"You should not
dis internet boobies, yes?" - Vlad
Cassie
Hack and the Suicide Girls go together like mud and
naked women wrestling. It's a perfect fit. Tim
Seely's quasi-Gothic angst ridden monster hunter has
finally come across the group of Suicide Girls,
alternative, punk rock web models who are absolutely
beautiful and popular among enthusiasts of tasteful
erotica. This cross promotional stint has been
rather entertaining and "Murder Suicide" is no
exception. At thirty seven pages, "Murder Suicide"
is the right balance of comedy, horror, and
memorable innovation that has made me a big fan of
this franchise since it started. Suicide Girl Nixon
is involved romantically with the self-important
artist savant Ian, a writer planning to take the
internet by storm with his manifesto about humanity,
and he's killed to get where he wants to be. After
Nixon puts a stop to his plans with the police, Ian
goes after the Suicide Girls blaming them for
putting the kibosh on his scheme. Cue Cassie. And a
bunch of gorgeous Suicide Girls. There's Missy, and
Salome, and the one and only Fractal! She looks just
as good on page as she does in the flesh. But Ian
has returned as slasher in the form of an electric
being and his possession has triggered a series of
suicides that peaks the Hack/Slash crew's interests.
Thankfully, Cassie is no longer the Clint Eastwood
wannabe we saw in her series, as she is now the
unsure young monster hunter still struggling with
her sexuality. The purpose behind the Suicide Girls
is perfectly realized as their website is being used
as a hunting ground for Slasher Ian possessing the
women, and Cassie becomes the bait thanks to Chris,
who sets her up with them while begging to know if
there are naked women walking around the HQ. It's a
hilarious instance that perfectly reflects almost
any red blooded man's fascination with the website.
Chris is a great supporting character and his part
in the story is some very funny stuff to read.
