review:

'Ash and the Army of Darkness' collects the first 8 issues of the comic and it's spot on and hilarious.



From the opening line, 'My name is Ash and I'm an idiot,' you know they got it right. We find Ash back in our world after defeating the Deadites in 1300 A.D. (from the 1992 movie). Due to screwing up an incantation, he finds himself back in the land of the Deadites and everything he thought he fixed has gone badly. With his signature one-liners and his arm-attached chainsaw, he sets out to save things, or screwing them up worse. It might depend on if he's lucky or not.



I think they channeled Bruce Campbell's take on Ash and Sam and Ivan Raimi's script. It's that close. For those of us who always hoped they'd do another movie, this is probably as close as we'll get. The graphic novel includes a script breakdown for issue 1 and a cover gallery. I had a lot of fun reading this.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
