:o There's an AoD comic series???????? Why didn't anyone tell me??! :x I haven't bought a comic in years, but that's more than enough reason to do some back-issue hunting.

Yeah... there was a mini series that I just barely resisted buying. I think it was 3-4 issues.

It's been out for a few years now. The first three arcs are currently available in trade, "Ashes to Ashes", "Shop til you Drop" and "Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator".

There are currently 2 arcs going on at the same time, "Ash vs. Dracula" and "Darkman vs. Army of Darkness".


And yes, this is the greatest crossover since Archie vs. the Punisher. I cannot wait.

Spinning directly out of the closing pages of Dynamite’s December release Army of Darkness #13 (which will go on hiatus for the length of this in-continuity crossover)
Is this one part of a large mini-series or what? Spengs?

Ahgh... no wonder my dealer was confused when I asked him about the series.

Donatello: Dealers are dorks. Don't even talk to 'em.
All 4 (in unison): Cowabunga!

Hail to the king, baby! This new crossover -- it looks like it's gonna be crazy.

I'm enjoying the AoD comics so far and this has an impression of no dissapointment. Heck, I'm even being Ash for Halloween...:lol:

Well, the Army of Darkness comic had two minis ("Ashes to Ashes" and "Shop til you Drop") before it eventually got an ongoing. The first 4 issues of the on-going chronicled the "vs. Re-Animator" arc, 5-7 collected the "Old School" arc and 8-11 is the "vs. Dracula" arc. The "vs. Darkman" arc is a seperate miniseries all together.

The story for #12-13 I know nothing about, only that they'll be a prelude to the seperate "Vs. Marvel Zombies" arc.

There's also a "Takes of Army of Darkness" one-shot which collects several short Ash-related stories taking place at various points in continuity.

The Army of Darkness comic is VERY light-hearted and not something that takes itself seriously. It's recently gotten a bit more "serious" starting with "Old School", but still has a tongue-in-cheek atmosphere to it.

Does anyone know if Dynanite's adaptation of the movie includes scenes that were never filmed? In the commentary, Sam talked about a scene with pillars that they ran out of budget for. I wish he gave some details, but I found out from somewhere that it was supposedly in the Dark Horse adaptation from back in the day.
