Hack/Slash: Does it get better?

No no no Bartleby, you are not old at all. I had someone lend me the omnibus about two years ago and it SUCKED; I was able to get through half to two thirds of the massive tome before I just had enough. Seriously, you hit the nail right on the head when you say the only thing the main character is good for is T&A - the 'author/artist' seems more concerned with dressing her in as little as possible and working out ways to get her into the shower/bed with other goth chicks than doing anything interesting with the story (which was interesting for about two issues, if that). Super lame in my book actually. But yeah  - premise had potential.  Too bad, eh?

I've heard there's a later issue where the main character ends up fighting a demonic priest in a Riverdale-esque town, and getting pissed off because all the Archie-style characters are too squeaky-clean to have sex or do drugs, thereby eliminating his list of excuses to kill them. Which almost made me want to read the comic. But everything else I've heard about it is like you say, "wasted potential", so I didn't feel the need to pick it up for that one issue.
