3	A three-part comic series from Topps that depicts Jason Voorhees of ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' franchise meeting Leatherface and his deranged family of ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' franchise.
4
5	When Crystal Lake is dredged by unscrupulous businessmen, the undead killing machine Jason Voorhees is released from his watery grave and ends up on a train. After he derails the thing, he finds himself in Texas, where he soon meets up with Leatherface and his other family members, who are impressed by his murderous habits and welcome him into their ranks. But living with others, even among deranged cannibals, is alien to a loner like Jason, which makes a clash between him and them imminent.

7	----
8	!!''Jason vs. Leatherface'' provides examples of:
9
10	* AbusiveParent: Flashbacks show that Jason's father abused him when he was little.
11	* AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike his counterpart in the original film, this comic's version of Hitchhiker is a BigBrotherBully towards Leatherface, frequently yelling at him, beating him, and even trying to cut him with a knife at one point.
12	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: A downplayed example: in contrast to the above, this comic's Cook doesn't abuse Leatherface as harshly as he does in the films.
13	* AdaptationalUgliness: The comic as a whole has a rather grotesque art style, but the Hitchhiker is arguably the biggest victim of this.
14	* BerserkButton: Jason think he's found a friend in Leatherface, but when Leatherface sides with his family over his 'friend' Jason, the normally emotionless Jason goes completely berserk.
15	* BroadStrokes: The comic appears to take place around the time of ''[[Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday Jason Goes to Hell]]'' and ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan Jason Takes Manhattan]]'' which would set this story in the nineties, but Nubbins Sawyer is present, which would make this a prequel to the original ''[[Film/TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre]]'', which is supposed to be set in the mid-seventies.
16	* BullyingADragon: Leatherface's brothers (especially Hitchhiker) tend to abuse him with abandon. At the end of the story Leatherface grows some backbone and they quickly back off.
17	* CannibalClan: Three guesses which [[SarcasmMode charming rural family]] qualifies.
18	* CompositeCharacter: This comic's Hitchhiker also shares a few traits with Chop Top from ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2'', such as saying some of his quotes (like "dog will hunt") and using a hammer as a weapon, with Chop Top's occasional moments of getting mad at/teasing Leatherface in the film being [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] into Hitchhiker flat out abusing Leatherface in the comic.
19	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: A couple of them serves as the means of getting Jason to the Sawyers' place.
20	* CouldntFindAPen: When Cook asks what Jason's name is, he answers by writing his name on the wall with blood.
21	* CreepyGasStationAttendant: Hitchhiker's job is to work in the family's gas station, as it lures in potential victims. And he sure freaks out the customers.
22	* DueToTheDead: When Jason is eventually subdued, Cook decides that he should have a proper burial, namely a drop into the lake with weights attached. After that is done, Leatherface leaves a rose behind in his memory.
23	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Jason is utterly mystified by his sympathetic feelings towards Leatherface.
24	* [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe Half The Man's Best Friend He Used To Be]]: After [[OffWithHisHead beheading]] its owner, Jason cleaves a dog in half.
25	* IAmAHumanitarian: The Sawyers specifically capture people to make food out of them.
26	* ImpaledPalm: Hitchhiker stabs his palm with a Swiss army knife to show that nothing matters to him.
27	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: More 'friendship' than love, but Jason thinks he's found someone he can trust in Leatherface. When he learns differently [[BerserkButton things get nasty fast]].
28	* KickTheDog: Remember that 'not killing animals' thing from ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan Jason Takes Manhattan]]''? Definitely does not apply here. In addition to the dog example above, Jason also kills a racoon for no reason aside from '[[ForTheEvulz He feels like it]]'.
29	* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: Hitchhiker takes an issue with Jason's 'quick and efficient' way of killing for this reason.
30	* NeckLift: Jason lifts Hitchhiker by the neck when he's had enough of him abusing Leatherface.
31	* OhCrap: Hitchhiker's and Cook's reaction when Jason punches through a solid steel door.
32	* SeriesContinuityError: Jason's mom is named Doris. In the movies she is named Pamela.
33	* ThickerThanWater: Despite all crap Hitchhiker gives him, Leatherface still sticks for his brother. Jason completely fails to understand why, but goes along with it. [[spoiler: The first time anyway.]]
34	* TooDumbToLive: While Leatherface and Hitchhiker are chasing after a man through a forest, they run into Jason for the first time, leading to a clash between Jason and Leatherface that distracts them from their victim. This allows enough time for said victim to run away... except he just ''sits there'' and watches the fight to the end, and ends up getting the top half of his head chopped off by Jason.
35	* VersusTitle
36	* VillainousFriendship: Jason forms one with Leatherface and his family, and it seems to be the first time that Jason has ever had a friend in his life. A simple misunderstanding ruins it all though, and he heads back to Crystal Lake to get away from the place that encouraged friendship.
37	* VillainousIncest: Implied with a picture that Jason finds, as it depicts the cannibals with StrongFamilyResemblance. That and Cook's remark that his sister's sons are [[ParentalIncest also her brothers]].
38	* WakeUpFighting: When Cook wakes up Jason, he instinctively grabs him by the throat.
