Tim Seeley's comic
Hack/Slash, starring slayer of slashers Cassie Hack and her hulking companion Vlad, has had a number of crossovers, including several with properties that have already been linked to the Crossover Universe. Among the famous (or infamous) individuals Cassie and Vlad have encountered are:
Chaos Comics' Evil Ernie, who exists in an alternate reality to Cassie's native Earth, but traveled to the CU for this story...
The killer Good Guy Doll Chucky, from the
Child's Play film franchise...
The ghostly murderer Edgar Dill and his monstrous Treehugger creations, from Mark Kidwell's comic
Bump (By the way, Evan Dorkin's Milk and Cheese only appear in a dream sequence in this story, and the massive destruction wrought by the "dairy products gone bad" in their own stories is incompatible with CU continuity, so this doesn't count as a workable crossover)...
The notorious Dr. Herbert West of
Re-Animator fame...
The Living Corpse, a heroic zombie who battles supernatural evil. Interestingly, Cassie and the Corpse clearly knew each other prior to the events of this story, but the details of their first meeting have yet to be revealed...
And the would-be successors to a number of heroes from the Golden Age of Comic Books who have fallen into the public domain. Win and I have chosen to incorporate only a limited number of superheroes into the CU, based on the fact that a large number of superhuman beings running around violates the core premise that the CU, on the surface anyways, closely resembles the world outside our window. Any superheroes included are considered to be less powerful, active for a shorter period of time and much more covertly, and have had much less earth-shaking exploits than the comics depicted. The same can be assumed to be true of the heroes mentioned in this storyline, though most of the characters in question had no superpowers or very low-level ones.
To be continued tomorrow...
