Review:

This is truly for fans of horror movies because that's exactly what this feels like. Cassie Hack former monster slayer has decided to go after a human type of monster as a bounty hunter. But after she tracked down one criminal, she found herself right back in the supernatural world when Delroy, another monster hunter asked for her help.

A group of monsters were rising up and attempting to destroy humans. Cassie and Delroy on a stake out end up having to rescue a boy, October "Ocky", who turned out to be more than he appeared. The three of them set out to stop the amassing army while getting inside information from Delroy's friend Luis who was undercover pretending to be helping the monsters.

There were a few scenes with the monsters and their leader Morinto that slowed the pace of the story but the rest of the story was really good especially the action scenes. Cassie Hack is totally cool and despite all the terrible situations she's been through it hasn't turned her into a horrible person.

The little boy October reminds me of a blond Damian Wayne and I couldn't help noticing the resemblance between the character Luis and actor Danny Trejo.

This was a pretty interesting horror comic that had great artwork. It was full of action and had a good story and characters.
