Dare we say it!?!? Yes! We Dare!
ASH IS BACK, BABY!
After his most recent appearance in Die!namite Lives, Ashley Williams is retired. Settled down. Haunted by the Deadites and the Necronomicon no more- wait, no, that ain't right... None of that is true! In fact, not only is Ash still haunted by Deadites and the Necronomicon, but he's haunted by the both of them in the 1970s (kids, ask your parents. Parents, ask yourselves!)! And what does he find in the South Bronx of the late 70s? Gangs! And what have those gangs found? The Necronomicon. So, what does that make the gangs? Bad-Ass Mxxxerfxxxers.

I confess I’ve never got through any of the Evil Dead movies and I only vaguely remember watching Army of Darkness when I was a kid. However, I have read a few comics featuring Ash and they have always been fun. Army of Darkness: 1979 #1 is no exception.
The premise of the series is pretty simple. Ash is transported to the Bronx circa 1979. The opening of the book comic caught my attention immediately because it's an obvious send-up to one of my favorite movies, “The Warriors” which was also released in 1979.
In the cult classic film, hundreds of gangs hunt down the “The Warriors” who are framed for killing a prominent Gang leader. In Army of Darkness #1979, the premise is given a supernatural twist as one more
I really enjoyed this issue! How incredibly evocative of my childhood seeing Ash Williams again. Hopefully issue 2 offers some explanation to what was setup in the first issue.
