The Army of Darkness grows as Wiseman's legion of Deadites ransack town after town, burning building and stealing souls. Ash and the Mask Fighter are on the run and find themselves trapped in the Dark Wood where an old enemy waits for Ash.
Overall, Ash vs. The Army of Darkness captures the look and spirit of the film while providing new, additional stories in the Evil Dead universe. Give this book a read if you want to feel scared and laugh while doing it. Read Full Review
Funny, violent and a little bit mad, this has a lot of the characteristics that people love about the Evil Dead franchise and the character of Ash in particular. Its not as gory or scary as you might expect but otherwise captures the look and feel of the films fantastically. Hail to the King baby! Read Full Review
Ultimately it comes down to this: Ash and the Army of Darkness is a fun supplement to the films. Its a great read if you have a working knowledge of the Evil Dead mythology. If not, if youve never seen Bruce Campbell work his Ash-magic, youre going to feel lost. Youll feel like the wallflower at the cool kids party, the person who is sitting outside of the inside joke. And like I said, Im not sure thats a bad thing because I am not sure the creators set out to include everyone from the beginning. Read Full Review
Ash and the Army of Darkness is a series I desperately wanted to love. Steve Niles is a fantastic writer and the first issue showed a lot of promise and a well-constructed plot, but things just don't quite come together in the subsequent issues. There is still a lot of promise with this series and a few signs of brilliance, but it needs a really good polish. I'm not giving up just yet and I don't think you should either. Read Full Review
Ash and the Army of Darkness has let itself down big time with this issue, and I can only hope that the next issue is better. Keep your $3.99 and skip this issue. Read Full Review
I cannot recommend this book to anyone with illustrations like this. Thankfully, this story concludes next month. Read Full Review
