Entry Wound before meeting Cassie and Vlad in Something's Fishy. Alan Knight, the "Late Knight", becomes much more important in the Super Sidekick Sleepover Slaughter. Cat Curio starts as a One-Shot Character as a little girl in Double Feature, but graduates to the main cast by the time she awakens from her coma.

The Bait: A common tactic for hunting Slashers. Cassie readily admits that she isn't a heroine, she's a Slasher hunter, so she often tricks other innocents into luring out the Slasher of the issue to fight. And that's when she isn't deciding to be the bait herself as a Deliberately Distressed Damsel.

Intoxication Ensues
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_f247d841
comment
Intoxication Ensues: In Double Date, the slasher arranges for the punch at a school dance to be dosed with ecstasy to make the teenagers (especially) horny, so he will have some 'sinners' to murder. Given the story was a parody of Archie Comics, the reactions are hilarious.

comment
Anger Born of Worry: Cassie verbally chews out Margaret in rage over going in to get information on the Tin Woodsman in Over the Rainbow instead of waiting outside like she said she would, but it's obvious that this trope is in play. After a few minutes to calm down, she makes clear she's just worried about her friend maybe getting killed when she isn't there.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Hack/Slash (Comic Book) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Although Cassie seems to have achieved an Earn Your Happy Ending at the end of the initial run, she never went into therapy for her many mental problems, including being a Shell-Shocked Veteran with a side of being a literal Sociopathic Hero. As such, she breaks up with Margaret due to being unable to escape the nightmares of her life as a horror hunter.
