Army of Darkness Forever #5

Dynamite; $3.99

In 2093, Ash and his robot army are looking for the last pages of the Necronomicon so that he can return home – but he must venture to a place he definitely doesn’t want to visit. Far back in the past in 1300, Evil Ash is on the verge of taking complete control and in 1993, the other Evil Ash is putting his own sinister plans into place.

All three situations are getting to that do or die point and the bad guys are currently winning. Writer Tony Fleecs maintains a quick tempo that adds to the excitement of what Ash and the Evil Ashes are doing, while artist Justin Greenwood and colorist Brad Simpson match the franchise’s goriness with lots of deadites. It’s a fun series for Evil Dead fans who appreciate the dark humor in the movies and show.
