  Fans of Campbell, or of the film this story borrows liberally from, might want to give this one a try, but it's more of a curiosity (and a bit of an expensive one at $3.50) than anything else. Those waiting for the film can check it out in limited release on Halloween day. Read Full Review

  Unfortunately this, much like the Indiana Jones movie books we saw in the summer, is the perfect example of why publishers need to stop cashing in on movies simply because they can.

  Nothing against Bruce Campbell, I'm a huge fan. I'm also a fan of most of what Dark Horse publishes. Sadly, after reading My Name is Bruce, I can only give it 1.5 out of 5 stars. Lots of potential, terrible delivery. Read Full Review
