Hail to the king, baby! This Wednesday, everyone’s second favorite Ash (after Ketchum) is back! The new series is from writer Tony Fleecs, and artist Justin Greenwood: Army of Darkness Forever.
Comic Book Club actually talked to Fleecs about the book at this year’s Baltimore Comic Con, and the enthusiasm was palpable. Though the rights to the property are tricky, this is a direct sequel to 1992’s Army of Darkness… Ash is trapped in the future and still fighting those Deadites. Can he survive… Forever?
You can check out the preview below to get a hint of the madness involved when the comic hits stores from Dynamite on Wednesday, October 11.

Army of Darkness Forever #1 Official Synopsis:
After it debuted in 1992, the classic Sam Raimi film Army of Darkness quickly became the most beloved movie of the popular Evil Dead franchise. And with the launch of their Army of Darkness comics in 2005, Dynamite set a new standard for the indefatigable Ash Williams’s adventures in any medium! Now, after nearly three decades of Ash-tastic action, Dynamite is upping the ante with the ultimate AOD comic book series: Army of Darkness… FOREVER!
Picking up immediately after the events of Army of Darkness (the Director’s Cut, natch), Ash chainsaws his way through the Techno Army of Darkness in 2093 and defends the sacred aisles of the S-Mart in 1993! (What? How!?) Meanwhile, in the distant past, his lady love Sheila fights off a rising evil at Castle Kandar!
Written and illustrated by comics heavyweights TONY FLEECS and JUSTIN GREENWOOD, Army of Darkness Forever features incredible covers by some of the medium’s greatest masters of horror, including series writer/mastermind TONY FLEECS, artist NICK DRAGOTTA (East of West), the zombie king himself, ARTHUR SUYDAM, and master painter FRANCESCO MATTINA!
