Schitterende reeks. Vooral het Black Lamp Society / Samhain gedeelte steekt heel goed in elkaar in deze collectie.

Het is niet perfect, maar het is wel een verdomd goed einde --waar ik u vanzelfsprekend niets over ga vertellen, gezien ik u het plezier van de vijf, elk zo'n driehonderd pagina's tellende, volumes niet wil ontzeggen.

Vooral de verschillende tekenstijlen, nog veel meer dan gebruikelijk, heb ik de indruk, maken van deze omnibus een zeer geslaagde editie.

Started out so-so but got better towards the end. I prefer my horror a bit more on the serious side but this was an ok read nonetheless.

• this is such a fun idea for a series, I wish more comic readers were familiar with it
• Cassie and Vlad are a great duo, I love the way they're written and the way they play off each other
• I'd like if this series was a little more spooky given its horror themes, but nonetheless, the stories are relatively well written
• the crossovers and returning slashers are a hit or a miss - the Evil Ernie comic, for example, was great, but the Chucky one wasn't so fun; crossovers are all dependant on which character is featured

Honestly, a lot of fun and addictive with lots of gore and monsters to hunt with some nice touching human stories like the platonic relationship between Cassie the stand-offish goth and her sidekick, the simple and loyal Vlad. The biggest downside was the artwork changing drastically deep into it which threw me off for a while. Also, the stories started feeling repetitive, confused, and it didn't have a successful overarching narrative linking the whole thing together for build up and catharsis. I would probably recommend the first half of the series which I enjoyed a lot before it started going downhill from then on.
