Now someone wants them dead, and the killer knows how to make a gory mess out of Spandex-clad sidekick wannabes! It’s teen supers meets teen slayer in Super Sidekick Sleepover Slaughter part 1!”
Artwork: 3.5 out of 5.0
This is a nice looking comic book. While I found somethings to be unappealing it was very nice for the most part. I didn’t think that the main characters held their looks throughout the book. By that I mean at times they seemed awkward. Aside from that I loved the look of the superheroes and the murder scenes. The coloring as great and I felt it is what brought everything together.

Story: 3.5 out of 5.0
Most people who know me know that I am not a follower of this series. It’s not that I think it’s a bad series, just something I never got into. So every now and then I dip my eyes and mind back into an issue to see what’s going on and if I might be able to jump on board. I felt that the story here was alright, I liked the explanation of the heroes and how they get their powers, but still there was nothing to hook me in. The dialogue was good between the cast and I think I can easily say that fans of the book should like the start to this arc.
Dying Breath: 3.5 out of 5.0
So good art and story can be found here in the newest Hack/Slash story arc. I like the superhero twist it is taking but I kind of wonder how well the genre crossover will play out. While I am still not 100% on board I do think I will take another shot when Hack/Slash restarts with Image. So a fun issue that I believe fans will easily enjoy.
If you would like to buy Hack/Slash #30 you can grab it at your local comic shop.
